Thanks to e-commerce, items we’re ashamed to buy in-store are now available online.<\/span>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>A<\/b> OnePoll survey<\/b><\/a> revealed that 89% of American consumers are willing to pay the higher price that e-stores may charge for these items to avoid embarrassment. <\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Why? 72% fear that employees or fellow shoppers at brick-and-mortar establishments will judge them according to what’s inside their cart. This retail shame reportedly wanes only when shoppers hit their late 20s (19%) or mid-30s (18%).<\/span><\/p>\n

The top 10 items US consumers are embarrassed to buy at physical shops include condoms (29%), emergency contraceptives (26%), bed bug spray (26%), head lice treatment (25%), hemorrhoid cream (24%), diarrhea medication (24%), pregnancy kit (23%), bladder leak or incontinence products (23%), menstrual products (23%), and cold sore medicine (23%).<\/span><\/p>\n

More good news: brands can ship your order without any product identification or company name to prevent couriers or nosy neighbors from discovering what you bought from their store.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that’s what discreet packaging is all about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discreet packaging uses plain\u2014no conspicuous design or imagery\u2014shipment boxes or mailers with minimal labeling to avoid drawing attention and ensure its contents remain confidential.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ambiguous Exterior: “Masking” What’s Inside<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Ambiguous<\/p>\n

Discreet packaging uses the following to keep its contents a secret:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Plain boxes or bags<\/b><\/h3>\n

You can use plain white, Kraft, or neutral-colored carton <\/span>mailers<\/span><\/a>, shipping boxes (<\/span>full overlap<\/span><\/a> or<\/span> slotted<\/span><\/a>), or<\/span> bags<\/span><\/a> with little to no branding.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Generic\/White labels<\/b><\/h3>\n

Discreet shipping<\/b> labels<\/b><\/a> can feature only a tracking number, recipient’s address, and any legally required descriptions, depending on your product.<\/b> You don’t have to include your company name or business logo.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Stealth packaging<\/b><\/h3>\n

Packaging materials with tamper-proof features aren’t easy to rip open, securing the quality\u2014and quantity\u2014of its contents. They may use special seals and tapes that need scissors or blades to open. This makes it obvious if others besides the recipient attempted to look inside.<\/span><\/p>\n
