When your customer first lays eyes on the box you\u2019ve sent to them, you have an opportunity to trigger an emotional reaction. Play your cards right, and you can delight your customer, reinforce your message, and build brand affinity. Alternatively, if your packaging supplies and boxes aren&#8217;t up to scratch, your customer may feel frustrated, underwhelmed, and less likely to order from you again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, it\u2019s simply not enough to just deliver a package safely. Of course, this is of paramount importance, but it\u2019s really the bare minimum and now expected. What\u2019s needed today is customization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 2021 fiscal year, FedEx Express delivered an amazing<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/878354\/fedex-express-total-average-daily-packages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.6 million packages each day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You may be an online shopper yourself. Just think back to the amount of packages you\u2019ve ordered over the last few months. Chances are, the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/ecommerce-packaging\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce packages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that stood out from the crowd are the ones that were customized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because a premium look and feel, plus clever branding, has the power to build relationships between e-commerce brands and their customers. In the absence of physical stores and face-to-face customer service, your <\/span><b>shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are more than just a safety measure; they\u2019re a creative medium that can be harnessed for communications and marketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still not convinced? Think about the growing number of unboxing videos and posts on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Then there\u2019s the research by experts, which shows just how much consumers value thoughtful, customized packaging:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">72% of American consumers say their purchasing decision is influenced by the packaging design.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipsos.com\/en-us\/news-polls\/Most-Americans-Say-That-the-Design-of-a-Products-Packaging-Often-Influences-Their-Purchase-Decisions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Ipsos)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">61% say they are much more likely to repeat a purchase of a luxury product if it came in premium packaging.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepackagingcompany.us\/knowledge-sharing\/unboxing-experience-will-make-break-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Dotcom Distribution)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">40% of consumers will share an image of your packaging on social media if it was unique or branded.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepackagingcompany.us\/knowledge-sharing\/unboxing-experience-will-make-break-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Dotcom Distribution)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Unboxing the Magic of Packaging with Custom Shipping Boxes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2226\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Unboxing-the-Magic-of-Packaging-with-Custom-Shipping-Boxes.jpg\" alt=\"Unboxing the Magic of Packaging with Custom Shipping Boxes\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading e-commerce players are those who understand the magic of an end-to-end customer experience.

Factors like product quality, competitive prices, fast checkout and shipping, and a good online customer service team play an important role, but the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/unboxing-experience\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unboxing experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also crucial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, a wondrous unboxing experience can be the difference between a one-off customer and a loyal brand advocate. While it\u2019s tempting to keep costs as low as possible and go for the cheapest packaging options from a financial perspective, this doesn\u2019t bode well with consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gfk.com\/products\/gfk-consumer-life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GfK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, consumers value brands with a premium look and feel.

A plain cardboard box can look cheap and thoughtless, which is the opposite of the premium quality that today\u2019s consumers crave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div

There are other options, too, like the mailing envelope.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mailers are a good choice for lightweight, robust items like clothing or jewelry that is already packaged in a gift box. You don\u2019t need to pick between mailing envelopes and <\/span><b>shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, though. Depending on the products you offer, you may choose to use a mailing envelope for smaller items and a shipping box for larger ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you understand the pros and cons of each shipping container, we\u2019ve created a handy table below that gets into the details.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Mailing Envelopes vs Shipping Boxes<\/b><\/h4>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td><b>Mailing Envelopes\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Shipping Boxes\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Advantages<\/b><\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mailers are less expensive to ship than boxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They take up less space, meaning storage costs are lower.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mailing envelopes have a peel-and-seal structure, which means you need to spend less money on additional tape to keep products safe.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardboard shipping boxes are robust and sturdy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re perfect for transporting heavy and\/or delicate items, especially when used in conjunction with water-activated tape.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boxes tend to be more sustainable because they are recyclable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They come in many different shapes and sizes, giving you a wealth of options for your products.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Disadvantages\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although they\u2019re padded, envelopes are more likely to be crushed during the mailing process.

