E-commerce Despatch Packaging

Choosing the right mailer for each SKU so parcels arrive intact and freight stays down

Overview

Why This Matters

Despatch packaging is an arithmetic problem before it is a design problem. The right answer is the lightest pack that still delivers the product intact, and it is usually different for every SKU group in the warehouse.

In Detail

What Happens Step By Step

  1. 1

    Sort The SKU Mix

    Split the catalogue into soft goods, small hard goods and fragile goods. Each group needs a different pack, and buying one mailer for all three overspends on two of them.

  2. 2

    Size From The Product

    Measure the product flat and add the working allowance. Standard charts PM-1 to PM-7 and AS-CD1 to AS-LARGE BOOK cover most cases, and special sizes are made where they do not.

  3. 3

    Choose The Construction

    Poly mailer for soft goods, bubble mailer for small hard goods, kraft outer where a paper based pack is required.

  4. 4

    Set The Print

    One or two colour surface printing keeps the branded pack close to the price of a plain one.

  5. 5

    Trial Pack Before Volume

    Run a week of real orders through sample bags before committing to a pallet quantity.

  6. 6

    Fix The Carton Quantity

    Master carton counts run from 50 to 1000 pieces depending on size. Set them against how your pack bench is replenished.
