Now this is something you don't get to see in Singapore.
Milk in soft pouch packaging.
I asked my manager the reason behind this as I thought it would be a nightmare for logistics. Goods are always being stacked to fully utilitise (vertical) space in the warehouse and I was wondering won't these pouches run the risk of bursting under the pressure of stacking weight?
I was told that the Ch1nese folks don't drink their milk cold like many of us from overseas.
Milk are often consumed warm especially during winter time and so a soft pouch is ideal when you want to warm the milk by immersing the pouch in a bowl of warm water.
Ah. So now you know.

Still doesn't explain how the storage problem is solved. Or is there a normal expectation of burst packets just like standard inventory spoilage?

Arrenn: I didn't go futher into the logistics of it. My entry was just talking about the consumer habits here i.e. having soft pouch.
ReplyDeleteI played around with the packet. It is rather tough as far as material is concerned and the packet was not filled to capacity i.e. there is slack for a reasonable amount of compression.
