Choosing the proper packaging method for a product is often a source of confusion; however, following the correct steps and methods throughout the cosmetic box manufacturing process can make a significant difference. You should be able to expect your product to arrive at its destination in the same condition in which it was shipped, regardless of what type of product you are shipping. A strict set of safety standards must be followed in the manufacture of cosmetic boxes, and any company wishing to sell them must also adhere to these standards. Follow these six simple steps to ensure that your product is packaged flawlessly each and every time die cut box is shipped out to its destination.
1. Formulate a plan of action.
It may seem obvious, but how cosmetic box space is organized in a distribution center can make a significant difference in the overall efficiency of the facility, regardless of how obvious it appears. In an ideal workspace, there should be enough space for the cosmetic box to be moved around and for all of the materials needed to construct the cosmetic box in question to be easily accessible.
Ample storage space or pegboards should be provided in the workspace in order to allow for the safe storage of a diverse range of materials, as different types and sizes of products will nece sitate the use of a diverse range of materials. When you keep your cosmetic box space well-stocked and organized, you'll be amazed at how much time it can save you during the manufacturing process.
2. Take a precise measurement of the area
Prepare your product for shipment by first measuring it and selecting the shipping box that will be used to transport it from its starting point until it reaches its final destination. Once the dimensions of your product have been determined, multiply the width, height, and length of each dimension by approximately 2 inches to arrive at the most appropriate box size. Making sure you have enough space to individually wrap each product and fill your box with additional padding will ensure that your goods are well-protected during shipping.
3. Make a decision on what to do.
After you've taken all of the necessary measurements for your product or products, it's time to choose the most appropriate box for each of those measurements. From Hughes, you can choose from a wide range of corrugated cosmetic boxes, each of which can be used in a variety of products and industries. The fact that they are designed to be strong and durable means that they are one of the most commonly used and safest cosmetic box materials on the market today. We recommend that you consult our package size chart to ensure that you are ordering the correct size box for your needs. If you are looking for a specific size or style that is not currently available on our website, we have a large selection of custom corrugated cosmetic boxes available.
4. Take all of the necessary precautions to protect yourself.
After you've chosen your cosmetic box, it's time to think about how you'll keep your product safe while it is in transit. Selecting the protective cosmetic box that best meets the needs of your company from among the numerous options available should be done with caution. If you have any questions about whether bubble wrap, Instapak Foam cosmetic boxes, an Air Bag Inflation System, or one of our many other options is the best choice for your shipment, please contact a Hughes Representative. It is preferable to be extra cautious than to have your product damaged during transportation, to summarize.
If you are shipping more than one product in a box, make sure to individually wrap each product to prevent your merchandise from clinking against one another and causing damage to one another during shipping. When shipping fragile goods, it is critical to include enough cushioning in the shipping box to ensure that the products are protected from any shocks, vibrations, or jolts that may occur during the shipping process.
5. Bring the transaction to a close.
Once you have ensured that your product is adequately protected and that it has been properly packaged, the box should be sealed. Because neither cellophane nor duct tape are strong enough to properly seal your box, these materials are not recommended for use. To save time and money, you can look for cosmetic box tapes or adhesives that are suitable for the task at hand instead. Before sending your product out for shipping, double-check that the seal on it is completely sealed. In the area where the cosmetic box overlaps with the shipping box, apply 2-3 strips of tape to prevent the cosmetic box from opening during shipping and delivery. In addition to custom printed pressure sensitive tape, Hughes also offers custom printed Water Activated Tape (Gum Tape), both of which can aid in increasing brand recognition and increasing sales.
6. Attach a label to the object.
The fact that labeling is the final step does not take away from the importance of this step. To complete the process, double-check the mailing address of the person who will be receiving the package and attach the label to the top of the box. We recently published a blog post entitled, Adding Life to Your Products with Thermal Transfer Ribbons, which contains additional information on product labeling and labeling materials.
