PROTECTIVE PACKAGING: 4 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR SUCCESS

PROTECTIVE PACKAGING


Product packaging goes far beyond the use of tape and cardboard boxes. It involves the process of evaluating your product, audience, and shipping conditions to not only maximize protection and keep costs down but also to ensure sustainability and effective marketing.

Protective packaging plays a vital role in your business. By ensuring these three factors are covered, your customers receive a positive, stress-free experience that will encourage repeat business. So, to get a quick understanding of your existing solution, ask yourself these questions:

Is your current protective packaging solution not offering adequate protection? Are you getting a higher-than-expected damaged goods return rate? And would you like to improve your packaging solution for greater peace of mind during delivery?

If the answer to any of the questions above is yes, or even if you're not 100% sure, it's time to rethink your product's protective packaging.

With that said, read on and explore our four essential tips for a successful protective packaging solution.

Materials matter

Certain types of protective packaging are more durable than others, so it is essential to choose a durable material to withstand the product in question. For example, corrugated cardboard is ideal for heavier items (and various resistance levels depending on your need). Single or double-wall corrugation can be selected to meet your product protection needs.

For example, crush-resistant double-walled cartons are ideal for use in industries that manufacture and ship products requiring high protection. From auto parts to jewelry, home accessories, glassware and more, everyone will benefit from the added protection that double-walled cartons offer.

Think about sustainability

In today's world, consumers are trying to lead more environmentally friendly lifestyles. YouGov research involving 2,000 UK adults found that 52% agree to purchase based on a brand's green credentials, and 21% actively discontinue purchasing a brand or specific product due to environmental concerns.

If you don't build sustainability into your protective packaging, you'll be at an immediate disadvantage when attracting new customers.

Adopting such a solution does not mean sacrificing the strength and durability of your protective packaging.

Consider shipping costs

Regardless of what is being shipped, the size and weight of a package will play a significant role in shipping costs. Therefore, when selecting protective packaging products, you want a good balance of protection without taking up more space than necessary or adding excessive weight.

Custom foam or cardboard inserts are great options for adding protection while minimizing the size of your package. They fit snugly around your product to keep it secure without altering the height or width of the overall solution.

Test your protective packaging

Testing is extremely important when looking to maximize your investment in protective packaging. Not only can it help pinpoint issues with your existing solution, but it will also help finalize and tweak any issues when a new protection package is being worked on.

This can be done using transportation simulation test equipment, which considers real-world factors for a realistic view of your package's performance. If vulnerabilities are found, protection can be added/adjusted until the results are optimal.

You can also incorporate impact labels with your protective packaging solution. These offer a level of monitoring through the shipping process by highlighting jolts, bumps, and bumps through G-range increments. This allows you to collect data about the level of force your packages receive during transit, which could help adjust your package for a more appropriate level of protection in the future.
