When to use

• Fixing a recurring damage, cost, or throughput issue.
• Spec'ing corrective materials before peak season.

The problem

"Flimsy" packaging is usually underweight ECT corrugated or too-thin poly mailers. Buyers complain when the outer package feels cheap, even if the product inside is fine.

The fix

Upgrade to ECT-44 corrugated for boxed shipments and 3+ mil poly mailers for soft goods. The material cost delta is pennies per parcel but dramatically improves perceived quality.
