When looking to implement a cost reduction strategy the first thing to look at would definitely be the bottle. Redesigns can provide sizable cost savings annually.  Part design is the inevitable starting place for all costs, so why not optimize with a carefully crafted redesign. The redesign must be a strategic part of your overall cost reduction strategy and there are other factors to be considered such as your supply chain  and your manufacturing processes. Implementing a cost effective strategy can be complex and time consuming. Let the experts at BHC Associates help through the steps of a holistic cost reduction strategy.  A part redesign is an excellent place to start, our experts are familiar with  a variety of options for nearly every configuration and end use including:

• Bottle Design - size, materials, and caps/closure are big contributors to container cost.  We can help.
• Secondary Packaging - box size and weight, cardboard versus paperboard, or the use of film or foam.

Every aspect of your bottle design including material, size, shape, and weight are important to consider when trying to develop the most cost effective design solution. This is because all of these factors will affect how much you will pay for transporting, warehousing, and fulfillment. Such factors are important components of your costs. This is why implementing a holistic cost reduction strategy can quickly become a complex task. Not to worry, our experts can make design and material recommendations that take everything into consideration to net you the most savings. Performance, functionality, and quality will not be compromised either, our experts are familiar with testing protocols and will make sure your botle is in optimal conditions and can work as intended.
