Establish Distribution Centre In China

Over the past ten years or so, few segments of the U.S. Packaging industry have expanded as rapidly as an area commonly referred to as "Fulfillment Packaging", "Pick-and-Pack" or "Distribution Centre" operations.

E Trade Alliance Logistics (ETA Logistics) May help you to establish your own distribution centre in China.

With your own distribution centre, you may:

• From Pallets to Parcels, or "Eaches" - The shift in the way products reach the consumer places a higher value on the packaging process, emphasizing the need for efficiency and speed as well as ultimate performance (a damaged product delivered to a customer will most likely create additional problems associated with returns and replacements along with the creation of a less than satisfied customer).
• High volume of Small Parcels - More packaging will be consumed as each order must go out in its own shipping container, with many also requiring additional interior packaging for protection or void fill. This can result in higher packaging costs and a greater emphasis on the consumers’ perceptions of how much packaging they receive and then somehow must dispose of.
• More Handling and Processing - These packages are shipped primarily through single parcel shipping systems. Using such venues as UPS, FedEx, LTL (Less than Truckload) common carriers and the Post Office almost certainly guarantee that every package shipped through the system will experience significant compressive, vibratory and impact forces along with potential exposure to temperature, humidity and altitude extremes. For products historically shipped unitized, palletized or by special or contract carriers, using these systems will require new types of protection, not necessarily required in the past, for safe delivery.
• Short Order-Delivery Cycles - Orders received by 9 am in many cases can be shipped by 5 pm on the same day for delivery by mid-day the following date. For operations such as these, Process Efficiencies are paramount. No time or effort can be wasted in meeting such expectations on a continuing basis.
• Greater Levels of Competition - Companies based on these business models are seeing intense competition from like and similar entities. Many products are available in either identical or equivalent form from any of a number of different, but similar sources. Competitive advantage can only be maintained through satisfying customer expectations, which in turn requires higher levels of accomplishment and efficiency in the overall Distribution Center operations, including packaging functions.
• Expanding Numbers of Sources and Outsourcing - Products offered by these businesses are more and more often manufactured in an ever expanding number of geographic and economic areas. More and more products are being produced in different parts of the world, shipped, unitized to the Distribution Center from where it is offered, along with thousands of others, to a customer base which is also dramatically expanding in geographic reach. Efficiencies of operations must now bridge thousands of miles of logistics in order to insure optimum supply chain effectiveness. Product and packaging specifications and requirements must now encompass a wide range of languages, systems, regulations and levels of capabilities.
