What is e-commerce packaging?

E-commerce packaging refers to any type of box designed for shipping purposes. Its main characteristic is that it allows products to be packed quickly and easily. This is a major benefit for online shop owners and customers alike.  

This particular type of packaging includes both flap cartons and folding boxes. The most common types used in the e-commerce industry include Fefco 427 (folding boxes), Fefco 201 (flap boxes) and Fefco 700-714 (boxes with automatic bottoms). Boxes for the e-commerce industry also include packaging with tear-off/adhesive strips, such as Fefco 885-887.

Cardboard envelopes for small products or book packaging are another notable product. Yet another increasingly popular option is drop box packaging, which is sized to fit the box compartments and reduce shipping costs.

With its design and functionality, TEK-PAK e-commerce packaging makes it much easier to ship large quantities of products. The adhesive strip on the flap saves you the extra weight of tape and reduces the packing process to just a few seconds. 

On the other hand, if you are unhappy with the service, the adhesive strip in the packaging makes it much easier to return the faulty goods without the need for an extra box. Our boxes are reusable thanks to our clever and environmentally friendly solutions. 

Applications of e-commerce packaging

E-commerce packaging has become a hit in the e-commerce industry as parcel packaging needs to be optimised to reduce shipping costs.   

Both small and large companies are eager to take advantage of the wide range of packaging features to facilitate online sales. It is extremely important that a product fits snugly in the box and that the parcel is the right size. Size, of all things, determines the final shipping price. The better your box design, the higher your savings.
