•Packaging, Containerization, and Material handling represent integral parts of the logistical operating system; as all three areas influence each other.
•For instance, automated handling cannot be efficiently designed without a high degree of master carton standardization, which in turn provide the opportunity to containerize individual products.
•The integration between material handling capability, transportation, warehousing, inventory policy and packaging communication into customer’s logistical system leads to minimum handling during the exchange of merchandise.
•This type of integration is commonly found in physical distribution.
