3 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Packaging Provider
The moment that a product arrives at the customer’s doorstep is an exciting one. It’s an opportunity to leave a lasting impression that paves the way for repeat customers. On the other hand, there’s also the chance of doing the opposite if your product is enclosed in a plain, flimsy box.
That’s why it’s crucial to choose the right packaging that reflects your product’s quality and superiority over your competitors. In this blog, we share three important things to consider when choosing your packaging provider.
1. Unmatched Product Quality
Does the packaging provider have years of experience in packaging, with a track record of innovation and extensive testing? Look for a box design team that can guarantee all safety, environmental, and Department of Transportation requirements are met. Secondly, investigate if they offer value-added services such as moisture control, anti-abrasion, and anti-rust treatments for your industrial packaging.
Finally, see whether the packaging provider conducts on-site testing to ensure performance and structural integrity. Here are just a few of the tests that we perform at Lawrence Paper Company:
- ECT Stacking Strength Test measures the resistance of the cardboard to crushing and to identify the board grade needed to meet stacking strength requirements
- Mullen Bursting Strength Test measures the bursting strength, or pressure (psi), required to blow a hole through the corrugated
- Compression Tests determine the maximum weight a package can support under controlled conditions before losing its structural integrity
2. Exceptional Design
In today’s busy marketplace, your product needs to stand out. With an overwhelming array of purchase options and retailers short on time, it’s important to find a packaging provider with amazing design capabilities. Can they create retail-ready packaging that draws people in, instructs them on your product inside, and sells it? Look for innovative designs that not only showcase the products inside but also quickly convert into attractive retail displays – all without stretching the retailer’s time, space, or patience.
3. Comprehensive Additional Services
Does your packaging provider offer additional services to create a smoother experience for you? For example, a comprehensive supply and fulfillment system can give your business several key advantages. A single provider can effectively navigate your products from the packaging floor into the most regulated retail chains, your customers’ retail outlets, and your distribution center, all while providing real-time tracking and maintaining package integrity throughout the entire fulfillment and shipping process.
Lawrence Paper Company is proud to offer an intricate supply and fulfillment system that anticipates and solves problems before they arise, preventing disruptions and maximizing efficiency. This way, we not only provide packaging solutions but also help open doors to significant business opportunities.
