Trends in Packaging: Sustainable, Economical, Personal

E-Commerce That’s Eco-Friendly

As consumers around the world become more aware of environmental crises that affect the globe, they want to see packaging that is eco-friendly as well as engaging. In fact, many consumers are willing to spend more with a business or company that they know is environmentally responsible. Plus Packaging is happy to offer eco-friendly packaging options for green-minded businesses. Among our product offering of eco-friendly packaging materials, shoppers will find:

  • Customizable paper bags made from 100% recycled materials
  • Reusable non-woven bags made of non-allergenic, non-corrosive, and non-toxic canvas and nylon
  • Plastic bags made from up to 40% recycled material and 20% non-petroleum calcium filter
  • Various products made from recyclable materials like banana leaves and corn resin

E-Commerce That’s Eco-Friendly

A common customer frustration stems from excessive packaging, and fiscally responsible companies are foregoing bulky shipping boxes and opting for lightweight mailing bags. Plus Packaging allows you to personalize mailing bags with logos and designs so that your packaging can be light and appealing.

Consumer-Friendly Packaging That’s Frustration-Free

The thrill of receiving and unwrapping a package can be immediately depressing when you feel like you need bolt cutters to open it. With products like easy zip pouches or perforated mailing bags, you can ensure that your customer associates your product with positivity and convenience, not frustration.

Packaging That’s Professional and Personalized

As more and more people go online or use mail order, stock packaging does nothing to build up a memorable brand. Good looking, quality packaging with pleasing, distinctive images is often reused – when re-gifting, for example – which opens up the potential for your name and brand to reach brand new customer bases. These are the types of opportunities that should never be passed up.

Packaging That’s a Plus for Your Online Business

Having provided quality custom packaging and shipping products for over four decades, Plus Packaging is always at the forefront of the latest packaging trends and demands, especially when it comes to creating a memorable brand and unwrapping experience. Whether you’re an online clothing retailer, a gourmet eatery, or a pharmaceutical company, we’re happy to help your name stand out with branded packaging and shopping products.
