The Increase Of Packaging Demand

During these last ten years, more and more businesses are focusing on the order and delivery side of business. This is mainly because of how far the Internet has advanced as a commerce tool. As a result of this the delivery and packaging industries are booming like never before.

Not only has the demand for packaging increased year on year since the early to mid 90s, but during the current recession people are less keen to shop on the high street and have begun looking for bargains online, meaning that the demand for packaging is still increasing.

There are many suppliers available, but it does depend upon what you intend to transport as to what you best packaging solution will be. Some suppliers will not insist on minimum order values, while others will need you to order 50 or 100 of each box type as a minimum. If you are a smaller business, delivering a variety of products in small volumes then you will prefer to use a supplier that doesn’t limit your minimum order size. It is of course important to minimise your outlay on packaging as it will all reflect in your bottom line.

Many companies will print your company’s name or logo on the box at your request. This can be an easy way of getting some cheap additional advertising to not only the recipient of the box, but also whomever the box comes into contact with for the rest of its 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.
