- With only three Standard carriers in the industry, fewer shipments of unusable carriers are made between facilities.
- BETTER QUALITY CARRIERS
- Empty carriers don’t have to be shipped as often and maintain their shape longer for increased carrier life.
- ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
- When quality carriers are used, there are fewer discarded carriers which has a positive environmental impact in the conservation of natural resources and a reduction in the waste stream.
- REDUCE CARRIER COSTS
- Total industry-wide purchases of new carriers decrease, when many manufacturers use the same sizes.
- NEW CARRIERS - JUST IN TIME
- Carrier manufacturers can stock Standard carrier sizes for immediate delivery.
