Transport operators are not always to blame for your product arriving in poor condition.
Analyze your ecommerce shipments and packaging and improve it with these simple
tricks.

How To Improve Your Shipments With The Right Boxes?

Use the boxes with the right quality, neither more nor less. Do not oversize the
packaging, because in addition to damaging the environment, it will also be less economical. Make the most of the box to suit your product.

Use the appropriate rigid box shape. There are many models and not all of them are
suitable for all products. There are special models for heavy, light,
elongated, wide products.

Tip:
Once you know what objects you will put in the box and the transport
conditions, look for an experienced professional to help you find the best
value for money.

The Inside Of The Boxes

Protect products individually to avoid bumps between them. Many times the reason for
breakage is due to contact between the packaged materials. Look for materials that cushion bumps and falls. Fragile objects, the further away from the edges of the boxes the better. Do not leave empty spaces.

Trick: Analyze well the products to send and all possible combinations. Optimize all
your shipments in a few sizes of boxes using cardboard interiors, box with
variable height, filling.

Close The Packing

Do not save the seal to close the flaps. Reinforce the edges if necessary. Put a
visible label with the data of the recipient and the sender.

Trick: To check the resistance of your packaging is to make a drop test. Throw away the packaging 5 times and it is done:

·         Flat on the background

·         Flat on top

·         Flat on the longest face

·         Flat on the smallest face

·         Flat on a vertex

At the end of all falls, no breakage of packaging, no tears or leaks of the material inside must be observed. Remember that the packaging can be a differentiating element regarding your competition, as well as being the first
physical impression your client has.

Another aspect that consumers value positively is that they are recyclable and
environmentally friendly custom boxes. People care about the environment and value, to
a large extent, if the company shares the same environmental concerns. This
value can be, in many cases, a compelling argument when repeating the purchase.
