Packaging consulting.

Bad packaging costs you twice — in damaged product and in freight charges. Our packaging consulting helps you protect what you ship, cut returns and breakage, and package your freight so it classes and stows correctly.

Why packaging is a freight decision

How you pack a shipment determines whether it survives the trip — and what it costs to move. Under-packaged freight arrives damaged and drives up claims and returns; over-packaged freight wastes material and weight. The right packaging protects the product through normal handling, stacks and palletizes cleanly, and presents a density and footprint that classes correctly for LTL.

RS Group's packaging consulting looks at your current materials, processes and damage history, then recommends practical changes — from design and material selection to blocking, bracing and palletization. The goal is freight that arrives intact, ships efficiently, and avoids re-bills, with compliance and performance testing where it is needed.
