Stuffing for your Boxes

If you are getting into the new trend of the major trend of 2020 and working on selling online then this article is for you.  There are so many reasons why eCommerce is booming and a big part of that is the regulations being put in place by the COVID-19 Pandemic.  It is pretty simple that people who find it hard to be outside or are annoyed with the regulations simply want to shop from home.  This has left so many companies selling online instead of at their storefronts.  So the times are changing and with that, there are some lessons being learned about shipping supplies and the items that are used to get those packages to their customers.  And today I want to go over a few different things that people are using and why they may be using them to get products safely to the purchasers.

 


The fact is that if you are using a box or a bag to ship an item then it has to go through a service to get to the purchaser.  That means that the item inside that box or bag needs to be safe in transit and this is a big deal.  The cost of actually having a damaged item and shipping it back and a new one out can take out all the profit from the wholesale. This costs a ton of money for companies and it also costs a whole lot of goodwill as well.  No one enjoys getting a bad item in the mail because they have to go through the hassle of returning it.  This leads to questions of how good your customer service team is.  If you have great customer service then you will pay for a call tag and replacement.  This is really expensive and what if it all happens again.  But there is a solution to attempt to avoid the whole situation. 

 


If you are able to fill your boxes and bags with really good insulation and padding then you can avoid this whole issue.  I like to think that the filling of the packages is just as important as the box or bag itself.  The way items are shipped can be the difference between Christmas bonuses or pink slips.  It sounds dramatic but the money over the long run simply shows and does make a large impact.  That is why I love the fact that there are so many good shipping supplies stores that sell incredible products to fill your shipping packages.

I like the idea of using newsprint sheets.  These are basically just paper sheets that you can roll up or fold over any object.  It not only helps to provide padding but also to give a nice old-time look that many people enjoy.  I like to think of it as when you buy glass from a nice shop and they wrap it in newspaper.  Well, this is the next classy step up from that and it really does resonate with people in that way.

 


Another great option is to get bubble wrap.  This is the fun plastic wrapping that we all enjoy popping when packages come in.  The best part of this is the cheap and lightweight protection it provides.  It is not as flexible as newsprint sheets, but it provides more padding for impacts.  It is also very lightweight because it fills space with aid voids and that really ads up.
