Important Considerations for Customised Protective Packaging
Custom protective packaging works best when it’s designed with your product in mind. Bulky, heavy items need sturdy solutions, while delicate goods require extra cushioning. Every product is different, so your cardboard protective packaging should be too.
Pick the right materials
Whether it’s make-up, food, dish cleaning liquid, or furniture – each item has unique packaging needs. The right protective packaging material ensures your products are protected from environmental factors and impacts during transport.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. For example, fresh produce needs breathable, moisture-resistant packaging to maintain its quality, while fragile electronics require sturdy, shock-absorbing materials to prevent damage in transit. The right choice makes all the difference in getting your product safely to its destination.
At PPI, we specialise in creating sustainable packaging that gives your products the protection they need without harming the planet.
Be specific about product specifications
Getting the right fit is key. Too much space leads to wasted materials and unnecessary movement. Most successful protective packaging designs fit the product as snug as a glove.
Providing accurate measurements allows our designers to create packaging that keeps your product secure without excess or too little space. With the right cardboard protective packaging, your products stay safe, your customers stay happy, and your brand stays strong.
