For all companies it is important that their products are well protected. And not only do you have to make sure you avoid damage, but you can also consider ecological aspects, aesthetic qualities, practicality and ease of transport.
Here we look at some of the many reasons why cardboard is considered a great packaging material.
1. Versatility
Cardboard can be creatively adapted to a wide range of products in different shapes and sizes. Cardboard packaging can have multiple uses or create shapes that were never thought possible.
In some cases, brands have created their packaging to offer later use after packaging. This prolongs the life of the product and shows the brand's commitment to less waste. For example, clothing brands can use packaging that can be transformed into clothespins, giving consumers additional use of their packaging.
2. Brand design
While plain cardboard boxes can be an effective packaging design in its own right, it can easily be transformed through color, shape, and branding. Cardboard is easy to print or emboss to create custom packaging.
Using colors and logos, boxes can be quickly transformed from ordinary packaging to vibrant and exciting protective packaging that makes your brand easy to identify.
Consider cardboard as a blank canvas, on which you can convert your text, logo and images into an advertisement that makes your products stand out from the competition.
3. Recyclable
Another considerable advantage of cardboard and corrugated packaging is the fact that they are recyclable. For consumers, this brings many benefits as it is easy to dispose of and does not need special treatment to dispose of.
In most countries, recycling programs and facilities already exist. In addition, cardboard can also be made from recycled material. Which continues to be recyclable at the end of its useful life.
4. Reduce transportation costs (and carbon footprint)
Since cardboard is lightweight, it means that the packaging doesn't add too much to the weight of the overall product. Lightweight packaging makes products easier to transport and more cost-effective, as fuel is saved when weight is saved.
Plus, not only will you see savings in transportation costs, but you can also reduce your carbon footprint by using less fuel.
5. Profitable
Compared to many other packaging products, cardboard is an extremely viable option for businesses of any size, as it is considered particularly inexpensive compared to other packaging solutions, such as plastic.
By ordering your packaging in bulk, you can often save considerably on your costs. Plus, as these are usually delivered flat-packed, you'll still have room to store it, have it on hand when you need it, but it won't take up an excessive amount of space.
