UPS has collaborated with Sealed Air Corporation to offer advanced e-commerce packaging and shipping solutions for the retailers, e-tailers and other businesses.
The solutions will help to maximize the efficiency of their packaging operations, minimize packaging waste and reduce annual shipping costs.
The deal allows UPS customers to access additional package engineering expertise and services from Sealed Air’s packaging application centers.
The centers will offer design, testing, and packaging performance analysis for customers through round the clock operations.
Sealed Air will also take part in the UPS Customer Technology Program (CTP) to offer packaging systems and materials for the customers.
CTP is a customer loyalty program, which links small to medium-sized businesses with best-in-class vendors of hardware, software, peripherals and packaging to expand their businesses.
UPS chief commercial officer Alan Gershenhorn said: “Our partnership with Sealed Air provides a powerful suite of products and services to businesses operating in the booming e-commerce arena, which is expected to grow at three times the rate of GDP.
“We are focused on providing the tools, products and services that our business customers need to efficiently, cost-effectively, and sustainably drive their operations forward, while at the same time, continuing to provide convenience, choice, and control to consumers.”
Sealed Air president and CEO Jerome Peribere said: “E-commerce is perhaps the most important consumer goods revolution of the last 15 years and companies like UPS and Sealed Air have transformed themselves to serve it.”
