Several challenges to e-commerce packaging requirements

Time: 2023-11-11


With the arrival of the annual double eleven shopping peak season, e-commerce requirements for packaging will appear the following major challenges:

1, labor costs increase. In order to cope with the arrival of the peak shipping period, many e-commerce companies have added a large number of temporary workers, who need to provide higher wages as well as more training costs, but due to the tight labor market, most of the e-commerce companies still have a large employment gap;

2. Loss rates will rise sharply. With the faster turnaround of the shopping season, if you don't take the time to package your items adequately and efficiently, it will be highly likely that they will suffer more damage during transportation. Packages are subject to brutal handling throughout the shipping cycle, especially in the all-important last mile. A well-designed and tested packaging service will help ensure that your product reaches the user in good condition.

Customers may be disappointed and annoyed by poor packaging experiences and give bad reviews, such as foam pellets all over the floor, messy and mixed padding, and tape wrapped all over the box and emitting the odor of poor quality glue. At the same time, low-grade packaging makes for a bad shopping and gift-giving experience. Those disappointing unboxing experiences have a ripple effect, with 75 percent of friends and family sharing the bad experience on social media platforms and 26 percent giving bad reviews outright. Ecommerce companies need to increase customer loyalty through the holiday shopping experience.

A bad review or a bad shopping experience shared will trickle down to more users. If you don't pre-plan your packaging, you may receive damaged products that may not be saleable. Even if the product is re-sellable, you will need to go back into the warehouse and repackage and ship the item, and incur the additional costs that come with it.
