To provide benefits throughout the supply chain, packaging needs to be efficient. Cartons have a record of cost effective packing at high speed. Elements such as effective shelf stacking, fast bar code reading and the ability to utilise upcoming technological developments such as RFID, all combine to provide significant benefits in the supply chain when using cartons. At the same time there are countless different means that can be utilised to make cartons tamper evident and so more secure. With the increasing need for security systems, cartons are well placed to offer a viable route to safer and more secure packaging.
