The Nesting Advantage: Slashing Warehouse Costs by 66%

Traditional EPS coolers force you to pay to store and ship air. RENW’s nestable molded fiber packaging reclaims up to 80% of warehouse space, boosts trailer utilization by over 7x, and dramatically cuts logistics costs and emissions.

Stop Paying for Air: The Hidden Logistics Tax on EPS

Look at your warehouse floor. If you are storing traditional EPS coolers, you are not storing packaging – you are storing 98% air. Because standard foam coolers cannot be nested, they occupy the exact same cubic volume whether they are full of product or completely empty.

In the logistics industry, this is effectively a Distance Tax: every mile you move or store EPS, you are paying to transport and warehouse air. That wasted space quietly erodes your profit margins and constrains your supply chain.

RENW’s molded fiber packaging changes the physics of your warehouse through intelligent, nestable design.

The 5:1 Stacking Ratio

Our nestable design allows you to reclaim up to 80% of your floor space.

  • Traditional EPS coolers: non-nestable, fixed volume whether loaded or empty.
  • RENW Fiber Boxes: nestable with a 5:1 stacking ratio, so five units nest into the footprint of one.

What this means in practice:

  • Where EPS requires 6 pallets of storage, RENW Fiber Boxes require only 2 pallets.
  • The same warehouse footprint can now support more SKUs, more safety stock, or simply lower overhead.

You are no longer forced to choose between capacity and cost – nesting gives you both.

Inbound Freight Efficiency

The Distance Tax doesn’t stop at your warehouse door. It starts on the road.

  • A standard 53-foot trailer can carry roughly 2,000–2,500 fully formed EPS coolers.
  • With RENW’s nestable design, that same trailer can carry upwards of 14,000 units.

That’s a 7.2x increase in freight efficiency.

Impact on your operation:

  • Fewer trucks for the same number of units.
  • Lower inbound freight cost per cooler.
  • Reduced exposure to fuel surcharges and lane volatility.

By eliminating the Distance Tax, we severely reduce inbound freight emissions and allow our customers to deliver products more affordably over long distances than even their local EPS molders.

You stop paying to ship air and start optimizing every cubic foot of your logistics network.

Optimize Your Footprint

RENW’s molded fiber packaging delivers:

  • Up to 80% warehouse space savings via 5:1 nesting.
  • 7.2x trailer utilization compared to traditional EPS coolers.
  • Lower logistics costs and emissions across your inbound network.

If your current packaging is non-nestable EPS, you are paying a premium for empty space. RENW helps you convert that wasted volume into real value – in your warehouse, on your trailers, and across your entire cold chain.
