Advantages of using foilpacks in e-commerce.

Foil wraps are useful in the warehouse of any online shop that sells small, lightweight and unbreakable goods. What are their advantages and for which purchases can foil wraps be used? Why order courier foil wraps with your own imprint?

More and more online shops are using special foil envelopes to pack parcels. They have many advantages and are suitable for packing most small goods. The best solution is to order foil envelopes with an individual company print.

Foil wraps – what are they?

These are foil envelopes for shipping, made of very robust foil. They are completely opaque – white on the outside and black on the inside, so you cannot see the contents. They are therefore used for sending documents, but also many small and lightweight items.

Shipping foil wraps – advantages

First of all, the completely opaque foil allows the contents of the parcel to be hidden, which protects it from theft. Secondly, foil envelopes for shipping are made of a very strong and flexible foil, making them difficult for unwanted people to tear. They are also resistant to mechanical damage, so the parcel is well protected, and waterproof – the contents will not get wet or dirty. Finally, the glue used to close foil packs is strong and adheres well to the surface, so it is impossible to tear the envelope without visible marks. Foil packs are also resistant to chemicals and UV rays.

Foil envelopes – applications

Foil packs have a wide range of applications and are used in:

• cosmetics industry (online drugstores send cosmetics such as shampoos, conditioners, hair dyes, colour cosmetics, lotions, etc.)
• online clothing and shoe shops (they ship clothes such as blouses, trousers, shirts, dresses, blouses and accessories and underwear)
• online bookshops (for the shipping of books, newspapers, albums, etc.)
• health food shops (for packaging loose products placed in bags)
• toy shops (for packaging smaller toys).

They are suitable for shipping small items that are light and not too fragile. They can also be used as additional packaging protection – e.g. shoes are usually packed in the original box and an additional foil pack to protect them from the weather.

Printed courier foil packs

The best solution for online shops are foil packs with individual printing. They form part of the visual identity of the brand or company, referring to the company logo and graphics. In addition to the company name and logo, other data – e.g. website address, telephone number, return instructions – can be placed on the foil pack. A company-printed foil pack is an additional advertisement – for the recipient, the courier and other people who see the parcel. The imprint allows you to stand out from other foil envelopes, which are usually plain or carry the carrier’s logo. It is worth ordering such individual courier foil envelopes, especially as it is not a large expense.
