The headwinds.

‍

Since its founding in 1898, has been helping its customers increase sales, reduce costs, and boost productivity with the support of over 200 packaging consultants in more than 100 offices around the world. As the world’s only Hybrid Packaging Supplier®, Berlin Packaging offers a variety of packaging solutions for consumers and businesses across almost every industry.

‍

Berlin Packaging’s valuable products and services play a major role in packaging supply chains. Metal containers, dispensing systems, plastic, and glass are just a few of the billions of packaging components that the company produces and sells.

‍

Before finding ������ý, Berlin Packaging relied on traditional less than truckload (LTL) shipping, which resulted in unreliable transit times, damage, and excess LTL and partial (PTL) costs.

The solution.

‍

The team at ������ý analyzed Berlin Packaging’s shipment profiles and network, and recommended our guaranteed terminal-free ������ýDirect® service, which moves shipments via an alternative mode—Shared Truckload (STL).

‍

With ������ýDirect®, Berlin Packaging’s shipments are matched and combined with other freight going in the same direction to create a full load. The freight stays on the same truck, with the same driver, all the way to its destination, and they only pay for the space they actually need.

‍

Berlin Packaging secured its first Shared Truckload shipment with ������ý in April of 2020. Now, Berlin Packaging books this service for all types of shipments. In fact, 80% of Berlin Packaging’s Shared Truckload shipments are larger than 12 linear feet.

‍

While Berlin Packaging hasn’t stopped shipping LTL altogether, the company says ������ý’s Shared Truckload service is “superior to LTL by a long shot.”
