Innovative Ways To Avoid Packaging Damage by Leroy Wasinger

The main aim of every #retailer and #manufacturer is to ensure that their products result in business growth and consumer satisfaction. It is a no-brainer that a damaged package can hurt your business reputation quite badly, and it can result in a negative impact on your bottom line. This impact can range from a loss of hundreds to millions of dollars, depending on the size and #production level of your business.

While packaging damage to a small extent is not a cause of concern, too much of this damage is a red flag and requires careful auditing to determine the reason and time. Contacting #packaging experts can help you determine why and when packaging damage occurs.

You can audit your product packaging as a preventative measure if you haven’t yet received complaints of damaged products and packages. According to some studies, companies tend to spend 80% of their time reacting and responding to #product damage reports rather than working on preventive measures. In this article, we will discuss top recommendations on how to prevent packaging damage.

Stocking the right SKUs

Before a product enters the packaging line, you have to make sure that you have the right packaging materials to welcome it. Stocking the right packaging and protective supplies allows you to ship your products safely to your customers. You will, however, have to see the availability of different materials and see if they are optimized for your #shipping needs. You will also have to see how often you run out of packaging #supplies.

Knowing the right way to pack

This step involves educating your packaging personnel with the proper packing instructions provided by a packaging expert. You will have to be particularly careful about this step if you have established a ship-from-store mechanism. Whether you have a distribution center or a retail store, teaching your packaging employees the right packaging method will help prevent product and package damage during transit.

Void-fill solutions

Protecting the products inside boxes is just as necessary as using a sturdy outer packaging container. It can be ensured with the help of protective packaging supplies. Options to consider in this regard may include bubble wrap, airbags, paper, and foam packaging. Because your product is different from others, you have to make sure that the protective packaging supplies you use fit your needs precisely.

Shrinkwrap

Securing your products for shipping can help prevent the risk of damage by 50%. You can shrink-wrap your products to provide them a secure, air-tight seal. The integrity of your product will also remain intact this way. You will also have to pay attention to using the right shrink wrap equipment.

Foam inserts

If your products are prone to damage due to vibration, you may need to use foam inserts to absorb the vibration impact. Remember, the ‘Fragile’ label on the box will not be of a significant benefit if you haven’t ensured product protection. These inserts work nicely when used with electronics or other fragile items. The best thing about foam inserts is that you can optimize them to form-fit around any product.

Custom Retail Packaging Guide by Brian Floyd

With more than one million retail #businesses out there, it should be no surprise that you are going to have to pay attention to custom retail packaging more than ever. More importantly, you will need to work on measures to differentiate your #brand from others.

With so many retail businesses out there, it could be easy to think that standing out is harder than ever. However, about 64% of consumers buy items off the shelf without having any past introduction to the brand. It means that if you want to make an impact, you do not have to be a top brand. You, however, need to work on retail packaging to make your product an attraction on the shelf.

In this article, we will discuss steps to construct an outstanding custom #retail #packaging.

Know the dimensions of your product

The most basic thing to consider first is the size of the box that you will need. For this purpose, you will need to measure the height, length, and width of your product. It is also necessary to take into consideration all other materials that will go into the box along with the product. These materials include protective packaging and inserts.

Be sure about what you want to show in the outside

You will need to decide whether your product has to sit on the shelf or reach the customer through the mail. It will help you determine what components should be visible immediately.

If your #product has to sit on the shelf in a #brick and mortar store, the customers won’t open the box until they purchase the product. So, you will need to give an introduction of your product and brand on the outer packaging regarding what is inside the box and what the customers should expect. It will be good to assume that your consumers know nothing about your product and brand.

You can add the following on the outer packaging.

•Information about your product and brand

•Instruction regarding the use of the product

•Your product’s photo

•Anything that your happy #customers have said

•A piece of humor

Pay attention to the inside of the box

If your product has to sit on the shelf, you will not need to pay much attention to the inside of the box. In the case of retail packaging, the inside of the box will become crucial because a good unboxing experience makes the customer happy. There are a lot of possibilities to make the inside of your product packaging attractive.

Adding patterns and designs that match your brand

Your brand is unique, and so are the designs and patterns that you use to represent your brand. Adding these elements on the outside of your product packaging makes your brand different from the others, allowing you to build your reputation in the crowd. Well-balanced design and pattern on the outside of the product packaging attract the eyeballs.

Prepare a 3D design of your product packaging

After you are sure about the looks of your product, prepare is 3D design to see what it will look like after you bring it to life. 3D software generally allows you to make changes in design, which means that you do not have to rebuild the 3D model of the packaging again and again.
