Over the last ten years or so, the delivery industry has grown massively in size. This is because more and more businesses are running just in time deliveries and many companies are now shifting a lot of their focus to online selling, delivery requirements have sky-rocketed all over the western world, and this has had a huge effect on 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.
Cardboard box providers can also print boxes to your specification so you can personalise your deliveries to improve your profile. This can be a good additional form of advertising not only for your existing customers, but for everyone that will come into contact with your packages whilst they are being delivered and indeed for the rest of the boxes life.
Factors that affect the cost of your packaging include what type of box you need i.e. single wall or double wall. Obviously the double walled are slightly more expensive, but are more appropriate for heavier items. You should also ensure that you have adequate packing inside the box to prevent damage during transit. Appropriate bubble wrap or loose fill will do the job nicely. - 29954
