Do you have a wish that your products be shipped to your buyer in spotless condition, without any damage or scratch?

It is possible now. However, in the past, it was not feasible because there were no proper packaging boxes to send items to the customers. Thus, when the manufactures sent the products to their customers, they got the boxes with many dents and blots.

Now it is practicable to ship your product to the customer in mailer boxes without having any spot and bent over the box. Your customer will receive the package in a clean and spick condition. Moreover, the product will remain safe and unhurt in the box.

The question arises now, what is the method or procedure by which product reaches the customer in its real and harmless shape? The following are the steps that you have to follow while packing your items in mailer boxes if you want to transport your product and its box seamlessly.

Let’s jump to the steps that you are to follow. Here you go!

1.      Confident Selection of the Material of the Package!

The material plays a vital and significant role in keeping your product safe so that it can reach the customer in its real shape. Therefore, while investing in the high quality of the material of your box, you should not feel shy because it is a matter of trust.

If your customer finds his ordered product in a protected condition, it will increase his trust in you. Eventually, it will be a fruitful step for the progress of your brand. Hence, invest in the material of the box heartily and intelligently.

A lot of packaging companies provide you with abundant mailing box materials. These materials are manufactured specifically to be used as shipping boxes. For instance, corrugated is at the top of the list.

This material has three layers, two outer layers and a middle one. The middle one is designed in the zigzag form to bear the strokes and jerks strongly, whereas the outer ones protect the inner layer.

Moreover, this corrugated material is available in versatile thicknesses. You can select according to the shipping process. Its thickness is gauged in flutes. Among those flutes, B flute is considered to be reasonably hard and stalwart to keep the product safe.

Hence, select the material wisely to make your business flourished.

2.      Measure Your Product Then Measure Your Mailer Box!

It is believed that when you are going to ship any product, use large and strong boxes. But it is an improper notion. Because whether you have filled that space with inserts or peanuts, it will disturb the product inside. The product will dwindle in the box and can be harmful during the journey. Further, it also cost you high rates as shipping companies charge massive rates for huge boxes.

Hence, it is highly essential to select the box according to the size of the product. However, there should be maximum space you can spare in the box is 2 inches, not more or less than this. It makes the product to be fitted snugly in the box.

That specific two-inched space can be filled with bubbles and peanuts. This little room will allow the product to breathe and bear the outer jerks and strokes.

Thus, measure your product carefully, and select the mailing box packaging according to it. You are to measure the product from three angles; its width, depth, and length, then you will be able to ask for an exact mailing box for your item.

Eventually, the precise and accurate packaging of the product will allow your customers to have a brilliant and customer friendly unboxing experience.  

3.      Smart Usage of Guarding Inserts

The usage of that extra space in the box should be smart. You can add different inserts in that spare space. However, it depends on which type of your product is, the compatible insert will be used.

There are a lot of padding materials and methods you can utilize to fulfil that space. The primary purpose of using these pads is to keep your product at one place in the box, so it cannot be circulated in it.

Hence, when you add your product in the box, add some cushioning material to comfort your item. You can use peanuts, pads, crunched cardboard papers and many other materials too. Here it would help if you kept in mind that your box must bulge or bubble up; otherwise, it will not be closed. So, add these inserts carefully.

4.      Bubble Wraps can Save Your Product

If you are shipping extraordinarily fragile and delicate items, you should cover them with bubble wraps. These wraps will enhance the ability of the product to bear the strokes more strongly. Moreover, after wrapping the product put in the box laden with peanuts and packaging.

Along with that, use little layers of packaging tape to make it sure that the box is packed perfectly. But do not use it excessively or laden your box with it as it will make the unboxing experience tasteless and dull.

Ultimately, all these measures keep your product safe. However, there are chances that your box would get a bump or smudge, yet your product will remain protected during the journey.

5.      Print Different Types of Warnings can Prevent Your Box from Harms of the Journey!

Mostly, the shipping boxes have printed on them these words and phrases; “Fragile” or “Handle” it with care. This mentioning the waring can save your product boxes from the harms of the shipping journey. Because when the boxes are shipped, the workers can look at this warning and handle the box with extra care. Resultantly, the package remains unharmed. So, try this and feel the difference.

Try the above safety measures to ship your precious products securely. However, the risks remain always there, yet you should do your best to provide your customers with the best boxing experience.
