Postal packaging has become increasingly vital in the modern age of convenience delivery. Only 20 years ago, it’d be hard to imagine the sheer scale of today’s ecommerce businesses and their reliance on prompt delivery and high-quality packaging, and online retail’s share of the market is only growing larger as time goes on.
If you’re an emerging business looking to offer home delivery for your customers, you might be stumped as to what packaging you should use and quantities you should order. Our decades of experience in the UK packaging industry give us the optimum level of expertise needed to offer advice on postal packaging solutions.
Envelopes
If you’re embarking on a mailing campaign, you’ll be going through a lot of paper envelopes. Opting for recycled paper in this instance is an environmentally conscious move that will reduce your campaign’s impact on the planet – promoting customer goodwill in the process.
Padded envelopes are what you should use if you’re sending small items through the post. We stock a range of premium options including the Featherpost Gold Self Seal Bags, which are lined with bubble wrap to ensure that anything from jewellery to electronics is adequately protected from the vagaries of the postal system.
Postage boxes
For larger-scale operations, you need a range of postage boxes you can rely on to get products to your customers unharmed.
Whether you’re a wholesale supplier looking to deliver goods to businesses or a bespoke meal kit company looking to wow consumers on their doorsteps, quality cardboard packing boxes are the backbone of your commerce.
Here at Kendon, you’re able to choose from both single wall and double wall cardboard boxes in a huge array of sizes – so whoever’s opening the box at the other end of the process is thoroughly satisfied with the end product and the packaging it arrived in.
Postal tubes
Online retailers need to be aware of the different types of postal supplies they should stock for total customer satisfaction.
There’s simply no way to send posters or artworks through the post other than using a postal tube, and we stock them in both 508x50x1.5mm and the larger 813x50x1.5mm configuration – ensuring scalability for the products you offer.
Bubble post bags
Bubble post bags walk the tricky line between a padded envelope and a cardboard box, so for awkward items, they’re a solid bet. The bubble wrap ensures that whatever inside is protected, and the bag configuration gives more flexibility than an envelope.
Clothing items can easily be sent using bubble post bags, making them a savvy choice for fashion-focused ecommerce sites looking to find their feet in the industry.
It goes without saying that you should order all your packaging material in bulk to avoid any mishaps that might leave your customers without their products. Today’s online shopping industry is driven by the convenience of swift delivery, so if you’re out of packaging materials, this could seriously damage your brand’s reputation.
So, identify the correct type of packaging, order in bulk and you’ll have little hassle. Browse our full range of postal products and revolutionise your ecommerce business’s packaging today.
