Using your custom made packaging, you can create marketing campaigns that easily spread awareness to an endless number of potential new customers. 

Unique Customer Experience

Opening a custom box is an experience of its own. There are Youtube channels specifically for unboxing events. This is how much the experience matters to customers. It is almost as valuable as the actual product itself. By creating a custom package, you immediately provide value on top of the product in the form of a unique user experience.

Provides Protection For Fragile Goods 

A custom box can be an additional protective layer above and beyond normal shipping methods. If you are selling valuables that are fragile, it can be extremely beneficial to provide extra protection. Custom boxes or packaging allows for you to make the product as secure as possible and potentially add other fillers that provide a further cushion. 

Reduced Shipping Costs 

It may seem counterintuitive, but delivery costs tend to come down with custom packages. You may have a higher cost with the actual packaging since it is custom-built. However, as the quantity that you are shipping goes up, the cost typically goes down. 

This is particularly true since custom orders are typically easier to handle since their dimensions are easier to work with. 

What Does Custom Packaging Include?

Most of the ecommerce shopping done nowadays comes in either mailers or shippers. Mailers are the bubble wrap sort of envelopes, whereas shippers are the cardboard boxes for shipping products. These can be either plain or decorated to your liking. 

Customized Exterior Printed Packaging

Packages are easily customizable using Print Bind Ship’s digital printing technology. The exterior of a box could display your excellently crafted company design or logo as opposed to just blank brown cardboard. These printed boxes are highly customizable and high quality to meet your company’s exact specifications. 

Products And Promotional Items

You can include anything you wish inside your custom box! You can include the company’s promotional material, your product, special offers, discounts on other products and other inserts. A custom package is a great way to make your customers feel like they are receiving a gift. You can provide them with much more than just what they intended to purchase by including all of these other items.