Now, it\u2019s time to think about the type of box to go for. Generally speaking, there are six main kinds of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom shipping boxes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, designed to accommodate different products. Take a look at the main types below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Regular Slotted Container: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of regular slotted containers as the traditional, common box. It\u2019s likely that most of the packages you receive come in these types of boxes. This is because regular slotted containers are versatile, reliable, and come in a wide variety of sizes, making them ideal for a range of products. Regular slotted containers have a simple design, making them easy to manufacture with little waste.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Full Overlap Container:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A full overlap container is like the sister of the regular slotted container. The one main difference is that the flaps in a full overlap container overlap one another to completely cover the box\u2019s width. This gives the box another layer of thickness, which provides more padding and safety. For products that are more fragile, the full overlap container is a great option. Again, it comes in many sizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Full Telescope Containers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full telescope containers are an unusual shape. They\u2019re usually the length of a telescope, which is where they get their name from. They\u2019re made from two slotted regular banks that are placed together. This gives the box layered edges, making them sturdy and strong. The long, rectangular shape of full telescope containers makes them perfect for products like magazines, newspapers, and even artwork. The shape of these types of containers could be instrumental in making a brand statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wraparound Blank: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wraparound blank is pretty much like a regular slotted container box but switched sideways. These custom boxes are usually used for rigid products that will fit snugly within the wraparound blank, making for a tight, protective fit. Wraparound blanks are typically packaged using a robotic machine, which is great from an efficiency and productivity standpoint. Usually, these <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/food-beverage-boxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used for perishable products like food and wine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as home and personal care items.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>One-Piece Folder Box: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one-piece folder box is for items that are slim and shallow. This box uses one piece of cardboard, creating a smooth bottom. The flaps of this piece of the cardboard are used to create the top of the box, and also broken up into side flaps. One-piece folder boxes are easy to assemble, making them convenient for small businesses to use and store. They\u2019re often used for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/book-boxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shipping books<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, magazines, artworks, or picture frames.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Five-Panel Folders: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five-panel folder boxes are made from corrugated box material. They are created using a single piece of cardboard that is divided into panels. The fifth of these panels is used as the closing flap, which functions to seal the box. Usually, these boxes are used to ship long, slim items like metal rails. Because of their unusual shape, they\u2019re less likely to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/retail-boxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used for e-commerce products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know the kinds of boxes out there, the next question is: How do you create an amazing custom shipping box strategy at the right price? Here are five things you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1.

Plus, it\u2019s well-known that online shoppers hate waste. In fact,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/blakemorgan\/2021\/04\/19\/customers-hate-plastic-packaging-so-why-do-companies-keep-using-it\/?sh=6e6fa021192c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">88% of U.S. and U.K. consumers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> want brands to be environmentally friendly and use sustainable materials. So if your box is too big and overfilled with non-recyclable filling, your customers won\u2019t be happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only that, but a too large or too small box demonstrates a lack of care and thought,\u00a0 which relates back to the premium look and feel concept we mentioned earlier. If a customer\u2019s first impression of your brand is that your <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are tatty and poorly packaged, you need to do a better job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To decide what size box you need, assess the needs of your company, and take the time to analyze your products. The box you choose will need to tightly fit them inside but leave some room for padding to minimize the likelihood of product damage during handling, storage, and shipping. This will also help reduce shipping costs. Generally speaking, the smaller and lighter the box, the lower the cost of transport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned previously, if your products are small enough, then you may want to consider<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/mailer-boxes\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customized mailers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These sleekly designed packages do exactly what they say on the tin: They arrive in the mail. You\u2019ll often see these kinds of packages used for subscription boxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business needs a shipping service to move your products, then your next best bets are<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/carton-boxes\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shipping cartons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or cardboard <\/span><b>shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, assuming that your products are not fragile or delicate. If this is the case, then the best choice is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/corrugated-boxes\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corrugated shipping boxes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are more robust and sturdy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"bp-note-section\">\n<p><b>A note on dimensional pricing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth bearing in mind that pricing according to dimensions is a huge factor to consider when choosing your <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you ship with well-known companies like UPS or FedEx, you\u2019ll already know that both providers use dimensional pricing to set shipping box prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimensional prices started back in 2015 and completely changed the shipping landscape. Previously, businesses were charged for their boxes based on how much they weighed. But now, it\u2019s all about how much space your boxes take up in their shipping trucks. This makes a lot of sense. The more space a box takes up, the less space there is for other boxes, and the more deliveries the companies will need to perform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure your custom shipping box strategy is cost-effective, choose boxes that are the right size. The goal is for them not to cost you a fortune in shipping. To get an idea of the dimensional price of your packaging, measure the length, width, and height of your packages. Make sure you measure the longest parts of each box and account for the box slightly stretching if it is filled tightly. Once you\u2019ve done this, multiply these dimensions to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/box-sizes-how-to-measure-a-box\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get the dimensional size<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bear in mind that shipping companies tend to change their prices regularly, in line with economic fluctuations. We recommend keeping a regular eye on dimensional prices to ensure that you don\u2019t encounter any nasty surprises as you fulfill your online store orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This, of course, isn\u2019t to put you off using <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are a great tool in any e-commerce strategy. What we\u2019re emphasizing here is balance, ensuring that you carefully choose the right box that\u2019s the right size to make sure your strategy improves the bottom line rather than hinders it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a basic measure, we recommend choosing <\/span><b>shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that offer a maximum of 5 centimeters in cushioning space. This will help keep dimensional pricing fees reasonable, as well as ensure your products stay safe while in transit. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><b>2.

