Single unit 4.7 kilograms: How Lifangmei Technology's ABS antenna can help overseas customers save on shipping costs

For overseas distributors of EAS products, the purchase price of antennas is only a part of the cost. International shipping charges are based on volume or weight. If an antenna is heavier or larger, the freight for the entire container will be significantly different. The ABS series antennas (AM8208) from Lifangmei Technology have a net weight of only 4.7 kilograms per unit. Two units in one box, this is a designed number.

How was the weight reduced?

The ABS material is inherently lighter than acrylic. But more importantly, it's the structural design that makes a difference.

The casing of AM8208 adopts a thin-wall injection molding design, which ensures strength while reducing the material thickness. Additionally, the internal structure of the ABS antenna is more streamlined, eliminating the need for thick supports like those in acrylic antennas. As a result, for antennas of the same size, AM8208 is approximately 30% to 40% lighter than similar products made of acrylic material.

Packaging plan: Considering 2 units per box

The packaging specification for AM8208 is 2 units per box (P24), and the size of the cardboard box is 1590×490×245mm. This design has several advantages:

Controllable single-box weight: The total weight of the two antennas and the cardboard box is approximately 12-13 kilograms, which can be easily carried by one person.

High space utilization: The size of the carton is compatible with the standard pallet, ensuring no space is wasted during loading.

Reduce packaging materials: Compared to single-piece packaging, it saves packaging materials and also reduces unpacking time.

How much can the freight be saved? (Estimation reference)

Take the sea transportation from Shenzhen Port to a basic port in Europe as an example:

The lightweight design has reduced the shipping cost of each antenna by approximately 30%.

Each 40-foot container can carry more antennas, and the freight cost per antenna is lower when distributed to individual units.

For distributors with an annual purchase volume of over 500 units, they can save several thousand dollars in transportation costs each year.

The actual feedback from overseas distributors

Multiple overseas customers have reported:

The shipping cost of the sample is significantly lower than expected.

When conducting bulk purchasing, the quantity of goods loaded in a single container increases.

During warehouse handling, the weight of each box is moderate, which reduces the risk of causing injuries to personnel.

Which type of customers benefit the most?

Overseas EAS distributors: Purchase in bulk and then distribute to local retail stores. The shipping costs are directly included in the cost.

Cross-border e-commerce sellers: When shipping small quantities by air, a lighter weight means lower shipping costs.

Chain brand overseas stores: The headquarters conducts unified purchasing and then distributes it to stores in various countries. The logistics costs are controllable.

Lightweighting does not mean cutting corners.

AM8208 is made of ABS engineering plastic, which has stronger impact resistance than acrylic. It is molded with a 1300-ton injection machine, ensuring the strength of the shell. The product catalogue clearly indicates the testing performance: soft labels are 1.6-1.8 meters, and hard labels are 1.8-2.8 meters, which is basically the same as the acrylic products in the same series.

Lightness is an optimization made while ensuring performance.
