ModusLink uses a number of tools to produce the most efficient packaging and to reduce greenhouse emissions. "We can create different structural styles, look at different boxes, look at the blank sizes, and reduce the amount of materials as we design the package," explains Sligar. "With ArtiosCAD, I can go through a sample library and design with less board, searching for the most efficient use of materials. Of course, when virtual prototypes are made, we save the cost of shipping prototypes and with online presentations, I can reduce travel expenses."
