Hybrid Packaging
Hybrid Packaging is Storopack’s method of using multiple in-the-box packaging materials in the same carton to cut costs on materials, handling and shipping.
Use your packaging materials more cost effectively by putting more protective packaging materials only where you need them and blocking, bracing or filling with lower priced, lighter weight materials.
Speed production by developing a step-by-step packing method using materials that are easier to handle and quicker to pack.
Replace more expensive forms of custom packaging and virtually eliminate custom inventory.
