E-commerce cartons - reliable and indispensable

Online trade is one of the most important sales markets worldwide today. More and more people are taking advantage of the opportunity to order products from the comfort of their own homes. Cartons are one of the most important pillars of this economic sector. They ensure that products arrive safely and undamaged at the consumer's door - anywhere in the world.

The large online retailers, in particular, ship their goods globally. As a result, e-commerce boxes sometimes cover long distances. They are transported by land, sea or air. It is therefore important that the packaging withstands the various external influences and provides protection for the contents.

Scratches, pressure or impacts can damage the goods during shipping and storage. The damaged goods are usually returned by customers and sent back to the mail order company. It is therefore all the more important that e-commerce cartons transport your products reliably and safely. Therefore, the packaging must be able to withstand the various external influences and provide protection for the contents.

Unboxing - the power of unpacking

E-commerce buying behaviour is very different from shopping in a brick-and-mortar shop. If we shop at a local retailer on site, in most cases we can see the desired product, touch it, try it on or even test its functionality. This is not possible - at least in 2022 - in online retail. Instead, one relies here exclusively on visual stimuli or audiovisual presentation in the form of videos.

This has a very clear psychological impact on buying behaviour. From the moment we send the order and complete the payment process, expectations and a kind of anticipation grow within us. This emotional tension increases as the delivery date approaches. Many consumers follow the delivery of their goods online with the tracking offers of the shipping service providers and eagerly await the delivery date.

This process makes it easy to understand the emotions and the intensity with which they build up, especially when buying from e-commerce platforms - until they are discharged at the moment of unboxing. The so-called "unboxing" has not become one of the top trends in social media for nothing. YouTube is home to countless videos with millions of clicks in which a product is simply taken out of its packaging. In many cases, the actual functionality is not even tested or demonstrated in this video - it is simply about removing the product from its packaging.

Take advantage of this potential with Labelprint24's e-commerce boxes. Our packaging professionals will be happy to advise you on how to get the most out of your customers' unboxing experience.

Finishes for your packaging

At Labelprint24 you have the option of finishing your e-commerce boxes with protective varnish or foil. The protective varnish is sprayed onto the material and gives the printed image a higher quality look. Colours shine and details are better reproduced. It also protects the printed image from scratches.

The protective film or laminate has the same properties, but protects the board even better. Here the material is covered with a film that adheres permanently to it. This protects the printed image and the material even more efficiently than treatment with a varnish. Laminate is the best solution if your e-commerce cartons are exposed to strong external influences.

FAQ

• What is the advantage of hinged boxes?
  Boxes with a hinged lid can be opened in a similar way to a trunk. This makes them the perfect solution to offer the customer an exceptional unboxing experience. The inside of the hinged lid can also be printed: with the company logo, a greeting message, information about a competition or application information.


• How can e-commerce cartons affect costs from returns?
  The more stable a carton is, the better the product is protected. If the product arrives safely and in perfect condition, returns due to damage are almost impossible. The goods can still be returned - for example, if the customer subsequently decides on a different product or the ordered goods do not fit.
  In this case, too, sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes ensure that the goods are transported safely and that their condition does not deteriorate during the return journey. It can therefore be refurbished more quickly and with less effort and resold as B-goods. If the carton cannot transport the product undamaged, in the worst case it must be disposed of after receipt of the goods, which causes additional costs.
