Length = the longest opening dimension Width = the shorted opening dimension Height = the dimension from the top of the opening to the base of the box (sometimes referred to as depth). We always recommend measuring corrugated boxes in inches. For example: 12” x 10” x 8”.   The cardboard boxes you choose should accommodate the range of product you stock – from the smallest item to the largest – as well as any protective packaging (e.g. bubble wrap or paper cushioning) you’ll need for shipping.

The kind of ecommerce packaging you need to choose will largely depend on your product or industry. If you’re shipping something fragile, you’ll need packing materials that cushion it to prevent damage. However, if you’re retailing items less prone to damage, like soft furnishing or clothes, you can use packaging that’s less-heavy duty. We recommend that your ecommerce packaging should aim to be: -Durable enough to protect your products. -Easy to open. -Light and space efficient. -The right size – with no excessive material. -Easy to return. -Sustainable and recyclable. -An extension of your brand. -Sealed and secure.

Mega brands provide their consumers with the ultimate un-boxing experience, thanks to their packaging. Product packaging is always on brand, helping consumers to identify it easily. Layers of packaging, whether void fillers like tissue paper, or soft dust bags for shoes or sunglasses, suggest a luxury product. Combined, premium packaging leaves consumers feeling like they have something special as they un-box a product. Un-boxing is the first physical touchpoint between your business and your customer. A 1992 study found that the quality and decoration of the packaging influences how consumers evaluate the quality and value of the product. The un-boxing experience is as significant as the product itself. A good experience can promote customer loyalty and retention, as well as satisfaction. And with the trend for unboxing videos via social media, it pays to get it right. But remember that the protection and preservation of your product are as important as its presentation. Secure pack
