Once your business has designed a product, produced that product, marketed or advertised and then finally sold it, it will finally be time to ship that product to your customer, but how many businesses out there truly give much consideration to how that product they’ve worked so hard on and the box it is packaged in is being handled after it leaves their business to go off to the customer? Owing to the huge distances products can travel in this day and age, and the many processes it undergoes to get across those distances, there is a high likelihood that this product is tossed, turned, and roughly handled in a range of different ways. How confident could your business be that your product can withstand all of that handling and more? If your product and its packaging not packaged correctly, the product might not be able to withstand the trip, which can potentially mean a broken or damaged product arriving on your customer’s doorstep, which can quickly create an unhappy customer and a bad experience with your business. The best way to ensure your products are kept protected and safe from harm is to use packaging and cardboard shipping boxes that are custom designed and made specifically for your products to ensure their safety no matter how arduous the journey to get them to your customer’s destination.
Land, Air & Sea – Your Box Might See It All!
Has your business considered exactly how many modes of transportation your product might be required go through? Depending on how far it is traveling and where your customers are based, your products could see transport ranging from trucks, planes, ships or train, and in many cases it could see a combination of these or even all of the above! This can often mean that your product is experiencing harsh vibrations, jostling, change in weather, a range of speeds, varying elevations, and a huge range of temperatures. This is all in addition to the physical handling your product and its box will go through including from people moving it around between transport companies, customs, warehousing, delivery services or even machinery, such as a crane, forklift or pallet jack moving it. The end result is that your products are potentially going to be subjected to many different things that are out of your control and if they are not adequately protected with the correct type of box or packaging, they could very easily get damaged or destroyed.
