Packing That Survives The Courier And Still Opens Well
Online orders fail in two ways: they arrive damaged, or they arrive forgettable. Fixing the first is a material problem and fixing the second is a design problem. The same pack has to solve both.
Every Stage And What Goes Wrong At It
Each step below names the problem buyers actually hit and what we do about it, rather than describing a workflow in the abstract.
Order Profile
The problem. One mailer used for every order.
How we handle it. We look at what you actually ship and split it into two or three pack types instead of one compromise.
Protection
The problem. Damage claims and replacement shipments.
How we handle it. Bubble, composite and rigid options are specified against the value and fragility of what is inside.
Branding
The problem. Plain packaging wastes the only physical contact you have.
How we handle it. Printed tape, stickers and wrap brand a plain carton at low cost per parcel.
Returns
The problem. Customers cannot reseal a bag they opened.
How we handle it. Zipper and dual-seal closures make a return possible without extra materials.
Packing Speed
The problem. Complex packing slows a peak-season bench.
How we handle it. Folded boxes and pre-cut wrap are specified so the bench can work quickly.
Checking
The problem. Faults found only after the shipment lands.
How we handle it. Photos and video of the finished goods are sent before shipment for your check.

How many mailer sizes should we stock?
Two or three usually covers a clothing range. Too few means wasted space, too many slows the packing bench.
Is a bubble bag needed for clothing?
Usually not for soft goods, but yes for anything with hardware, glass or a structure that can be crushed.
What is the cheapest way to brand our parcels?
Printed tape and stickers on a plain mailer or carton. It is the lowest cost per parcel of anything we make.
