Choosing the right eCommerce packaging solution will play a real part in the final delivery of your product and the customers final perception of your brand.

One of the problems with eCommerce is physical evidence (or lack of) and as customers we need tangible evidence to give us confidence to purchase. We have all hesitated over the ‘proceed to check out’ button online and wondered ‘is this even a legitimate company?’; the digital age has made it all too easy for someone in front of a computer to design a fabulous looking website and start collecting orders.

Ok…there’s nothing wrong with that…but how does an established company differentiate themselves and provide their customers with confidence that they aren’t just one of ‘the crowd’?

Well let’s take the cue from the growing number of established high street stores that are now investing in the tangible delivery of their online orders, you need to really focus on getting your packaging performing and creating a memorable unboxing experience.

Sustainable eCommerce Packaging

Sustainable ecommerce packaging is ecommerce packaging that is manufactured from sustainable raw material sources. To find out if ecommerce packaging is sustainable you need to look out for:

  1. eCommerce packaging that is manufactured using recycled materials: Recycled materials are almost always sustainable.

  2. eCommerce packaging that uses FSC certified raw paper fibre material: FSC means the virgin paper fibres used in manufacture have been taken from carefully managed forests.

  3. Starch based plastic eCommerce packaging: Starch based plastic is made from plant starch rather than oil so is a renewable raw material source.

  4. UK manufactured eCommerce packaging: Packaging that is manufactured in the UK is much more sustainable than packaging that is bought in from abroad because of lower carbon emissions.

  5. Recyclable eCommerce Packaging: eCommerce packaging that is easily recycled means that it can be used again and again to make other useful items rather than just ending up in the bin.

  6. Reusable eCommerce Packaging: eCommerce packaging that can be reused after its initial use, for example, a shoe box that can be used as a container around the home, or a box that can be coloured in by kids, or cut outs to make something fun to play with.