A sense of style and flair for design can turn a plain<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/rectangular\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rectangular box<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into a marketing superstar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a customized shipping box goes beyond just graphics and colors. You can consider textures and finishing options, too. You want your box to best represent your brand and your products. Every choice you make has the potential to be a statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to consider is the texture of your packaging. Depending on your brand values and colors, this could be anything from embossed gold to kraft-feel brown, or even a luxurious leather texture. When it comes to textures and the whole design process, this is an opportunity to let your creativity go wild. So choose the right material and create something spectacular that wows a variety of customer types.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an example, take a look at Earth Fare\u2019s eye-catching customized packaging. The company\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/eco-friendly-packaging\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> eco-friendly packaging<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instantly conveys the brand&#8217;s values as a natural, ethical company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you don\u2019t have to stick with neutral cardboard brown. You can customize your boxes\u2019 colors so that they are in line with brand guidelines. You can also decide if you want the color finish to be glossy or matte. It\u2019s worth remembering that different colors and textures need to be carefully combined to make sure you get the look you want. We advise experimenting before you commit and order your <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in bulk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. The Custom Box Design<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2218\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-box-design-typography-logo-artwork-slogan-and-tone-of-voice.jpg\" alt=\"custom box design typography logo artwork slogan and tone of voice\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve already mentioned brand guidelines, and the design element of <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is where these come to the forefront. Your logo, typography, artwork, company strap-line, and more can come into play here. After all, customized <\/span><b>shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are an excellent marketing vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s likely that your social media pages and websites are exploding with your brand tone of voice, and it should be on your packaging, too. Your <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom shipping boxes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a storytelling opportunity, a way to build affinity with customers. Tell them something they didn\u2019t know about your company, and make them feel special. What you write\u2014or don\u2019t write\u2014is important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about your brand and its values: Are you subtle and elegant, loud and proud, or colorful but modest? Once you\u2019ve narrowed down a few words to define your brand, it\u2019s time to think about how the design of your customized shipping box can reflect this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if your brand is eco-friendly and values minimalism, you may want to go for a crisp <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/what-is-kraft-paper\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kraft paper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a small amount of lettering in a delicate typography. Alternatively, if your brand is exuberant and colorful, then you may want colored cardboard, decorated with different patterns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that small boxes have limited room. For example, if you\u2019re a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/cosmetic-boxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cosmetics brand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and are only delivering a single product, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll only need small boxes. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you need to skimp on the design. Instead, think of how you can make the most of the space you have to make an impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve got the design sorted, it\u2019s time to think about printing options. The option you choose takes price into consideration, but it\u2019s also worth thinking about the intricacy of your design. There are three main print methods to consider:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flexographic\/direct printing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is perfect for high-quality printing of basic designs, featuring a maximum of three colors. This option is cost-effective and produces a beautiful, professional-looking finish in your <\/span><b>custom shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lithographic printing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is great for more intricate designs or those that incorporate photography. Lithographic printing is often considered as the highest caliber in terms of quality, although it is more expensive, especially if you need a large quantity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Digital printing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a more basic form of printing that can even be performed from home. It\u2019s cheaper but also produces low-quality prints. If you\u2019re on a budget or think your designs may change, then digital is a great option to start with.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>4. Customize Your Box From The Inside Out<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2219\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Customize-Box-From-Inside-Out-peanuts-tissue-paper-personalization-note.jpg\" alt=\"Customize Box From Inside Out peanuts tissue paper personalization note\" srcset=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Customize-Box-From-Inside-Out-peanuts-tissue-paper-personalization-note.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Customize-Box-From-Inside-Out-peanuts-tissue-paper-personalization-note-966x644.jpg 966w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Customize-Box-From-Inside-Out-peanuts-tissue-paper-personalization-note-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Customize-Box-From-Inside-Out-peanuts-tissue-paper-personalization-note-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve mastered the exterior design of your <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom shipping boxes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and you&#8217;re sure it will wow your customers. Now, it\u2019s time to think about how you can continue the wow factor once the box is opened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inside of your <\/span><b>shipping boxes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a continuation of your brand story. You can design the interior of your box just as you would the outside, with typography and brand colors that continue to tell your story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the box itself, think about the interiors that surround your product\u2014the filing. While bubble wrap and styrofoam are traditional packaging cushions, they aren\u2019t the most exciting or ingenious. However, with a little bit of thought and creativity, you can turn your packaging cushioning into another tactic in your customization strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you use packing peanuts, you could consider changing the color and shape so that they represent your brand. Alternatively, you could consider using colored tissue paper to add a sense of luxury to the unboxing experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from cushioning, it\u2019s a good idea to think about how else you can make the unboxing experience YouTube-worthy. If you\u2019re a small company, you could perhaps include personalized, handwritten notes to make your customers feel special and show the care that goes into packaging your products. Details like stickers, newsletters, ribbons, and free samples are also a great way to make the unboxing experience feel even more rewarding for your customer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Outside the Box<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to sealing your custom boxes, there are two main kinds of tape to consider. There\u2019s water-activated tape and pressure-sensitive tape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Water-activated tape<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a type of paper tape that incorporates a water-based chemical. When you put the tape on the carton, a chemical reaction is triggered, which strongly bonds the tape to the box. This makes water-activated tape extremely strong and almost tamper-proof. It\u2019s also great for keeping products safe in even the roughest conditions, as the tape\u2019s bonding measures mean it\u2019s difficult for water to get into the box.