Supplies Can Be Economical

Packaging supplies can be an effective way to help your company save money. Everyone is trying to cut corners right now. Our nation is in an economic pinch that we’re all just waiting to end. Less people are spending their hard earned money which leads to less products being sold.

Packaging supplies can easily be a money saving area. First, do your research. There are several reputable companies that do a large enough volume that they are able to purchase supplies at a lower cost. A good company can turn around and give this savings to their customers.

You may want to reconsider the type of boxes you’re currently using. Do you really need the strength of the corrugated box? If your merchandise is not fragile, you could probably use a box of paperboard.

Some packaging materials help with the overall strength of the box as well, such as cardboard cutouts or foam that is customized for the fit of your product. Sometimes, you can seal the outside with shrink wrap to offer a little more protection.

One more thing to consider, do you really need a box? Would customized plastic container work, or even just shrink wrapping? Or you can have a box designed that also acts as a store display that can house many products in one box.

When it comes to the filler material, there are many options to choose from. They range from newsprint to bubble wrap, foam to peanuts. Many shipping companies are using fill bags. These are great for not taking up much storage area when not in use as well as giving you control of how much air goes into these individual bags.

With so many options available, it should be easy to save your company money with your packaging supplies.
