The Advantages of Compressed Cube Shipping

Most wiping cloth companies ship orders in standard size boxes. All Rags, for example, normally handles packing and shipping in 10-, 25- and 50-pound boxes.

But we also offer our customers an innovative option: 10- and 25-pound compressed cubes. Just like compressed cubes for packing suitcases or storing items at home, our cubes do an amazing job of compressing the contents to minimize the space required for shipping.

By eliminating boxes in favor of compressed cubes, you can not only reduce the volume of space needed for shipping and possible storing, you can reduce your shipping costs and provide better protection for the cloths you purchased.

In other words, compressed cubes will protect your cloths from water, moisture, and dirt much better than standard boxes.

How does this process work? By removing as much air as possible from the packaging. Maybe you remember when grocery stores sold coffee in compressed air packages? Some still do. With air removed from inside the packaging, the contents weigh less and the package is smaller. And, the package’s contents stay in the same place throughout the shipping process. That way they arrive neat and orderly.

This idea has caught on in other types of packing. For example, Amazon, REI, and other retailers sell luggage that allows the air to be removed. In some cases, removing the air can make the bag small enough to carry onto a plane rather than checking. These products are becoming more popular for travelers.

When it comes to shipping rags, optimizing packing space creates smaller volume packages which cost less to ship. But the advantages continue after your packages have arrived: Your product takes up less storage space in your warehouse or cabinets, creating more room for other supplies.

Getting more rags in the same space can also allow you to order larger volumes less often. This can free up employees’ time that’s usually spent loading and unloading shipments. This process can also save time spent on breaking down and recycling large cardboard boxes.
