Retail Packaging Formats for Garden Watering Products

Blister Card Is the Peg Wall Default

Blister card is what almost every fitting and spray gun in this catalogue ships on. It hangs, it shows the product, it protects the moving parts and it packs flat at 240 pieces per carton for small fittings. If a watering wall has a consistent look, it is usually because one supplier's blister format runs across most of it.

Double Blister Is for Products Handled in the Aisle

The timers use a double blister, which seals the product between two formed shells. It costs more than a card and it is the right answer for a product customers pick up and turn over before buying.

Colour Box Is for Bulk and for Gifting

Reels, carts and larger sprinklers ship in colour boxes. A box stacks, it carries more printed surface for feature callouts, and it survives being moved around a stockroom. It also sets the CBM, which for these items is the dominant cost.

Tie On Card and Plastic Shrink

Long products such as water wands use a tie on card so the product is visible along its length. Hose coils use plastic shrink, five pieces per carton, which keeps a pallet display tidy without the cost of individual boxes.

Choose the Format Before the Artwork

Format decides card size, which decides artwork, which decides tooling cost. Deciding it at range review rather than after sample approval is the single easiest way to keep a private label programme on budget.
