FAQs

What is eCommerce packaging?

eCommerce packaging is any box, bag, or other packaging used to deliver goods that consumers have ordered online. The most common types of eCommerce packaging are corrugated boxes and poly bags.

Should my business use custom eCommerce packaging?

Using “off-the-shelf” eCommerce packaging is possible, but this is a missed opportunity. Custom eCommerce boxes provide improved protection in transit, minimise costs by using less material and void fill, offer a vital branding opportunity, and even provide the wow factor for your customers.

Is eCommerce packaging environmentally friendly?

Any eCommerce packaging manufactured from corrugated cardboard is fully recyclable and biodegradable. This recyclability is a huge positive for an increasing number of consumers who care about the environment. From a more practical view, it also allows your customers to recycle the packaging easily in standard kerbside recycling schemes.

Can eCommerce packaging be printed?

Your eCommerce packaging can (and really should) feature print. Print options range from simple, one-colour logos to full photographic quality images. Printing your eCommerce boxes allows you to incorporate branding, handling instructions, and even product care or returns information.

What is unboxing?

Unboxing is the experience your packaging provides when your customer opens the box upon delivery. Many individuals now take to social media, TikTok, and YouTube to document this, which can greatly impress potential consumers and drive loyalty.
