Important Facts about packaging boxes
by Richil J. Printing & packagingIntroduction:
The World is turning
into a global village, gone are the days when every place has its own special
things which you can only find there. Thanks to advance communication
technology now people are well aware of each other's customs, culture, dresses,
sports, and other goods etc. After keenly observing each other they want the
things that are available in some other country or even some other continent.
Due to the increase in demands of people, imports, and exports increases; and
now also due to e-commerce getting any product has become way easier. And all
of this gives rise to the packaging business.
Why do we need
packaging?
Goods need to be
transferred from one place to another safely and this can only be achieved by
transporting goods in packaging boxes. Without
it, many of the goods would be damaged and spoiled before reaching their
specified destination. In underdeveloped countries where they do not have
proper packaging industries as in developed and developing countries, more than
50% of the times the goods never reach to its consumer.
Different types of
products need different types of packaging for e.g. goods like fruits and
vegetables do not need any sort of safe packing to be carried from shop to the
customer, but when they have to be transferred to shops they need to be packed
properly in order to prevent fruits and vegetables from spoiling. Packaging is
a multi-stage process for getting goods from production to consumption. The
first primary stage is the way we take goods home, secondary stage is boxes,
trays and film wrap that group the item together and third is the transport
stage i.e. in the form cartons, large containers and pallets that allow the
grouped items to be loaded into different vehicles like trucks, lorries, carts
etc.
What is packaging?
Normally we think that packaging means boxes, tins, bottles, wrapping, and pots. But according to the laws and rules, it is still under consideration that whether to consider carrier bag, flower pot, and lollipop packet a packaging too. For ordinary people packaging is anything that protects goods and helps the vendors to transfer goods safely. There are different types of products some are too vulnerable and need to be protected accordingly like glass products and decoration materials etc. For each type of product, there are types of packaging methods. Some times the vendors need to have customized packaging boxes and for that, they have to provide Packaging Box Template.
There are not any specific
best types of packaging material, just need to check an appropriate type of
material best suited for the goods in a particular amount. You cannot give
water or the other liquid materials in paper bags but you can give scrubbers,
soap etc. in paper bags. Similarly, shoes need to be protected from the
external environment there fore they have to be packed in specialized cardboard
boxes. Thus the production companies need to have packaging boxes best suited for their products and that’s why they
provide templates for packaging boxes.
Packaging Styles:
Sometimes we open a
product and find it to be sealed in several packages e.g. for a laptop or
desktop computers we see a cushion covering, a plastic packet, a bubble wrap,
then a thermopile sheet and then lastly the cardboard box. Honestly, when we
see it we think that this is over packaging. However, we do not undertake the
fact that how much pressure, temperature conditions, moisture and as well as
vibration or other circumstances this laptop might have faced while it was
being transported to the particular destination.
These are the facts that
the production company has to undermine. All the big companies order the personalized
packaging boxes specified for their product. They have their specifically printed
packaging boxes with their names and other precautionary measures printed on
the box.
While the big companies
have their custom packaging boxes by providing special Packaging Box Template,
some new companies or small business could not afford to have such luxury,
therefore, they go for recycled packaging boxes or also use second-hand packaging
boxes just to make their goods journey to the shops safe.
There are companies who
deal with packaging business and provide appropriate packaging to their
consumers according to their need. They deal with wholesale packaging boxes and
their consumer only needs to provide them with their demands or template of packaging boxes and they
will provide the custom printed packaging boxes according to
their needs and demands.
Packaging Industry and
Environment:
It is important to
remember that main purpose of packaging is to protect goods and to ensure that
goods inside are not wasted because of the damage. Typically more resources are
spent in the contents inside than the packaging outside, which is itself a
measure to protect the environment because it is helping to save the resources.
These days urban
population cannot afford to have fresh fruits and vegetables from the farms so
that they have to rely on food that is grown in villages or countryside and
then they are transported to the urban areas to fulfill their eating needs.
Without packaging there would be a greater effect on the environment and a lot
of food would have been wasted.
How to Choose Best
Packaging?
Normal people like us don’t go shopping for packaging, we even don’t know in what type of packing the product reaches the store but we have to trust that the manufacturer used the best of the packaging method for the safety of the goods.
