Packaging for clothing and textiles

How do you best send clothes from your online store? What is a smart and practical packaging for textiles? And what should you think about if you need to send clothes or other textiles? We’ll tell you a bit about that in this blog post.

Choosing material and quality

The first thing you should do is assess what quality, look and material you want on the packaging. The packaging should match your product, and you should think about how the packaging will appear to the customer.

• Should it be environmentally friendly?
• Should it be easy to pack?
• Should it be possible to return the goods?
• Should it be easy to carry?
• Should it have a special look? ..

… Think from the customer’s point of view, and think about what makes sense for your business and your product.

Packaging for clothing and textiles

E-commerce bags:

The cheapest and simplest way to package clothes is in what we call e-commerce bags or shipping bags. E-commerce bags come in many varieties; plastic, paper, with/without handles, with/without returnability, eco-friendly and many more.

E-commerce bags are a popular and practical choice for packaging clothes. The bags are strong, crush and tear resistant, and the plastic ones are also repellent – making them perfect for goods that don’t get damaged, like clothes, shoes and other textiles. E-commerce bags also generally take up less space, they’re easy to carry and you also save on volumetric weight and space in your packing area. Read more about volumetric weight in this blog post.

So assess the features and what’s important for your business’s customer relationship – for example, do you want e-commerce bags with your business’s logo?

The slightly more exclusive way to pack clothes can be in a flat mail bag with tissue paper around, like these:

Printed packaging:

Creating customer loyalty without personal contact is not always so easy. In retail, sellers can build a relationship with the customer through competent advice, a good experience when the customer tries on clothes and through a friendly manner. Online retailers need to be able to accept returns and create a customer experience through the delivery and packaging. Printed packaging or just packaging of particularly good quality, will be a parameter you need to evaluate as part of customer service.

Printed packaging adds cost and requires a slightly larger print run – but it attracts attention and contributes to brand building and a better customer experience, i.e. the ‘unboxing’ experience.

Accessories:

To give an even better impression, consider whether you want an extra wrapping or protection inside the e-commerce bag. Here, tissue paper can be a good alternative. Tissue paper helps to make your package a bit more exclusive and give a feeling of finish. RAJA’s tissue paper is chlorine and acid free and most importantly, it is an environmentally friendly alternative.

Wrap up your products, give them a nice label and possibly a little greeting in the package in the form of a card – then you’ve easily and quickly created a good unboxing experience.

Another accessory can be a durable bag like this. At RAJA, bags are available in 75% recycled material. These durable bags can protect textiles or help create a nice finish with a nice label or ribbon around it.
