New Year, New Packaging: Assess Your Needs and Discover Innovative Solutions

PackageIt Team • Dec 08, 2023

As we usher in the new year, it’s not just a time for personal resolutions. The beginning of the year is a golden opportunity for businesses to reassess strategies, innovate, and set new standards for success. 


Among the myriad facets of a company’s operations, packaging is a silent ambassador, speaking volumes about your brand identity and dedication to customer satisfaction. Whether you’re a budding solo e-commerce entrepreneur, a small business seeking expansion, or a mid-size manufacturer aiming for market dominance, you cannot overlook the significance of packaging.


At PackageIt, we want to help. We understand the importance of packaging and shipping and offer an array of solutions designed to cater to diverse business needs.



Outer Packaging: Boxes, Mailers, and Beyond

Packaging Boxes

When shipped, the outer packaging serves as your product’s initial introduction to its recipient — it’s that first impression that can set the tone for the entire customer experience. More practically, the outer packaging serves as the first layer of defense for your products during transit. The material you choose for your shipping material plays a crucial role in safeguarding your items and presenting your brand identity. There are a variety of aspects to consider:

  • Boxes: These are versatile containers available in various sizes and shapes, crafted from materials like cardboard, corrugated board, or other durable materials. Boxes provide structural integrity, protecting the product from impacts and compression during shipping.
  • Mailers and Envelopes: Often used for smaller items or documents, mailers and envelopes come in different forms, such as padded, bubble-lined, or rigid. They offer protection against scratches, while padded versions cushion items against minor impacts.
  • Tape and Sealing Solutions: Essential for securing the outer packaging, tapes like packing tape or reinforced filament tape ensure the box or mailer remains closed and intact during transit. Some businesses also opt for custom-printed tape to reinforce branding.
  • Labels and Shipping Documentation: These include shipping supplies like labels, handling instructions, barcodes, and any necessary documentation required for the package to reach its destination. They serve as vital communication tools between shippers, carriers, and recipients.
  • Protective Wrapping or Sleeves: For products requiring an additional layer of protection, outer packaging might incorporate wrapping or sleeves or even pallet protection and wrapping. These options include shrink-wrapped films, protective sleeves that guard against moisture, dust, or tampering, or banding or strapping.
  • Branding Elements:  Customizing any of the outer packaging with brand logos, colors, and messaging creates a memorable unboxing experience. Branding elements on the outer packaging reinforce brand identity and leave a lasting impression on customers.
