Growth Of Packaging And Delivery Industries

By Dylan McThomas

Over the last ten years or so, the delivery industry has grown massively in size. This is because more and more businesses are running just in time deliveries and many companies are now shifting a lot of their focus to online selling, delivery requirements have sky-rocketed all over the western world, and this has had a huge effect on the packaging industry.

The amount of packaging now used is many times that of how much was used in the mid 90s. There has been a consistent growth year on year since the revolution of the Internet and even during this current recession, more and more buyers are abandoning the high street and looking for bargains online meaning packaging demand is higher still.

There are a huge amount of packaging companies available but the type of packaging you need really depends on what it is youre packaging. Many packaging companies will have a minimum order such as 50 of each box type, but if your are a smaller company then you will probably want to avoid these companies. It is of course, also important to keep packing expenditure to a minimum so that it only has a small affect on turnover.

Cardboard box providers can also print boxes to your specification so you can personalise your deliveries to improve your profile. This can be a good additional form of advertising not only for your existing customers, but for everyone that will come into contact with your packages whilst they are being delivered and indeed for the rest of the boxes life.

Whether you need single wall or double wall will affect the cost of your boxes, single wall are obviously cheaper than the equivalent twin walled box. You will also need to make sure that you use a suitable packing material in you box to protect your goods from damage. A good bubble wrap or loose fill will help you to avoid unnecessary breakages.
