Integrated packaging solutions provide manufacturers with cost-effective protective transportation packaging and service solutions that help reduce your total costs.
Need more than a simple pallet or crate?
Conner’s multi-material solutions are tailored to fit your product and designed to optimize your supply chain by utilizing a wide variety of materials, including wood, corrugate, foam, and plastics to protect your products while in transit.
Working with large manufacturing operations, we use a consultative approach to help customers address a wide variety of challenges and help reduce the total cost associated with integrated packaging solutions, including materials. labor, transportation, and damage-in-transit costs. Conner understands how all these costs add up to impact your bottom line.
What’s the Real Cost of In-Transit Damage?
When it comes to transportation packaging, one of the biggest threats that your business faces is the damage that occurs during the transport of your products. If you’re like most manufacturers, it’s also one of your most significant costs.
Unfortunately, many manufacturers don’t really account for ALL of the costs associated with in-transit damages. Of course, there are the obvious costs, such as product replacement and freight claims, but that’s really only the tip of the iceberg. When you look below the surface, there are several additional cost factors associated with products damaged in-transit, including things like return shipments, customer service hours, and the cost of rework/repairs.
Our engineered packaging team will help you find the best packaging solution for your product and greatly reduce those damage-in-transit costs.
Optimize Your Supply Chain With The Right Integrated Packaging Solution
For most packaging companies, the goal of integrated packaging applications is to design and create smart secondary and tertiary packaging to protect your product while it’s moving from your manufacturing facility, warehouse, or fulfillment center to its final destination.
That’s one of our goals too, but the ultimate goal of integrated packaging here at Conner is to help you optimize your supply chain with the right integrated packaging solution. That means that it protects your products AND is the most cost-effective solution possible. It’s the primary reason why we use a Total Cost Approach.

Integrated Packaging Solutions For A Wide Variety of Industries and Markets
As you already know, Conner serves a variety of industries for custom pallets and crates, but integrated packaging solutions are a little bit different. This type of protective packaging often requires the use of multiple types of materials to keep products safe, such as wood, corrugate, foam, and plastics.
Multi-material protective packaging is only necessary for certain types of products. While we can work with just about any manufacturer or market, we’ve found that the appliance, HVAC, glass, and automotive markets are most in need of integrated packaging solutions.
Never A One-Size-Fits-All Approach
With nearly 40 years of experience in industrial packaging, we understand that integrated packaging (also called multi-material packaging) requires a different approach. Integrated packaging is never a one-size-fits-all proposition.
It requires a deep understanding of your needs and a clear definition of the challenges you’re facing. In other words, we start by listening so that we can gain an intimate knowledge of your products, processes, and operations. We know that our partners demand innovative, comprehensive solutions delivered with a high level of logistic service and supply chain support.
With our consultative approach to integrated packaging solutions, we tailor packaging and service programs that achieve long-term cost control. Get in touch with us now to discuss your situation.
