E-commerce packaging: the unboxing experience with shipping boxes and mailer boxes

Online retail has no shop floor and no face-to-face conversation. The first physical contact between customer and brand is the parcel at the front door. Well-designed shipping packaging therefore does more than protect the product – it shapes the first impression and can encourage repeat purchases.

Shipping box or mailer box?

Material: choosing the right corrugated board

Corrugated board is the first choice for shipping. Depending on the weight and fragility of the contents, different flute types and thicknesses are used. Light products travel safely in a fine flute, which is also particularly easy to print; heavier goods need a stronger construction. A kraft look feels natural, while white liners make colours stand out better.

The right size saves money

A box that fits the product exactly needs less void fill, protects better and lowers the dimensional weight for shipping. So have the inner dimensions matched to your key items rather than working with just a few standard sizes.

Designing the unboxing

Shipping sustainably

Today’s customers expect packaging that is easy to dispose of. We use FSC®-certified raw materials and up to 100 % recyclable materials. Also keep your obligations under the German Packaging Act in mind – more on this in our article on sustainable packaging.
