Organizing Packaging and Shipping More Sustainably
Sustainable shipping begins with appropriate carton sizes, sensible void fill, and clear standards in outgoing goods.
Many companies regularly use cartons, packing paper, labels, document pouches, tape, and void fill. By purchasing these items in a structured way, material consumption, search times, and reorders can be reduced.
Brief Answer
Sustainable shipping is achieved through appropriate packaging sizes, paper-based alternatives, reuse of cardboard, fixed standard items, and well-organized ordering processes.
The Most Important Levers
- Choose cartons suitable for product size
- Avoid oversized packaging
- Check packing paper and paper void fill
- Sensibly reuse existing cardboard
- Define shipping items as core assortment
- Standardize document pouches, labels, and tape
HSM ProfiPack as an Insider Tip
If a company regularly accumulates cardboard, a cardboard shredder can turn existing cardboard into cushioning material. The HSM ProfiPack C400 is therefore interesting for businesses that want to better connect goods inwards and outwards.

Connecting Sustainability and Efficiency
More sustainable packaging only works in practice if it remains convenient. Therefore, companies should not only buy individual more sustainable products but consider the entire packaging process.
