The Economics of packaging

It is a famous saying that prevention is always better than a cure. This saying should be implemented in every aspect of life, even though it costs too much in your task, but it will benefit you in the long run by saving you time and money. The implementation of the formula is necessary for you in the packaging of goods that are purchased online. If damaged or poorly packaged goods are delivered to your customers, it will reflect a bad image for your business and reputation. It will lead to a decrease in sales and damage the reputation of the brand.

Moreover, the outward movement of goods is just necessary; there may be more chances of returning goods to you. The safe and sound return of goods is also necessary for the brand. The images of companies are judged by the customer experience.

According to the estimates of the Reverse Logistics Association, one in every 14 packaged products suffers damage during the online purchase. These damages are mostly transit damages, and their rate can be higher in some cases. According to the Citizens' Advice Bureau survey, 10 reports of damaged products have been received from over 2000 online shopping purchases. This figure is enormously high and needs to be fixed urgently by electronic manufacturers or e-giants.

Over the Top

Some manufacturers wrongly assume that the transit damage is part of the cost price of the product or doing business. If manufacturers put in enough effort to find out and identify the cost incurred on the damaged goods, and take immediate steps to correct the errors, then a handsome amount will be repaid to your company by reducing the costs, improving the bottom line, and satisfying the customers.

The important point is that the traditional packaging is not suitable for that online packaging target. Moreover, the traditional packaging is harmful to the environment. On the contrary, governments across the world are taking measures against plastic waste, which is creating pressure on the packaging industries. The smart and modern idea of fixing all these issues lies in introducing recyclable materials in packaging solutions. The reuse of material will help out the cost by lessening the packing times and reducing the demand for expensive storage plants.

The solution lies in the Bag.

The solution lies in the reduction of packaging material consumed in the packaging process. Use one component in packaging to make the packaging sustainable. If you use one component instead of using multiple components, such as laminations, bubble wraps, etc., using cardboard boxes will increase productivity. The one component you are going to use (exempting other components) should be made durable and strong enough to complement the needs of other components in the packaging. The material should be recyclable and biodegradable. It should be done in a way to attain efficiency in the packaging solution. In the end, try to make sure the same component of packaging becomes the delivery process for return, so that it is possible for customers to reuse it and reduce the cost and waste.
