For most businesses, one of the most important aspects of operating successful centres around finding ways to save money. Saving money with a business typically means lower overhead costs and consequently more profit for the business. It is critical for businesses to look for ways to do things not only better but also cheaper where possible. When it comes to saving money within your business, sourcing custom items and supplies can often seem in conflict with the notion of saving money, but at Express Packaging we can show you how it is entirely possible to source custom cardboard packaging in a way that still helps your business to save money overall.
Bigger Quantities Help Reduce Your Costs Per Item
One of the simplest and most effective ways to save money with custom packaging is to purchase in higher volumes. As a general rule, when more of an item is purchased, the final cost per unit will also decrease. Suppliers are usually better able to reduce the cost of raw materials when they purchase in bulk, which means they can pass those savings on to the customer with the final product. They can also amortize the costs such as transport, storage and setup costs over a larger number of items which again helps drive the cost per item price down.

Saving Money With a Better Fitting Custom Box
Another key way that businesses can save money with custom cardboard packaging is by harnessing the ability to get the perfect sized box custom designed to fit the item that is being put inside the box and this can have huge effects on the overall cost of your product packaging. By creating a custom designed cardboard box that is able to fit the products better, there is almost certainly less wasted space and materials than a box which may be unnecessarily large which can reduce materials cost in your packaging. Custom packaging also provides a far greater level of protection for the contents of the box. This can mean less risk of damage to the product during transport and storage and this creates less risk of the business being forced to absorb the cost of damaged products. Many products are extremely high value and the small additional cost of custom packaging can easily be offset by the reduced risk of replacing damaged high value or fragile items.
Saving Money By Using Your Box as a Selling Tool
A key way to help save money with custom cardboard boxes and custom cardboard packaging is by using that custom packaging with a dual purpose of working as a selling tool for your business. The opportunity to add custom printing to your custom cardboard box is a powerful branding and marketing opportunity. Custom printed graphics on your custom box are encountered by a range of different people during their product lifetime. They will not only be seen by the end consumer, but also all the individuals responsible for handling your box when the product is shipped from your business to your end customer. This opportunity to harness the marketing power of your custom box can be comparatively very low cost when considered against other marketing opportunities available and can often achieve a high value result with a very low value cost to your business.
