How Much Thought Do You Give to Your Packaging? We all know that when it comes to choosing something to eat, we are likely to be swayed by the way it looks on the plate. How many times have you sat in a restaurant waiting to order, only to see a gorgeous plate of food come out and immediately say “I want one of those?”. We are visual creatures, and while cost, practicality and a whole host of other things will come in to the decision making process, what everything looks like is always vitally important. This is why you, as a supplier or manufacturer of packing materials throughout UK, need to give special consideration to the packing materials you use – whether they are straight for the consumer or to a re-seller such as a supermarket or department store.
Protection Asides from the aesthetics, how you choose to pack your products will have a huge impact on whether it remains safe or not in transit. There is no point in having a beautiful product and a visually appealing box to keep it in if ultimately it ends up in a million pieces before the purchaser has a chance to open it. Therefore you need to think about what it is that you want your packaging to do. Do you need to use something like bubble wrap to stop a glass from breaking? Will you have multiple items in one box and therefore need to find a way to keep them all safe, secure and free from bashing in to each other? Are boxes of your products likely to be stored in large numbers? If so, does this mean that the outer box needs to be strong, to withstand something being placed on top of it? Is your product a consumable? If so, there is no doubt a chance that you are going to need to keep your item (whether it be food or drink) fresh. This adds another dimension to consider as you take into account the need to freeze, chill or heat the outer packaging. Protection is certainly a vital thing to consider when buying packaging.
Worry Not If you are not sure where to begin then you do not need to worry. Yes, these things need to be thought about, but as you already have so many things on your plate, maybe this isn’t something that you have time for. The simple truth of the matter is that any supplier of packaging materials throughout the UK will be able to discuss with you every aspect of the design process, including what the ultimate aim of any packaging will be. They will be used to taking such things in to consideration and will be best placed to advise you on what items are most likely to meet all of your needs and requirements.
