Abstract

The paper will show that the area of a cube is less than the area of a parallelepiped of the same volume, and that the volume of the cube is greater than the volume of the parallelepiped of the same area, what is of major importance for the transportation of goods in cardboard packaging with the possibility of application to other packaging materials. Motivation for finding an exact mathematical proof for this problem originates from the Nestle company, since inadequate forms of product packaging for transport purposes have been noticed. Products are transported in cardboard packagings, but in inadequate forms with respect to optimization of transportation costs. The proof in this paper emphasizes the need for changing the form of packaging into a cubic one for the purpose of product transportation.
