Making the packaging bigger makes it difficult for someone to steal it. If you were to put the card in a small envelope, you would have to store the card in a locked cabinet and call for an employee to unlock and hand it to you. Multiply that by hundreds/thousands of small products and employee costs would outstrip your savings for a cheaper SD card.
- jbob2000 8y agoHoly crap, y'all are still missing my point! Having an employee open a locked cabinet would be AMAZING if it reduces packaging. I don't give a shit about costs, why do you think I care about cost savings? I care about reducing waste to the landfill. If that means someone has to unlock a cabinet for me, so be it.
