Retailers across the UK are facing a significant rise in customer demand, driven by lasting changes in shopping behavior that began during the pandemic and lockdown periods. This surge shows no signs of slowing down, which means the need for packaging to handle orders is at an all-time high. As a result, many online businesses are now dealing with challenges caused by corrugated box shortages.
If you're having trouble sourcing your usual cardboard boxes, there are several alternative packaging options you can consider to keep your operations running smoothly:
1. **Mailing Bags**
One of the key benefits of mailing bags is their flexibility, allowing them to be delivered through standard letterboxes (as long as they meet size requirements). This helps avoid those frustrating "Sorry we missed you" delivery notes that can frustrate customers. Mailing bags are ideal for non-fragile items like clothing or soft goods. They come in various sizes, especially when made from plastic, and are also available in 100% paper versions for a more eco-friendly option.
2. **Cushioned Envelopes**
For more delicate products that could get damaged during transit, cushioned envelopes offer excellent protection. These envelopes are lined with materials such as bubble wrap or paper fluting, providing a safe environment for items like electronics, glassware, or small gadgets.
3. **Solid Board Envelopes**
These are perfect for slim, flat items like books, video games, or magazines. The rigid outer structure offers good product protection, and the gusseted design allows the envelope to expand up to 30mm in width, making it versatile for different product types.
4. **Postal Wraps**
Think of postal wraps as a hybrid between a box and an envelope. They’re designed to tightly wrap around flat items such as books, DVDs, jigsaws, or board games. Our postal wraps feature a self-sealing strip, eliminating the need for additional tape and saving time during the packing process.
5. **Postal Tubes**
Postal tubes aren’t just for posters anymore! They’re great for shipping longer or oddly shaped items, such as golf clubs, kitchen tools, or even umbrellas. These tubes have plastic end caps to secure the contents, but if you're sending heavier items, we recommend using extra tape for added stability.
