Money-Saving Packing Tips

  • Don’t “ship air.” Minimize the empty space in the box. For example, if you send gift baskets, choose a basket without a handle; it will take up less space.

  • Use quality packing materials. The quality of the box, cushioning and packing tape matter. Recycling is great! It’s acceptable to reuse boxes but what most people don’t know is that most boxes lose 60% of their strength after the first ship. Bring your box and we will inspect them.

  • Pack like a pro. Cutting corners can result in damaged goods and unhappy customers. MBE Taman Desa offers packing service and consulting.

Practice makes perfect. Monitor and adjust. Track shipping costs and damage rates of your parcels, and then revisit all of your processes and packaging to find out how you can improve. If you build monitoring into your product cycle, you can improve your outcomes while keeping costs low.
