Notre vision de l'emballage a commencé à changer... En plus de devoir emballer et protéger, un emballage est aussi devenu un moyen de communication. Il va de soi qu’il y a de plus en plus de demande pour des caisses et sacs personnalisés. De plus, c’est un vrai de défi gérer les frais au niveau logistique. Une socié

Top five e-commerce packaging

Due to the strong growth in the e-commerce sector, we have seen new challenges emerge. In terms of logistics and the packaging process, you always have to ensure that your products are well protected and arrive at their destination in the shortest possible time. At the Webwinkel Vakdagen, you will be able to get acquainted with some very specific e-commerce packaging :

► 1.Food and beverage

We live in a world in which any product can be ordered online - and this also applies to food and drink products. For the shipment of such products, it is advisable

to

use insulated bags or crates. This way, your perishable products are perfectly protected from temperature fluctuations. If you are an online shop that is active in the wine sector, it is best to send your bottles in a suitable wine crate.

► 2. Books and electronics

You can easily send a book

the right

way with the right packaging. Without the need for any unnecessary cushioning, our packaging will close around your book perfectly and protect it from shocks. This protection is also useful and necessary when sending electronic items. With the right packaging, your e-readers, tablets, smartphones, etc. will reach their final destination safely.

► 3. Clothing

Every consumer likes to have the freedom to test a product and send it back afterwards.This applies especially to online shops that sell clothing.If a piece doesn't fit, you want to be able to send it back easily, right? A crate with a ' round trip ' closure is a good solution in this case.These crates have two adhesive closures: one with which your shopkeeper closes the crate, and a second with which your customer can close the crate again and send it back.This means that your customer doesn't have to waste time looking for a new crate, and you can be sure that your products arrive at your door packed in a suitable crate.

► 4. Variable height packaging

This type of crate fits perfectly to the size of your product. A variable height crate has two major advantages. Firstly, you need to have fewer crates in stock and therefore less space in your warehouse. Secondly, because your crate fits in height, it needs to be filled with less cushioning material. This saves you a lot of money on the purchase of cushioning material. This is good for your wallet, but it's also good for the environment, as less cushioning material means a smaller environmental footprint.

A fifth solution that will save you a lot of time is the use of an automatic bottom box. It forms automatically via a simple press on the sides. This saves you valuable time at your packing station. Our packing experts did the test themselves in the video below. Within seconds, the box was upright and ready to be sent!
