Analysis of the Unscientific Pricing Issues from Other Suppliers

To compare price differences, it's crucial to first define the standards for packaging production. Price comparisons can only be made under the same standards. Our company strictly adheres to the national standard for wooden frame boxes, whereas other manufacturers do not follow these national standards, rendering them non-comparable. Therefore, to ensure the safety and reliability of packaging, it is necessary to implement national standards.

2. Determine the packaging grade based on the logistics conditions. 1) Grade 1 is suitable for scenarios requiring multiple loading and unloading, stacking, and potentially enduring significant external forces, primarily for shipping by sea. This also applies to cargo that is loaded into containers for shipping, then unloaded at the destination port, removed from the container, and subsequently transported by land (referred to as LCL cargo). 2) Grade 2 is appropriate for situations with fewer loading and unloading occasions, less external force, mainly for container shipping (referred to as FCL cargo), domestic transport, and door-to-door delivery of single items.

Based on the above two grades, determine whether to opt for light packaging or heavy packaging.

3. Often when we receive customer inquiry calls, they ask, "How much per square meter for the packaging box if calculated by surface area?" or "How much per cubic meter for the box volume?" This is an unscientific way of asking. Here are two examples to illustrate:

Example 1:

Two boxes have identical outer dimensions: 2m x 1m x 3m, with a surface area of 22m² and a volume of 6m³ each. One box requires a load-bearing capacity of 1 ton, while the other requires 5 tons. Due to the differing load-bearing capacities, the cross-sectional dimensions of the components vary, which in turn changes the amount of material used and the price. Therefore, a fixed unit price cannot be multiplied by the surface area or the volume of the box.

Example 2:

Two boxes, with dimensions of 2m x 1m x 3m and 3m x 1m x 2m respectively, both have a surface area of 22m² and a volume of 6m³. Despite having the same carrying capacity and identical component cross-sectional sizes according to national standards, the difference in the amount of material used due to varying base areas means the two boxes will have different material quantities, and thus, different prices. In other words, two boxes with the same volume, surface area, and carrying capacity will have different material quantities and prices due to variations in their length, width, and height dimensions. Consequently, the price per square meter and per cubic meter for the two boxes will also differ.

In summary, Zheng'an Packaging is precisely based on standard adherence, the accuracy of materials, and the prices are well-considered.
