Sometimes I think about standardized retail packaging. What if there was a set of boxes/containers, and they all stacked together nearly and transported nearly. Could save a lot of time and cost on shipping and shelving and potentially make automation easier
Well, it's not cardboard, but I am absolutely fascinated by euroboxes.
A europallet is 1200x800mm.
