Are you a complete novice when it comes to packaging? Here are four basic steps to help you get started with packing your eCommerce merchandise.
eCommerce has increased the amount of firms selling online and customers buying online in today's digital environment. Packaging is much more than just getting your product from point A to point B. Packaging has now become the only physical medium for marketers to communicate with their customers.
We'll go over some best practices for packaging your eCommerce products and making a strong first impression with your customers.
Step 1: Get Motivated
Working with a blank canvas might be difficult at times. Examine the packaging of some of your favorite companies to identify which elements appeal to you. Keep these things in mind for your packaging, whether it's the design or the product positioning. You can also obtain more ideas by looking at companies that sell comparable products to yours. Use some of these samples as a starting point for your packaging and come up with something unique to your company.
Google Images is a great place to obtain ideas and view examples. You can also get some extra ideas from our packaging showcase page.
Step 2: Choose your packing style (s)
Concentrate on the type of packaging you want for your eCommerce products.
1 - Your products' external packaging
For eCommerce shipping and subscription box products, corrugated mailer boxes are ideal. For example, if you sell a set of beauty goods and want to put them all together in one box, mailer boxes are ideal since they allow you to all in one box. Mailer boxes open similarly to pizza boxes and give the sturdiness and strength needed to prevent your box from being crushed during delivery.
