I'm reviewing a packaging procedure, but the parts in our facility are huge, they don't fit in standard boxes. We use cranes to move the parts through the process. Please provide your company procedures and how you are addressing the supplier packaging requirements or linking supplier packaging requirements with the internal company procedures.
Thanks for your help.

What a great question!

Our organization didn't deal with super large parts, but with parts that absolutely, positively had to reach a production line without scratches, dings, dirt, etc.

We worked concurrently with our customers and several packaging suppliers to arrive at a one, best solution that fit us and each customer at a price acceptable to everyone.

The great solutions we got for various customers were far beyond what I even imagined.

One solution involved re-usable packaging of hinged plastic that was "flattened" by the customer and shipped back to us for refilling - no waste to dispose of - our calculations showed we paid 3 times as much for the unit as for disposable, but got a minimum of ten turns before the unit had to be replaced. Even calculating return freight, the net cost was about half that of disposable because of the saving in trash hauling and storage space for scrap packaging.

One thing we were VERY conscious of was making sure our logo appeared prominently on EVERY package - preventing confusion with a competitor's products at an inspection or production station.. We also worked with the customer to make package quantity concur with production quantity per shift/hour/whatever so the production line could easily keep track of inventory and not have partial packages cluttering the work space.
