JYD,
It is not that the carton size is actually smaller just the compaines changed the amounts inside the package.
Pepridge Farms Goldfish Crackers went from 33oz to 30 oz and did not change anything except the listing on the carton that says net weight.So now for every 10 boxes they package they save 30 oz of material enough to make 1 whole other box.And you cannot imagine the amount of cartons I run in a 12 hour shift a roll is 46 inches wide x 3 complete cartons every 22 inches and 11,000 feet on a roll running at 650 feet per minute Me and my crew of 3 more people run about 500,000 feet in 12 hours figure on those numbers a little while as far as saving money by removing 3 onces per carton?!?!?!?
Cascade dishwash powder did thesame thing they went from 85oz carton to 75oz carton and the only thing changed was the net weight on the carton.
You can see it everywhere if you look around when you are shopping.
