We know you have manufactured an amazing product. Then why on earth to you skimp on the Custom Boxes? Do you think it is really all that fair? We know that you have to tell this to everyone too. But when you shell out massively on the packaging, this does sound a bit reasonable. Having said that, since you have to spend a little extra on the packaging in the beginning doesn’t mean you cannot save on it. There are plenty other ways of doing that.
When you hear us say that you have to spend slightly extra on the packaging up front might be a little confusing. Especially when your prime focus is saving money. However, keep in mind, down the line, you are definitely going to realize whatever you did was to save later on.
As surprising as this might seem to you, however from the looks of it, when you invest in something seemingly mundane as the customized packaging options will only help you in saving a little extra in the longer run. It may probably be because there are certain purposes these options have to fulfill. When the packaging is able to protect the products within, that needs to be the bare minimum. When you are not wasting anything at all and look pleasing at the same time, this is another key factor the packaging has to achieve.
But overall, investing a little extra in the beginning on your packaging should allow you to save later at the end of the road. With that, read on to know how:
We can see the e-Commerce taking a massive boom in the recent few years. Now everybody, even those in the shipping industry want to have a share in this pie. Well, there ain’t any surprise to it, huh?!? Where at one point we can see the shippers trying as much to load up their trucks, they are trying to leave not even a single bit of air. Now when you can see the strategy of shippers, in such instances it would never be wise for you to use oversized packaging boxes. Because if you do, you will end up paying a premium price. Therefore, even before you think of shipping out these products, it would be best that you understand how the shippers are calculating the price exactly.
For those businesses assuming the shipping cost might be an easy calculation for them, they need to slow down a bit. It isn’t like they are thinking at all. Today, the shipping companies use a rather Dimensional Weight (DIM) formula for the pricing factor. Those of you who do not know anything about this formula need to first read everything about it. Because this is exactly the way the cost of shipping is being calculated by the companies.
There are so many times when customers received products that were broken, damaged or entirely useless. Yet at the same time, these products were packed though, but with little to no care or thought at all. My guess? All who have ever received a broken item from a particular brand have never ordered from the same entity again. Yes, the thing that we are trying to highlight here is customers will easily choose another company over yours if you are not being careful with the packing of your products or the CBD Boxes themselves. And this particular factor brings us to yet another major reason for products being returned too.
Remember any product that ends up breaking will eventually cost the maker in numerous other ways. The return shipping cost is yet another price that is going to eat up all the profits.
Since you were so much caught up with prettying up your packaging boxes, you forgot completely about the packaging durability and product’s safety factor. Do not ignore this factor, for your own good.
We know that you wish to offer the products maximum protection. However, please don’t go overboard with those peanuts and air for cryin’ out loud. No consumer, and hear us load and clear as we say this, NO CUSTOMER is willing to purchase products that are packed in a ridiculously oversized packaging. Not only that, when the customers see the bunch of waste you have created and they are the ones that will have to get rid of it all, this is something that is a massive turndown for them. They are only going to get frustrated with your decisions and choices.
The customers are seriously not pleased when they see oversized boxes that are stuffed with fillers and waste. This isn’t something the customers will be impressed with. In fact, you are not realizing that you may be spending a little more on these fillers and massive sized boxes. But at the end of the say, these choices are embarrassing you in front of your customers. Moreover, these are the kind of choices that can ruin the customer’s unboxing experience completely. Imagine you becoming the laughing stock of the social media community all because of your packaging. Your ridiculous and laughable packaging boxes are making a nuisance of your image on renowned social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. This is the kind of bad impression you do not want to set for your company in the eyes of the world.
So where are we going to land with these mentioned factors? The first thing that you must avoid is getting a large box for tiny items of yours. This feature is going to benefit both the brand and product. You must design customized Cartridge Boxes that are a perfect fit for the items to be packed. Moreover, you can save in on the shipping cost too. At the same time, you won’t need to worry about sending these items safe and secure without placing any fillers or protective features within the boxes. Keep in mind, if your customers find a lot of fillers – which is more of a waste to them – they are going to be pretty annoyed to be honest. Because at the end of the day, the customers will have to dispose the waste that was created by you. The last thing, by doing so, you are saving your reputation and image because the customers cannot get a lot of reasons to make fun of these options.
Having said that, there are numerous businesses that have now taken a shine to these customized options because they know this is probably the best thing for their growth. It is pretty much all right if you pay a little more attention and cost to your packaging than usual in the beginning. But at the end of the day, you will see that you are saving more than you expected.
