Abstract

With the choice of the proper packaging of the product to be transported our objective is to keep the products safe and whole. Furthermore, besides supporting marketing goals other objectives are the reduction of stocks deriving from logistical costs and lead time, avoiding losses deriving from damages and compliance with expectations regarding cleanliness, etc. The aim of this study is to introduce the correlations between stock changes and costs incurring from different packaging concepts. The cost elements are introduced along certain packaging alternatives and along a diversely narrowed supply chain. These cost elements need to be quantified throughout the calculation process. The aspects of selecting an optimal packaging concept can be conducted along three significant dimensions which are the following – cost, stock, impact on environment.
