PACKAGING
Reducing costs
T
by Keith Loria | dairyprocessing@sosland.com
he global dairy product packaging market was valued
at $34.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach
approximately $51.96 billion by 2032, according to data
from Towards Packaging.
For those in the dairy industry, a key factor in continuing
to see growth rests in reducing costs at the packaging level.
Robert Khachatryan, chief executive officer and founder
of Freight Right Global Logistics, noted there are numerous
strategies to reduce packaging costs, including material
optimization, process efficiency and reducing waste.
" Streamlining packaging processes through lean
manufacturing principles can lead to significant cost
reductions, " Khachatryan said. " Implementing continuous
improvement practices can significantly decrease
waste, allowing dairy producers to reallocate resources
more effectively. "
Emerging trends in this regard include smart packaging
and increased use of biodegradable materials, which will
impact cost management.
For instance, Steve Rosas, a consultant with Omega
Environmental, a firm that regularly works with food and
beverage companies to streamline their supply chains and
packaging processes, recently helped a large dairy producer
transition from plastic jugs to shelf stable cartons in an effort
to save money.
" By analyzing their filling and sealing equipment, we
identified ways to upgrade and optimize their machinery, " he
said. " New carton-specific equipment reduced material waste,
lowered energy usage and decreased changeover time. Within
six months, they cut packaging costs by over 15% per unit. "
Luke Sakovitz, associate director of packaging for cheese
company Sargento Foods, noted the company's packaging
R&D team helps support Sargento's annual cost savings goals
by addressing a few specific needs.
Dairy processors are taking innovative approaches to cost-effective packaging.
