Best Practices to Increase Sales in Costco

Our next story is relevant for any brand looking to boost sales in Costco. The BoxMaker has published a list of key recommendations to grow sales in this leading retailer.

Suggested ways to improve sell-through with packaging include keeping your graphics fresh with digital print, enhancing your in-store presence with pallet displays, and leveraging seasonal messaging.

TCO: Understanding the True Cost of Packaging Inventory

Our final story shines a light on the true cost of packaging.

Total cost of ownership is critical to consider when tabulating the cost of your packaging. More than just the line items on your purchase order, total cost of ownership takes into consideration all the upfront and hidden costs that go into owning packaging inventory.

For example, did you know that storing a pallet of unused packaging inventory on the warehouse floor for one month can cost anywhere from $16 to $48 per month?

To learn how to minimize hidden costs and optimize your packaging inventory to reduce total cost of ownership, head over to The BoxMaker’s blog to read the full story.

That’s it for the Quarterly Packaging Report. I’m Kristi Duvall, reminding you to contact The BoxMaker and Experience the Power of Packaging in 2024.
