The majority of the business across the world is moving to an online model. People are able to stay at home in their pajamas, read reviews about certain products, and then choose one to then get delivered to their door within a few days. This really is a luxury most people take for granted. Ordering things and then shipping boxes showing up at their door is truly an advanced way of doing business.

It has become so common so quickly that pretty much every business is expected to offer this same luxury to keep up with their competitors. Especially during a time where everyone is isolating and cannot visit storefronts, it is important to be able to send packages directly to customers. The thing is, shipping boxes vary greatly, and it is up to the business owner to decide what type of boxes to keep on hand for shipping. It would be smart to keep a few options on hand for different shipments.

Easy-fold Mailers.

These types of boxes are great for bookstores because books and magazines fit right into them. The boxes are scored in multiple different places for easy flexibility in the shipping process. The customer can browse the type of books they want and then the employees can find the book in the store, package it in the mailer, and send it on the way to the customer. Depending on the books size, multiple books can fit into one box for easy shipping.

Telescopic Boxes.

These boxes are useful for awkward shaped things. These types of boxes are adjustable and can be adjusted for any shipments. They are also good for heavy shipments because of the overlap on the bottom. Multiple things can be packed in these boxes for minimal shipping containers for the same order.

Heavy-duty Boxes.

For bigger products, heavy duty boxes are best. People who are buying big products like furniture still need the product to be shipped to them. Some boxes can even hold products fifty pounds or more. It doesn’t need to just be big items like furniture, though. Smaller products that weigh more can be shipped in a smaller size heavy-duty box. This can be things like gym weights or heavy decorative pieces.

Store owners should know the type of products they are shipping and what type of boxes work best for those products. They need to have variety in boxes as well, so they can instantly ship any orders that come in.
