𝟱 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟯𝗣𝗟𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 At Lesters, we spend a lot of time inside warehouses and fulfilment centres. The same operational headaches come up time and again - and most of them trace back to packaging that wasn't designed with the warehouse in mind. 𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 If your inbound packaging arrives pre-erected or poorly flat-packed, it's consuming racking and floor space before it's even been used. Well-engineered corrugated solutions should flat-pack efficiently, store in minimum footprint, and erect quickly at the packing station. Space is money in a 3PL environment. 𝟮. 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 Every extra second at a packing station multiplies across thousands of picks per day. If operatives are struggling with awkward constructions, inconsistent sizing, or boxes that don't erect cleanly, you're losing throughput. Packaging should be designed around the speed of your operation - not the other way around. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝗞𝗨𝘀, 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Managing dozens of different box sizes across multiple client accounts is a stock control and forecasting nightmare. The right packaging partner will help you rationalise your range - finding bespoke solutions that work across more SKUs, reducing the number of lines you need to hold and the complexity of your replenishment. 𝟰. 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 Product damage in transit is an obvious cost. But damage caused by packaging failure during pick, pack, and despatch - within your own four walls - is often overlooked. Packaging that's under-engineered for the weight or dimensions of the product creates breakages, repack time, and client complaints that land squarely on the 3PL. 𝟱. 𝗔 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 Peak season, new client onboarding, rapid volume growth - 3PLs need a supplier who can respond at pace and hold stock when needed. A supplier who treats you as a standard account when you need a strategic partner is a operational risk you shouldn't be carrying. At Lesters, we design and manufacture bespoke corrugated packaging with the warehouse operation front of mind - not just the end customer. We work with 3PL providers and e-commerce fulfilment operations to make the day-to-day easier, faster, and more cost-efficient. If any of the above sounds familiar, it's probably worth a conversation.

When it's designed properly, it keeps kitting operations accurate, sequencing on track, and assembly lines moving. We've just published a guide breaking down exactly how automotive packaging supports JIT production - and why getting it right makes a measurable difference to production performance. At Lesters, we understand more about how parts move through your supply chain, so we can create better solutions around it. Bespoke. Precise. Built for performance.

𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲? Corrugated boxes are everywhere. From e-commerce to automotive, aerospace, and retail, they're arguably the backbone of modern supply chains. But the process behind them is more interesting than most people realise. Here's a snapshot of what actually goes into making them: 📦 It starts with paper reels fed through heated rollers to create that iconic fluted structure — the wave-shaped layer that gives corrugated its strength. 🖨️ From there, flexographic printing plates apply branding, barcodes and handling instructions directly onto the board. ✂️ Precision slotting and die cutting then shape the box; adding hand holes, display panels or ventilation slots where needed. 📐 Finally, it's folded, glued and shipped flat — reducing storage and transport costs before it even reaches you. Understanding how your packaging is actually made isn't just interesting — it helps you make better decisions when specifying solutions, choosing suppliers, or designing for your supply chain.
