Packaging consulting is advisory work on how your freight is built, boxed, palletized and protected for transit. It sits upstream of the shipment itself: get the packaging right and you cut damage claims, avoid freight-class reclassification fees, and often fit more product in the same space.
RS Group draws on the freight we move every day — and the claims we see when packaging falls short — to advise on packaging design and optimization. We help you protect the product, control the dimensions that drive your rate, and standardize how you ship.
Why work with RS Group on packaging
Packaging is the cheapest place to fix an expensive problem. We help you fix it before it costs you.
- Fewer damage claims — packaging engineered for the handling your freight will actually see.
- Lower freight class and rates — by controlling density, dimensions and stackability.
- Better cube utilization — fit more product per pallet and per trailer.
- Standardized, repeatable packaging across your shipments.
- Advice grounded in the freight we move daily, not theory.
What we advise on
Our packaging guidance covers the decisions that drive cost and risk:
- Pallet build and load patterns for stability and stackability.
- Box, crate and dunnage selection for the protection your product needs.
- Dimensioning and density to manage your freight class and avoid reclass fees.
- Labeling, marking and handling instructions that carriers will follow.
- Right-sizing packaging to cut wasted space and shipping cost.
