Box On Demand Services Makes Shipping Bulky Furniture And Cabinetry A Breeze

If you’re in the business of shipping goods, then you know the logistical nightmare it can become. For starters, you’ll often need a warehouse dedicated to storing the cardboard boxes required to place your items into before sending them out to consumers. Given that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to shipping, this means you’ll need a wide variety of box sizes on hand to find the one that’s right for your product. This requires additional employees and man-hours, as you’ll need people managing the cardboard inventory and tracking down the right size box for the product that’s going in the mail. Now imagine that you’ve got to move large furniture or custom cabinetry: How are you going to find the time to track down the right boxes to fit these items into? Moreover, how are you even going to fill all the excess space left over in these enormous packages. With box on demand services, such concerns quickly evaporate.

By choosing to use box on demand services, you’ll have access to a custom box-making machine that’s going to be situated right alongside your pack line. As an item nears shipment, you’ll be able to use packaging design software to assist with the shipping and management process. From there, a box on demand will be created and you’ll have a safe, secure and convenient way of sending your oversized item in the mail. The contours of a couch, for example, are going to make finding a box that fits right a difficult task. The same goes for cabinets, as you’ll have to protect them from damage while not wanting to pay for an oversized box that’s loaded up with bubble wrap and packing peanuts.

Since it’s likely that you’ll be sending out more than one of the same couch or kitchen cabinet, the best box on demand services also allow you to run batches of boxes with the same dimensions. It is in these instances that box on demand services pay off in dividends: You’ll have the ability to create a box from corrugated material that will be designed with the assistance of your packaging design software vendor. That means additional input and advice for a process that admittedly takes some getting used to. However, your vendor will also help get you accustomed to the process so you’re creating environmentally-friendly boxes and saving money in no time. For business owners or shipping manages, it simply makes sense to have a custom box-making machine available when it’s time to send out important and odd-shaped packages. The alternative is costly and unwieldy boxes that could leave your product prone to damages.
