Packaging Strategy 3
Introduction
Product packages are evident to the marketing and logistics team as well as the final consumer as
a critical resource during product distribution. however, during the physical distribution of the
goods, the product seems to evoke distribution importance as packages seem to play a more
obscure role, (Ballou 2014). A detailed analysis is given to identify various managerial initiatives
that can be implemented to develop proper packaging role in the distribution of the solar panels.
Product packaging is mainly concerned with the packages used. According to (Arbnor & Bjerke
2017), packaging as a field technically focuses on the characteristics of packages with close
attention given to the technical features of the package. Packaging technicality refers to the
package form and how it is related to its functionality levels when the used packages interplay
with different logistics actors and facilities in the supply chain. Given the little knowledge on the
effect of packaging on logistics, a greater understanding needs to be established (Ojmertz 2015).
This will represent the role played by packaging in relation to goods in providing safe solar items
to the final consumer. overall, packaging represents a logistics management function as well as
play a technical role without which logistics efficiency will not be achieved.
Although product packaging is viewed to have a significant impact on the effectiveness and
efficiency of the logistical system adopted and other activities carried such as panel
manufacturing, storage, distribution and handling of the item throughout the distribution
channels, most managers have overlooked the tenets that can improve the effect packaging will
have on the overall efficiency of the logistics system. product packaging specification influences
the time needed to complete the packaging process which has a direct effect on the overall
product lead time and the delivery date to the end-user (Lambert, Stock & Ellram 2013).

Packaging also affects the effectiveness of supply chain management because it represents an
interface between the main user of the product and the supply chain process. the end-user
dictates the primary task of the supply chain process. this is evident in the supply of solar items.
The concept of packaging logistics focuses on establishing synergies achieved through the
integration of packaging processes and logistics with the aim of improving logistics efficiency
and effectiveness by improving both packaging-related processes, (Hellström & Saghir, 2013)
One way the management of a firm can achieve this is through concentrating on packaging
development initiatives that benefit the overall packaging activities in the logistics system, which
is commonly referred to as logistical packaging. A better understanding of the complexity and
how sophisticated the packaging logistics is by the management is required and the development
of new initiatives that will facilitate smoother distribution of the solar items throughout the
whole logistics process is required. for the management to develop such initiatives, it is
important to implement proper tools and techniques at the early stages of the packaging process
especially during the product development stage which will secure proper consideration of
packaging logistical processes in the whole supply chain.
This paper will purpose to explore initiatives that can be adopted by the management to ensure
the development of packaging processes so as to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the
logistics process of the solar items.
Packages
the packaging process is mainly concerned with the aspects of packages and the use of packages
in goods distribution and the logistical aspects. However, it also affects various aspects that are
related to the customer. According to Dowlatshahi (2016), packaging serves two distinctive
