Safco Dental Supply is now certified under the United Parcel Service' (UPS) Eco Responsible Packaging Program.
Safco has teamed with UPS to optimize its packaging for damage prevention, right sizing, and materials content. As a result, Safco's package damage rate decreased by more than 50%, according to the company.
Partnering with UPS made sense for Safco and its dental customers because the new packaging allows the company to deliver products to customers in the good condition they expect, according to Ken Saffir, Safco president. Better packaging means that dental offices avoid the hassle of having to arrange for a replacement for a damaged product and the possible treatment delays that may result.
To earn certification, Safco had to have each box it prepared for shipping evaluated by UPS according to procedures vetted by SGS Group, a provider of inspection, testing, and verification services. All packaging had to meet criteria for damage prevention, right sizing, and materials content.
After three months and numerous redesigns, Safco met all the requirements and today is able to feature the UPS Eco Responsible Packaging Program logo on all packages it prepares and ships.
