During the past decade or so, the uptake of business deliveries has been massive. As more and more industries run Just in Time delivery systems as well as more and more industries moving to Internet based business models, the delivery industry has exploded in size. This has had knock on effects for the packaging industry.

The amount of packaging now used is many times that of how much was used in the mid 90s. There has been a consistent growth year on year since the revolution of the Internet and even during this current recession, more and more buyers are abandoning the high street and looking for bargains online meaning packaging demand is higher still.

There are a huge amount of packaging companies available but the type of packaging you need really depends on what it is youre packaging. Many packaging companies will have a minimum order such as 50 of each box type, but if your are a smaller company then you will probably want to avoid these companies. It is of course, also important to keep packing expenditure to a minimum so that it only has a small affect on turnover.

Many companies offer a printing service on their boxes, i.e. they will print your company’s logo or name on the boxes to act a bit of extra advertising not only for your existing customers who will receive the box, but for anyone who comes into contact with it before hand or indeed afterwards and for the rest of that box’s life.

Factors that affect the cost of your packaging include what type of box you need i.e. single wall or double wall. Obviously the double walled are slightly more expensive, but are more appropriate for heavier items. You should also ensure that you have adequate packing inside the box to prevent damage during transit. Appropriate bubble wrap or loose fill will do the job nicely.
