Strategies for industrial packaging selection: a systematic literature review

Silva, Nathalie LU and Pålsson, Henrik LU (2020)
Abstract
Purpose
Strategies for industrial packaging selection play an important part to maximise the potential of logistics systems and supply chains’ performance. The purpose of this paper is to gather and analyse the relevant studies for industrial packaging selection, and present an overview of the knowledge on the topic. The paper frames the research in a way that both researchers and industrial practitioners can benefit from
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review was carried-out and resulted in the analysis of 79 peer reviewed journal publications. The articles were analysed and clustered over different perspectives to provide a more comprehensive overview.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review was carried-out and resulted in the analysis of 79 peer reviewed journal publications. The articles were analysed and clustered over different perspectives to provide a more comprehensive overview.
Findings
This study identifies four categories that define industrial packaging strategies: “improve supply chain efficiency encompassing industrial packaging”, “enhance industrial packaging development process”, “minimise environmental impact of industrial packaging” and “implications of industrial packaging regulatory compliance”. Other analyses were performed: applied methodologies, publication outlets, relationship with sustainability and citation network analysis
Research implications
These analyses help to characterise the topic and structure the ways to improve supply chain performance: from a packaging assessment level to a supply chain management level such as logistics and operations management.
Original/value
By addressing the gaps in the literature and defining the research streams, this article supports both academic and industrial communities. It presents and analyses the relevant studies allowing for a clearer understanding of the state of the art, helping to structuring research and increasing awareness to the importance of strategic driven decisions.
