Creating Unique Packaging

Creating unique packaging in a world where boxes are designed for strength can be a challenging endeavor. How do you make your packages stand out from the rest without compromising their structural integrity? Fortunately, at Packaging HERO®, we have the answers. Just because you’re looking for affordable, durable packaging doesn’t mean that packages need to be plain or uneventful. Here are some options for creating unique, appealing, and stand-out shipments.

Use the Right Colors

The most important tip for creating stand-out packaging might be the most obvious. Depending on your shipment type and product, you’ll want to use different types of boxes, bags, or mailers that fit properly. You wouldn’t want to ship a single piece of jewelry in a corrugated box that’s two feet wide! Instead, focus on fitting the product in packaging according to its form and function. Using jewelry as an example, you’ll want to use jewelry boxes to hold the item and then place the jewelry box in an appropriately sized corrugated box or mailer. Not only does the appropriate size create a more cohesive look, but it helps protect the item from damage during transit.

This is true of all shipments. For apparel, using a clothing or apparel box helps keep the item tidy and properly secured. Deluxe corrugated literature mailers keep books and other pieces of literature safe in conveniently sized boxes. Mailing tubes are perfect for posters and larger documents. By searching for packaging according to your product type, you can find a box, mailer, or packaging type that fits it appropriately and highlights the content within. Beginning with this step, you can eliminate trouble that may be caused by using incorrect packaging that could damage or disorganize the contents within.

Add Labels and Tags

Adding labels and tags to your shipping is a good way to create stand-out packaging as well as an ideal way to simplify transit instructions. Labels come in many shapes, sizes, and types, ranging from hazard and fragile labels to informational shipping labels. These can be used to convey information to postal employees and delivery drivers, but they can also demonstrate conscientiousness and can customize a package according to your business. Experimenting with your customized labels can create brand recognition. Inventory tags aren’t just for storage – these items are perfect for adding to products to convey information to customers or send a message. They can be used for inventory purposes, pricing information, or even for adding a thank you note.

Add a Bit of Flair to Packages

Beyond labeling and properly containing your products, a great way to create packages that stand out is to add the right amount of flair. With Packaging HERO, you’ll find options that not only add that flair but also properly protect your items. Void fill not only prevents impact damage by removing the amount of air in a package, but it’s also a great way to add color and style to each box. Use crinkle paper or tissue paper to create a unique look that’s also functional. You’ll also find glamour mailers at Packaging HERO that envelope the item in a uniquely styled polyester laminate bag.