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pressure-sensitive tape<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by comparison, uses a sticky adhesive substance, which sticks to the box when it\u2019s rolled on. This is the kind of tape you\u2019ll be familiar with in everyday life; it\u2019s used in sellotape and masking tape, for example. Pressure-sensitive tape isn\u2019t as strong and robust as water-activated tape. However, for small items and small businesses, it is good enough to do the trick, especially if your items are durable.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, after all the work you\u2019ve put into creating amazing custom boxes, you should tell the world about them. Display your beautiful boxes with promotional products in them on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/packaging-social-media-shareable\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and share posts from customers who do, too. Ultimately, your customized <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shipping boxes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can become another part of your content marketing strategy, helping you attract new customers and ensure your current ones keep returning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Logistics, Logistics, Logistics<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2222\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logistics-shipping-strategy-same-day-next-day-dhl-fedex.jpg\" alt=\"logistics shipping strategy same day next day dhl fedex\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A custom shipping box strategy doesn\u2019t start and end with the box. There\u2019s the whole process of getting your beautiful packaging in the hands of your happy customer. In the world of e-commerce, your price strategy for shipments can be a competitive differentiator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free shipping, same-day shipping, and next-day shipping are all huge plusses. However, your choices need to make financial sense. If your model isn\u2019t profitable, then this could cause long-term damage to your business\u2019s revenue stream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an overview of the most common shipping methods for your <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom shipping boxes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and how they could work for your company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Free Shipping<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that 90% of consumers would<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/savemycent.com\/free-shipping-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their online shopping spending if they could select free shipping? However, while shipping may be free to the end consumer, it won\u2019t be free for your business. There will always be costs involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free shipping can be a viable option for many companies though. It\u2019s all about the tactics you employ to strike a balance. For example, you could make the prices of your products more expensive to account for the cost of free shipping. Alternatively, you could strategically add the cost of free shipping into your financial planning and deduct it from your revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other options, too. Rather than offering free shipping across the board, you could run special sales, such as during the summer or Black Friday, in which free shipping is advertised for a short time. Another tactic is to offer free shipping for orders over a certain price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Charge Up-to-Date Carrier Rates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more straightforward method is to align your shipping prices with real-time rates from suppliers like FedEx and USPS. If you\u2019re savvy, you could even offer your customers a range of choices from different suppliers, enabling them to choose the option that works best for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some may wish to go for the cheaper option that takes a little longer to deliver. Other customers may want their product as soon as possible and so are willing to pay a little more for quick delivery. This transparency and the power of choice can go a long way toward making happy customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Charge a Flat Rate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular choice is what\u2019s known as flat rate shipping. This is where you select a standard rate for shipping. Often, the rate is cheaper for a few days delivery and more expensive if the customer chooses next-day delivery. Flat rate delivery puts you in control and can be helpful from a financial planning sense, as you won\u2019t have to incur the cost of free delivery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, flat rate shipping doesn\u2019t take into account fluctuations in dimensional pricing, so if your products vary greatly in size, it could be a risky option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Offer Pickup Options\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option to consider is offering pick-up delivery options, either curbside, store, or locker deliveries. This option can be viewed as more sustainable by end consumers, as it drops a number of parcels often at a central delivery point rather than delivering them to individual addresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, pickup options are often less convenient for the customer, unless the pickup spot is right down the road from their office or home. For this reason, we recommend offering pickup options in addition to one of the strategies above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Keep Your Products Memorable and Secure with Custom Shipping Boxes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2221\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Keep-Your-Products-Memorable-and-Secure-with-Custom-Shipping-Boxes.jpg\" alt=\"Keep Your Products Memorable and Secure with Custom Shipping Boxes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Keep-Your-Products-Memorable-and-Secure-with-Custom-Shipping-Boxes.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Keep-Your-Products-Memorable-and-Secure-with-Custom-Shipping-Boxes-966x644.jpg 966w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Keep-Your-Products-Memorable-and-Secure-with-Custom-Shipping-Boxes-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Keep-Your-Products-Memorable-and-Secure-with-Custom-Shipping-Boxes-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be thinking, \u201cThis all sounds great, but where can I get <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customized<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shipping boxes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d Don\u2019t fret because you\u2019re in the right place.
