The Invisible Cost of Poor Packaging: Why Color Matters in Warehouse Operations
As 82% of supply chain professionals admit packaging deficiencies cost their organizations $120,000+ annually in wasted labor (Global Warehouse Benchmarking Report 2024), VidePak’s VisualCode Edge series emerges as a transformative solution. By merging ISO-certified color management with BOPP woven bag durability, we’ve engineered packaging that reduces picking errors by 94% while maintaining 99.97% defect-free production – a breakthrough that enabled Mars Foods and Unilever to achieve 99.8% inventory accuracy across 34 global facilities.
Inventory Optimization: Engineering Packaging for Human-Machine Collaboration
