Peak season is coming. Is your operation ready? 🤔

When order volumes increase, even small inefficiencies can have a big impact on productivity, costs and customer satisfaction.

That's why we've built our 5 Pillars of Supply Chain Efficiency:

👍 Pick
✅ Store
📦 Pack
🚚 Ship
🤝 Return

These are the critical stages where the right packaging solutions can help streamline processes, reduce waste and keep your supply chain moving when demand is at its highest.

At Lesters Packaging, we work with businesses every day to identify opportunities for improvement across their operation.

Because at Lesters, We Deliver More than just packaging. We deliver solutions that help your business perform better.

When it comes to order picking, speed is important, but it's only part of the picture.

A fast picking process means very little if errors are creeping in along the way. Incorrect picks can lead to delays, additional costs, returns, and frustrated customers.

The goal isn't just to pick faster. It's to create a process that helps your team work efficiently while getting it right first time.

💡 Quick Tip: Don't just measure pick speed. Measure pick accuracy too. Looking at both together gives a much clearer picture of warehouse performance.

Every return has a cost. But could some of them be prevented before they happen? 🔄 🤔

Supply Chain Minute #5 | RETURN

Returns don't always start with the product itself. Often, the journey, handling, and protection along the way play a bigger role than businesses realise.

The right packaging can help reduce damage, lower return rates, and give customers confidence when their order arrives.

Are you paying to transport products... or empty space? 🤔

The fourth pillar in our Supply Chain Minute series is SHIP. Empty space might seem insignificant, but when it's multiplied across boxes, pallets and trailers, it can quickly increase costs and reduce efficiency.

💡 Quick Tip: Before focusing solely on freight rates, review how products are packed, stacked and palletised. Small improvements in load efficiency can make a big difference.

Are oversized boxes quietly adding cost to your supply chain? 🤔

The third pillar in our Supply Chain Minute series is PACK.

Right-sized packaging helps reduce waste, lower transport costs, improve product protection and create a better customer experience.

Quick Tip: Start with your highest-volume SKUs. Small packaging improvements can deliver big results when scaled across thousands of orders.
