Collapsible Shipper Shrinks Shipping Costs!

Shipping an empty container certainly won’t cost more than sending a full one, but returning containers once they have been emptied is still a significant expense most businesses can do without. To shrink the costs associated with returning shipping containers why not consider collapsible shippers?

An interesting but unfamiliar option years ago, shippers that disassemble are now a viable option for businesses seeking cost savings across the entire chain of container transport.

Because both weight and cubic dimensions help determine shipping costs, collapsible shippers can help businesses reduce return shipment costs by 10 percent or more.

Optimizes storage space

Five or six disassembled shippers will usually occupy the same space as just one non-collapsible container.
