As a distributor of goods, efficient shipping and handling that delivers the product safely to the customer is vital. The types of plastic packaging used in shipping directly affects the integrity of the product. Plastic packing material is also vital to showcase your product and attract customers to purchase.

With various options in plastic packaging material from which to choose, knowing the specific type of plastic packaging you need and what kinds fit into your budget are critical to cost-effective shipping and handling and product advertisement. Plastic packaging materials should:

1. Protect and showcase the product well

2. Be cost-effective

3. Be made of environmentally-friendly materials

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Choose plastic packaging that fits your product


Plastic packing material needs to fit your product securely to offer protection during shipping and handling procedures.

I recommend: Use bubble wrap from ULINE to create a barrier to cushion your product during shipping. A versatile product that can be used to protect various sized products, ULINE offers bubble wrap in different quantities and weights that are geared to protect specific sized products. A cost-effective choice, bubble wrap can also be reused by the client. If you need plastic tubes for your specialized products, VisiPak offers a nice variety of plastic packaging tubes at competitive prices.

Customize your plastic packing material


Customize plastic tubes and plastic bag material to showcase your logo and create brand recognition.

I recommend: Hire the professionals at Key Packaging Co. to design plastic packaging materials that highlight your brand and properly display your product. Key Packaging can customize the blister and clam shell types of plastic packaging to meet your specifications.

Use plastic packaging that is friendly to the environment


Being environmentally conscious in business is easier than ever with the eco-friendly types of plastic bag materials available for use.

I recommend: Adart Poly Bag, manufacturers of plastic bag materials since 1967, offer biodegradable plastic packaging at cost-effective prices. This brand of bag completely breaks down in landfills. EcoEndure offers plastic packaging in biodegradable polypropylene and plastic films that are made from corn. Ask for a sample of one of their packaging films.
