We all know about truck load shipping failures like those in Photo 1. Or about products damaged during shipment like those in Photo 2. This is visible damage, the catastrophic damage we see or hear about. This is the damage that winds up in reclamation and reprocessing centers or even in landfills.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>\n But there\u2019s damage that we don\u2019t hear about or see. This is invisible damage. It\u2019s subtle, non-catastrophic damage. \u00a0It happens when only a small part of the shipment fails to arrive at its destination in \u201cas made\u201d condition. It can be something as simple as the wasted time, extra effort, and inconvenience of having to restack a pallet or two before they can be unloaded from a truck like in Photo 3.<\/p>\n\n Or maybe it\u2019s only a few units or shipping cases on single pallet that were scuffed, dented, or crushed like those in Photo 4. If the marketing department or the sales team would want a product replaced at the point of sale for any of those reasons, then it\u2019s damaged. The dollar cost of this damage may be small, but what does brand quality erosion cost you when your customers are presented with shoddy looking products?<\/p>\n\n Whether damage is visible or invisible, there\u2019s too much. And its cost is too high. The Grocery Managers Association and the Food Marketing Institute calculate that .5 % of the gross shipments in the food, beverage, and consumer products are lost to damage that happens between to point of production and the point of sale. That\u2019s $500,000 a year for a $100,000,000 company or $50,000 a year for a $10,000,000 company. Those are serious losses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The good news is that shipping damage doesn\u2019t have to be a cost of doing business. Much of it\u2019s avoidable. We\u2019ve learned that better stretch wrapping can eliminate as much as half the damage that happens as your products ship to your customers.<\/p>\n Stop being victimized by shipping damage.
