When it comes to the packing of products it is so important that they are packed correctly. This is so that they are adequately protected during transit and so that they look good to the consumer. Environmental issues will also play their part.
So, let us consider how the different types of wholesale packaging will serve the needs of those looking to pack their products safely, effectively, and beautifully.
Speed of Packing
Choosing the right packaging, such as products from Packaging Chimp, means that products within packaging can end up inside faster. This is so important to packing processes. The more that can be packed in the shortest time, the better. It will mean faster distribution and fewer staff to do it, depending on how much automation is involved.
Protection
The right packaging for a product will ensure its greater protection. It is lost money if stock is damaged because it has been put inside an unsuitable container. So, this all needs to be thought about by a wholesaler looking for packaging to suit their needs. If you are a wholesaler, protection is everything when it comes to reducing losses and breakages. This also has to be balanced with the environmental impact of the container too, of course. Environmentally friendly packaging may not be the strongest, securest solution but it is a balance to do our bit for the environment and the planet for our future relatives.
Beautiful Packing
Packing that makes a product look beautiful can require greater transparency. It can be pleasing to see the product through the packaging because it provides a nice look. Equally, consumers want to know just what it is that they are buying, and see-through packaging will be the answer to this.
Other features incorporated within the packaging, apart from see-through windows, can make products seem more luxurious. It is not always about simplicity keeping the costs down. Sometimes additions to packaging will make a product more appealing when it is displayed online or on a physical shelf inside a high street store.
Beauty products are examples of products with packaging that benefit from consideration being given to their aesthetics. The packaging will, in many cases, add value to a product because of its appearance rather than just being about housing and dispensing it. This dual role for packaging will then justify its expense in terms of making a product dearer to buy.
Size and Weight
An important consideration is to not make packaging larger than it needs to be to protect an item. Also, not to add extra weight to a product. This will keep delivery costs down when parcels are sent within a distribution network or to customers. We, of course, need to weigh these factors up against a container, for example, being strong enough to hold a product. The material will be all-important, but also something that may add extra weight or make it not so eco-friendly.
Labels
Labels are important in terms of packaging too, as they are used for identification and ensuring that, particularly with foodstuffs, allergy sufferers know just what ingredients they contain. Packaging is used for marketing purposes to identify products.
Cost
As with everything where profits will be made, the cost will be a factor. So, the packaging of products will need to be affordable so as not to add unnecessary wholesale or retail costs. If packaging makes the product unaffordable, then customers will simply not buy it. This is unless the high-end market is the intended market. So, it is almost the duty of all those in the product production process to keep their costs down. So, packaging needs to be of quality and purposeful but then balance beauty against affordability.
The cost of packaging, of course, reduces when greater quantities are ordered. So, this needs to be considered too when it comes to making a selling opportunity cost-effective for all.
In conclusion, there are numerous considerations made over packaging. They all contribute to the importance of choosing the right packaging ultimately. Getting the packaging right at the wholesale stage will have a knock-on effect when it comes to the final consumer being happy too.
