What is e-commerce packaging?

E-commerce packaging is protective packaging that enables you to ship a range of goods purchased online via courier or royal mail services.

E-commerce boxes protect goods in transit, enable branding opportunities and open up the potential opportunities of exciting unboxing experiences for your customers and ultimately user generated content (UGC) for your brand.

Types of e-commerce packaging

E-commerce packaging includes a range of different e-commerce boxes including:

• Letter box boxes.
• Subscription boxes.
• Crash lock box.
• Packing boxes.
• Royal mail boxes. 

Shipping boxes for e-commerce are also available in a range of different sizes.

If the type of e-commerce boxes you’re looking for aren’t on this list get in touch anyway as Belmont Packaging can help with a range of e-commerce packaging requirements.

Considerations for your e-commerce packaging requirements

The packaging you use to ship your goods is an extension of your brand, so it’s important to consider the impression you want to make on your customer when they receive your goods.

If you want your e-commerce boxes to reflect your brand and values it’s important to consider this early on in your planning. If a customer unboxes your goods and shares it online, think about what is important to your brand image during that unboxing experience.

Consider the following:

• Do you want your goods to be part of an unboxing experience?
• How do you want your individual products to be displayed/found inside your e-commerce boxes? Corrugated cardboard dividers, fittings, packaging peanuts and shredded paper are all effective ways of packaging goods.
• If your team are part of your branding experience what about including a signed card from them as the goods are packaged?
• To encourage reordering and engagement can you include a special offer?
• How can you encourage your customers to share their unboxing experience? Reminders of social media accounts, relevant #hashtags and competitions are an ideal way to do this.
