How to Reduce Cost with the Reusable Box
The Globe Guard® Reusable Box is ideal for returns, replacement shipments, intracompany transport, and many other applications where standard corrugated shipping containers have limited functional and sustainable packaging value. Here are some examples.
Warranty claims and replacements – The Globe Guard Reusable Box is ideal for reclaiming that defective product for evaluation, credit processing and eco friendly disposal. The box can be custom labeled or printed inside and out to make return processing easier and faster.
Promotions, premiums and recycling / upcycling exchanges – Example: your customer notifies you via your web site they have collected the required empty product containers and you send them their award, let’s say a tee shirt with your logo on it. They use the Globe Guard Reusable Box to ship the containers back to you for recycling and/or up cycling.
Repair and return operations – Whether your product is a watch, cell phone or a video game, the Globe Guard Reusable Box makes the return possible at minimal packaging material costs.
E-Commerce returns – Any product from shoes to tee shirts can be easily returned and processed more efficiently and at a lower packaging materials cost, in a Globe Guard Reusable Box.
Service company parts exchanges – Avoid service calls and customer inconvenience on easily installed components by shipping the product out in a Globe Guard Reusable Box. Ideal for cable and phone companies.
Intercompany and interoffice shipments – Anything from documents, to parts and samples can be easily shared with co-workers, as well as suppliers and vendors in “closed loop” shipments.
Retail product exchanges – Replace that damaged, recalled or outdated product in a Globe Guard Reusable Box. No new packaging materials required and a smooth, labor savings returns process is the usual result.
Green companies doing business with green companies – If your customers are small to midsize green minded companies they will appreciate a box they can reuse and will save them money and space.
