Companies today strive to make an impact with their customers in all sorts of ways, and showing customers that the company cares about the environment can go a long way in creating a positive customer relationship. The company can use recyclable packaging to lessen their footprint, but there are better options out there. One such option is having returnable packaging, which allows the company to use the same packaging repeatedly. This saves the environment from the damage creating new packaging can cause, plus it saves money for the company since they only have to pay for the packaging once!
"Using returnable packaging will tell your customers that you are a responsible company that cares about the environment"
Returnable packaging is improving the way that businesses ship their products around the world. Unlike one-way packaging, which will lead your packaging to simply be thrown away once it reaches its final destination, returnable packaging offers a variety of great benefits:
Like any packaging solution, there are some drawbacks to choosing returnable over one-way packaging. These factors should be considered when choosing your packaging solution: Greater upfront costs. Unlike one-way packaging, which tends to be more affordable upfront, returnable packaging tends to be more expensive right away. However, savings over time will likely be enough to justify the initial capital expense. Increased transportation costs. Returnable packaging needs to be sent back, and unfortunately this return trip isn’t free. You’ll need to factor that cost into your shipping and transportation budget. Storage space requirements. After your returnable packaging is sent back, where are you going to store it? It typically takes more space to store empty reusable packaging than one-time packaging options due to the design and strength. If storage space is a concern, consider collapsible options that can minimize the amount of room your solutions require. Potential loss of materials. With returnable packaging, you’ll be relying on the customer to send back your packaging once your goods have been received. Should your customer not follow through, you will be out the expense of those unreturned materials.
Returnable packaging solutions are available in a wide variety of materials, so regardless of your business needs, you can find a system that is right for your products. These exterior packaging systems are usually combined with inner packaging solutions that have been customized to best protect and secure your goods during transport. There are several materials that make good returnable packaging solutions:
