Since COVID it is pretty clear for all to see that on-line sales, across all industries, have skyrocketed. So how can packaging companies assist you in improving as well as reinforcing your brand awareness, whilst also providing the necessary packaging and protection that boxing, taping, padding, strapping and bundling provides. Let’s consider the opportunities that are available to you:

Custom Printed Boxes – Cardboard cartons and boxes are functional of course as they enable you to put your items together in a neat package that makes it easy to store or ship your items. But they can be further functionalised by being both custom sized, as well as custom printed with your logo thereby improving and reinforcing brand awareness or putting your company message on them.

Custom Printed Tape – tape is also functional as it will seal closed your box, or assist in keeping items together, but why not put your logo on it, or a message that suits your brand. This can be done on a range of widths with up to 3 colours used. It can be applied like a banner across your packages as well as tape across your boxes.

Clear Circle Labels – You may use these as a security label or just a closing tab on your items, but these can be custom printed too.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging – reinforcing your commitment to the environment
There is a wide range of environmentally friendly options that are available to you that, even without printing – can reinforce your brands commitment to the environment. So here’s a few to consider:

• Cardboard boxes (can be custom printed)
• Armour padded mailer bags - are made from up to 15% recycled content.
• Brown Kraft Paper rolls – you can wrap your goods in paper as an alternative
• Cardboard mailing tubes – 100% recycled cardboard
• Cardboard perforating machines – recycle your cardboard cartons and turn it into protective packaging that can be used as an alternative to plastic bubble wrap
• TempGuard – fully recyclable thermal insulation packaging to easily transport heat sensitive items such as frozen food.
• Recycled Brown Kraft Paper bags with handles – can also be custom printed.
• Honeycomb Kraft Paper Rolls - an attractive protective packaging paper that expands around shaped items

So next time you look at what you use to package items, maybe look a little harder at how you can do what you’re already doing, but do it better.
