During the past decade or so, the uptake of business deliveries has been massive. As more and more industries run Just in Time delivery systems as well as more and more industries moving to Internet based business models, the delivery industry has exploded in size. This has had knock on effects for the packaging industry.
The volume of packaging now used is many times that of the early to mid 90s. Not only have we seen growth year on year, but even during the current recession, as more and more shoppers desert the high street looking for bargains online, packaging use is increasing even faster.
There are a huge amount of packaging companies available but the type of packaging you need really depends on what it is youre packaging. Many packaging companies will have a minimum order such as 50 of each box type, but if your are a smaller company then you will probably want to avoid these companies. It is of course, also important to keep packing expenditure to a minimum so that it only has a small affect on turnover.
Many companies offer a printing service on their boxes, i.e. they will print your company’s logo or name on the boxes to act a bit of extra advertising not only for your existing customers who will receive the box, but for anyone who comes into contact with it before hand or indeed afterwards and for the rest of that box’s life.
Whether you need single wall or double wall will affect the cost of your boxes, single wall are obviously cheaper than the equivalent twin walled box. You will also need to make sure that you use a suitable packing material in you box to protect your goods from damage. A good bubble wrap or loose fill will help you to avoid unnecessary breakages.
