If you want to pack your parcels faster and more efficiently this year, we’ll tell you which products are guaranteed to help. In the dizzying world of e-commerce, where a click of the mouse can trigger an avalanche of orders and every pixel on the screen can be transformed into a product waiting to be shipped, packing goods is both an art and a science.
As we approach the busiest time of the year for e-tailers, it’s fitting to turn our attention to one of the most underrated yet essential parts of the process – packaging materials. Paper boxes, stretch and bubble wrap – these are the heroes of logistics, taking on the role of silent protectors of your products. Make the most of their potential.
Automatic bottom-folded boxes
Imagine standing in the middle of a warehouse, surrounded by a mountain of products waiting to be packed and sent to their new owners. With each passing minute, the pile grows larger and you know that every moment spent folding the box is a moment lost.
That’s where they come in paper boxes with automatic bottom – just a slight pressure and voilà, the box is ready to be filled. No more taping, no more lengthy folding. Your shipments are already faster and your customers happier.
What if the standard sizes just don’t fit?
In that case, bet on customised cardboard boxesthat are designed to fit your products perfectly. They minimise unnecessary bulk and weight, saving you on shipping costs. So, forget about the unnecessary time you spend adjusting the size of cardboard boxes, as well as the extra batches of filler material. Customized = efficient.
Protect the contents of your shipments with air
The invention of bubble wrap has made it possible to pack large quantities of products in a short space of time with maximum safety in transit. The so-called bubble wrap perfectly absorbs shocks and impacts and protects the surface of the goods from scratches.
- Small goods such as electronics, jewellery or cosmetics can be quickly inserted into the bubble bag.
- Larger products are then wrapped with the corresponding size of bubble wrap from the roll.
You can take advantage of the safety services of air hidden in bubbles of various sizes. And if you still have some space left in your box, the fastest and most economical way to fill it is with the help of lightweight air cushions, which consist of 99% air.
Final protection in the form of stretch film
Stretch film adapts to any shape and size of shipment or goods stacked on a pallet at lightning speed. It protects against moisture, dust and dirt. It is like an invisible shield that holds your products together and protects them from the rigours of demanding logistics processes. You can use different types and sizes of stretch wrap – speed up your work with a manual unwrapper or wrapping machine.
So how do you prepare for the busiest time?
Invest in functional and effective packaging materials. Use auto-bottom boxes for speed, bubble wrap for protection and stretch film for security. In short, learn to pack quickly, efficiently and economically so your products reach your customers on time and in the best shape possible!
