According to our e-commerce clients, the core pain points of e-commerce packaging are the difficulty in balancing costs, insufficient sturdiness, and lack of convenience. Cross-border e-commerce clients also need to cope with high logistics costs, insufficient overseas warehousing space, and inadequate environmental protection. Airplane boxes can effectively solve these pain points. Here are four reasons why airplane boxes are widely used in the e-commerce industry:
I. High cost-performance ratio and controllable
- Low material cost : Airplane boxes mainly use corrugated paper, which is inexpensive and easy to source. Compared with cardboard boxes and plastic packaging, the cost can be reduced by 30%-60%, making them especially suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and fast-moving consumer goods.
- Save on warehousing and transportation costs : When folded, it is only 1mm thick , and when stacked, it occupies only 1/10 of the space of a molded packaging box. Moreover, it is lightweight, allowing e-commerce warehouses to stock up on large quantities of goods and reduce the pressure of warehousing rental fees .
- Customizable : Supports various processes and sizes. Whether you want to print simple colors or complex brand information, we can customize it to your needs, making the best packaging at the most affordable price .
