How to choose packing material
Shipping glassware is going to warrant better quality packaging material than shipping a stuffed toy. So it’s worth analysing your product catalogue to determine the range of packaging materials you need to have available as well as keeping a record of items damaged during delivery.
Understanding your audience is useful to keep in mind when choosing packaging and style, bearing in mind that some customers appreciate eco-friendly packaging. It’s also worth noting the practicality of packaging, as needlessly causing a customer difficulty accessing their product can be frustrating, and could cause them to think twice when buying from you again.
