E-commerce packaging
The meteoric rise of e-commerce has been accompanied by new demands on the packaging industry and its supply chain partners. Compared to traditional retail channels, the pack is handled far more times, particularly as it sometimes passes through numerous fulfillment providers.
This means that e-commerce packaging is going to be the single biggest change in the corrugated market since shelf-ready packaging was introduced 10-15 years ago.
The corrugated industry has responded with two very different approaches to e-commerce packaging. Some companies sell stock lines direct to the consumer (non- branded plain boxes), which leads to unnecessary void fill being required as the box is not size-specific to the product that needs to be protected to get to the end user undamaged.
Branded E-commerce Packaging
Corrugated packaging experts like Clifford Packaging on the other hand, supply bespoke e-commerce corrugated packaging that can be branded to e-tailers and brands in sectors such as Fashion & Cosmetics. This is becoming increasingly important in sectors where e-tailers need to create an additional wow factor that delivers an improved customer experience and stands out from the ubiquitous brown Amazon packaging, which is now very much a commodity item.
