4 Reasons to Use Custom Packing Boxes

December 4, 2008 by admin

If you’ve ever seen a moving and shipping company offer custom packing boxes, you may have wondered why anyone would need such a thing. After all, boxes are everywhere. You can get them for free at the grocery store or local boutique. The post office gives them away by the bundle. Why would someone buy custom packing boxes?

There are four great reasons to use custom packing boxes.

Reason #1: Custom packing boxes minimize breakage in transit

There’s nothing worse than opening a box only to find yourself facing a spiky collection of broken pieces. This often happens because objects were shipped in a box that was too large, allowing the item to shift in transit and thereby be damaged; conversely, a box that’s too small doesn’t allow adequate space for packing materials to protect the contents. Custom packing boxes are just the right size.

Reason #2: Custom packing boxes save money

Shippers charge by the size of the package being transported. Using custom packing boxes allows you to only pay for the size box you absolutely need. Save your hard earned money for something wonderful — not for shipping oversized boxes!

Reason #3: Custom packing boxes save space

Generally, one only orders the amount of custom packing boxes one needs: there’s no need to store extra boxes. Compare this to the post office, which provides standard size boxes in bundles of 25. If you only need 5 boxes, what are you going to do with the extra 20?

Reason #4: Custom packing boxes enhance your professional image

How do you want your customers to view their order? If it arrives in a recycled liquor bottle, you’re not going to win any points for professionalism! Using custom packing boxes denotes that you’re a serious business, with products and services well worth the money.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
