NPC Xpress Attribute: Has material weight been reduced for material efficiency optimisation?
Last Modified: 13/03/2024
Description:

If yes (Y), your packaging must be deemed optimised for material weight. In this question, optimised means that no further improvement reductions in packaging weight or volume are possible at the present time, without it compromising product quality and safety. In this case, going beyond the “optimised” level would mean that the packaging would no longer be fit-for-purpose.
