Ergonomics is often an overlooked element in package design.
The implementation of ergonomic principles is important for reducing stress and eliminating injuries. For manufactuers the process of constructing corrugated packaging can be a labor intensive and costly process. And poorly designed corrugated packaging increases these process costs. Smart manufacturers realize that investing in ergonomically designed packaging can cut costs and reduce production down time.
The Costs of Poor Ergonomic Corrugated Box Design
It is imperative to take ergonomics seriously when creating a packaging solution.
The number of folds combined with the heavy weight of material placed inside the corrugated box can make for difficult box construction.
There is no doubt that poorly designed corrugated boxes can create production inefficiencies. And over time repetative lifting of a poorly designed corrugated box puts unneeded stress on the operators’ fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Creating higher costs to the manufacturer with lost productivity and healthcare costs.
