CHALLENGES OF PAPER&PACKAGING LOGISTICS
Rising freight costs
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the Producer Price Index for the paper industry increased by 5.5% between February 2020 and February 2021. This increase in costs can impact profit margins and competitiveness, making it more challenging for businesses to remain viable.
At LAX Freight, we work closely with our customers to understand their shipping needs and provide them with the most cost-effective transportation solutions. Our team of logistics experts leverages data and analytics to optimize routes, modes, and carriers, ensuring that our customers receive the most efficient and cost-effective transportation services possible.
Challenging to find carriers with specialized equipment
Many paper and packaging products require unique handling, such as specialized trailers, flatbeds, or temperature-controlled equipment. The lack of availability of these specialized carriers can lead to delays, damaged products, and higher transportation costs. According to a survey conducted by the National Shippers Strategic Transportation Council, 27% of paper and packaging industry respondents reported equipment availability as a significant challenge.
At LAX Freight, we specialize in providing transportation solutions for the Paper & Packaging industry and have extensive experience working with carriers who have the specialized equipment necessary to handle unique shipments. Our logistics experts work closely with our customers to identify their unique transportation needs and provide them with tailored solutions that ensure the safe and efficient transportation of their products.
Damage and loss during transportation
The National Shippers Strategic Transportation Council reports that the average damage claim for a shipment of paper products is $1,389. This underscores the vulnerability of paper and packaging products to damage during transportation, which can lead to significant financial losses. To address this challenge, LAX Freight prioritizes the safety and security of our customers’ shipments. We work with carriers who have a proven track record of safe and reliable transportation, and we provide our customers with real-time tracking and visibility tools to monitor their shipments from start to finish, mitigating the risk of damage and loss during transportation.
Sustainability
The Journal of Cleaner Production reports that the paper and packaging industry is one of the largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions among manufacturing sectors in the US. This highlights the importance of sustainability considerations for customers in the industry.
At LAX Freight, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and helping our customers do the same. We offer carbon-neutral shipping options and work with carriers who prioritize sustainability and eco-friendly practices. By doing so, we help our customers meet their sustainability goals while also ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of their products.
