Selecting the right sized packaging for your business is vital. For many businesses, packaging is a huge factor which needs to be given careful consideration. Every business has differing packaging needs, with varying product ranges in size and weight. It’s important to get your packaging right for your products to ensure your products are protected in transit and your packaging is as cost-effective and as eco-friendly as possible.

Right sized packaging can be approached in a number of ways; the first is with custom sized packaging, this is ideal for business with a few core product lines that ship via LTL freight or their own truck.
