Protect your products during delivery
One of the most important reasons to use good packaging is it protects what you’re sending. The right packaging will keep your items safe in transit.
If you use substandard packaging or don’t package up your items securely, you risk:
- Products arriving damaged
- Unhappy customers and bad reviews
- Having to send customers refunds or replacements
- Lost time and money
To help avoid these issues, make sure you:
- Use strong boxes or padded envelopes that suit the item you’re sending
- Add bubble wrap, foam or paper to stop it moving around
- Securely seal packages with quality tape
- Choose waterproof materials or covers if weather is a risk
If you’re sending something fragile like a mug, ornament or electronic device, wrap it tightly in padding. Put it in a sturdy box and add a ‘fragile’ label. Then shake the box before you seal it. If it moves, add more padding.
