What's the function of package?


The top priority of package is to protect products from manufacturer to end users.Then,it should be easy for recycle and to reduce the cost for buyers.A perfect package with well designed shipping marks is also a good way to promote products for attracting customers and increasing sales.
 

As an manufacturer and export company of steel office and home furniture,in addition to quality and price,package is also a key consideration for us.Our customers from all over the world and doing different types of business like wholesalers,distributers,retailers,online sales, and end users.It’s quite important to help them choose the right package materials to protect their goods during transportation with a low-cost price.


What factors we consider when suggesting the packages for customers?


1. Type of shipping

We offer various options based on how the customers want the products to be shipped on its way to destination.Standard package for sea transporation and reinforced mailbox package for online sale.Customized package for customers that have special requests during transportation.
 

2. Sustainbility

In order to protect the environment and long-term development,many businesses have requested manufacturers to use recycle materials and reduce the usage of plastic like PPWR from Europe.This could also improve companies’ repuation.The package materials we currently provide are mainly made of paper which is sustainable and easy for recycle such as carton box,corner and edge stripes and scraps of cardboard to keep the product well protected.
 

3.Cost

Cost is also an important part for the package.We provide suitable package materials with lower cost to reduce customers’ purchase cost and shipping cost.In order to load more in the containers,lighter,thinner but stronger package materials are the best choice for keeping less weight and smaller package size.
 

Now,let's begin to check the package materials that we usually choose for customers.


1. Cardboard

Carton Box Carton boxes are the last setp but most important part during the package.It decides if we should use more package materials inside the carton box to protect products.Usually,we use 5-layer carton box as standard package materials for metal storage locker and cabinet during sea tranportation.5 or 7 layers reinforced carton box have stronger and thicker paper for online sale to have a better protection when the products need second-time transportation.Some customers also choose honeycombo carton box to pack same parts inside and assemble them directly.This will massively reduce the cost of packages because 2 or 3 honeycombo carton box can pack 30-40 units products every time.For workers,this type of package won’t waste time moving and opening new cartons in a short time.It ultimately decrease customers'purchase cost.


2. PE foam/Bubble film

Since the steel furniture are knock down structure and shipped in pieces.PE foam or buble film is placed in every layer to prevent the surface of panels from getting scratches and damages.Bubble film could also reduce vibration.Both of them make no difference on the weight and low price on the cost which are perfect for delivery.


3. Hardpaper corner& edge stripes

Foam board is an essential part for online sales.It covers the 6 sides of the products with 1cm~4cm thickness for a better protection on products when they need second-time delivery to end users.Metal corner protectors add the strength of corners.
