Operational Efficiencies with Flexi-Hex

Let’s face it, running a modern e-commerce business is no walk in the park. Between rising costs, demanding customers, and the ever-growing pressure to be more sustainable, it can feel like you’re spinning plates. But here’s the good news: Flexi-Hex can not only help you delight customers and switch to 100% recycled paper packaging, it can also improve your operational efficiencies.

The Hidden Cost of Inefficiency

According to DS Smith’s Last-Mile Delivery: The Future Unpacked report, last-mile delivery now eats up 41% of total supply chain costs. That’s nearly half your logistics budget gone before your product even reaches the doorstep. Add to that the fact that 39% of e-commerce businesses are seeing double-digit cost increases in areas like returns and damaged goods, and it’s clear: inefficiency is expensive.

Meanwhile, Sourceful’s Solving the Packaging Puzzle reveals that 1 in 4 packaging shipments are late, and 1 in 10 arrive damaged or poorly packed, costing businesses up to £150,000 a year in waste. Ouch.

Flexi-Hex: Small Sleeves; Big Impact

At Flexi-Hex, we’re on a mission to make packaging smarter, leaner, and greener. Our honeycomb sleeves aren’t just beautiful, they’re brilliantly compact, incredibly protective, and designed to make your operations run like clockwork.

Here’s how we help:

Mini Sleeves for Bottles

These patented bottle sleeves are 5x more compact than bubble wrap, meaning you can slash your storage costs and free up warehouse space. Plus, they fit 3.5x more units on a pallet compared to bulky pulp – that’s serious efficiencies.

Air Range Sleeves

Ultra-light and ultra-compact, our Air sleeves let you fit 600 units in a single box. That’s a game-changer for high-volume brands looking to scale without the bulk.

Streamlined Packing

Our sleeves are quick to use, easy to store, and reduce the risk of damage in transit, which means fewer returns, happier customers, and a smoother operation from warehouse to doorstep.

Efficiency That’s Good for Business and the Planet

Operational efficiency isn’t just about saving money (though we’re all for that). It’s about reducing waste, improving customer experience, and building a supply chain that’s fit for the future. With Flexi-Hex, you get packaging that’s plastic-free, recyclable, and made from responsibly sourced paper so you can tick the sustainability box while boosting your bottom line.
