To help you get it right, here are the key do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for creating packaging that\u2019s both practical and customer-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Do\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Do Choose Durable Packaging Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/ecolite-cushioned-mailing-envelopes.html\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"371\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.splashpackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bubble-mailing-bags.jpg\" alt=\"bubble mailing bags\" class=\"wp-image-3458\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bubble-mailing-bags.jpg 371w, https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bubble-mailing-bags-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>E-commerce packages travel through various hands and environments before reaching your customer. Selecting sturdy materials, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morganchaney.com\/subscription-mailing-boxes\">corrugated boxes<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/ecolite-cushioned-mailing-envelopes.html\">padded mailers<\/a>, can prevent damage during transit. Don\u2019t forget to consider the weight and fragility of your items when choosing the right packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Do Include Protective Elements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep products secure, add protective layers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/bubble-pack-foam-wrap.html\">bubble wrap<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/accordion-paper-shred.html\">crinkle paper<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/newsprint-packing-paper.html\">packing paper<\/a>. Not only do these materials reduce the risk of damage, but they also show customers that you care about delivering their orders in perfect condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Do Focus on a Great Unboxing Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/tissue-paper-and-shreds.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.splashpackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/tissue-paper.jpg\" alt=\"tissue paper\" class=\"wp-image-3459 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/tissue-paper.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/tissue-paper-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/tissue-paper-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The unboxing moment is a golden opportunity to leave a lasting impression. Simple touches like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/tissue-paper-solid-colors.html\">tissue paper<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morganchaney.com\/custom-printed-labels-stickers\">branded stickers<\/a>, or a thank-you card can elevate the customer experience and encourage repeat business. Make it memorable, but don\u2019t overcomplicate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Do Consider Sustainability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>More consumers are prioritizing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.splashpackaging.com\/your-packaging-needs-to-be-more-sustainable-thankfully-its-not-hard-to-do\/\">eco-friendly practices<\/a>, so consider using recyclable or compostable packaging materials. Highlighting these efforts can also boost your brand\u2019s reputation and appeal to environmentally conscious shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Do Think About Branding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morganchaney.com\/custom-printed-labels-stickers\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.splashpackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Custom-Nocal-Label-Bag.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Noca Label Bag\" class=\"wp-image-3460 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Custom-Nocal-Label-Bag.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Custom-Nocal-Label-Bag-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Custom-Nocal-Label-Bag-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even stock packaging can carry your brand\u2019s personality with a few thoughtful additions. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morganchaney.com\/custom-printed-labels-stickers\">branded tape<\/a>, stickers, or inserts to remind customers who\u2019s behind their great experience. Consistency in your packaging design helps reinforce your brand identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Don\u2019t Oversize Your Packaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a box that\u2019s much larger than the product inside not only wastes materials but also increases shipping costs. It can even frustrate customers who dislike unnecessary waste. Always choose packaging that\u2019s appropriately sized for your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Don\u2019t Forget About Functionality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While aesthetics are important, functionality should never be compromised. Packaging that\u2019s difficult to open or doesn\u2019t hold up during transit will leave customers frustrated. Aim for a balance of form and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Don\u2019t Use Excessive Filler Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While protective fillers are essential, overstuffing a package with materials like bubble wrap or paper can be wasteful and inconvenient for the customer. Use just enough to secure the item without going overboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Don\u2019t Neglect Testing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before committing to a packaging style, test it under real-world conditions. Simulate the shipping process to ensure the packaging holds up and keeps your products safe. Skipping this step can lead to costly mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Don\u2019t Ignore Costs Entirely<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s tempting to prioritize premium materials and intricate designs, keep an eye on your budget. Aim for a balance that\u2019s cost-effective without sacrificing quality or the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashpackaging.com\/shipping-ecommerce-supplies.html\">e-commerce packaging<\/a> isn\u2019t just about protecting your products\u2014it\u2019s about creating an experience that reflects your brand and values.
