Enterprise packaging is a process that involves the use of multiple materials to create an end product. Enterprise packaging is normally used for the following reasons:
To protect and preserve a product during transportation. This can be done by using different types of materials such as plastic, paper, or cardboard. The type of material depends on what kind of products are being shipped. For example, if it’s food, you would use plastics to prevent contamination from bacteria, etc. If it’s medicine, then you’d want something that protects against moisture loss.
To make sure that the product arrives in good condition. You don’t want your customers receiving damaged goods, so this is why they will usually have some tracking system that allows them to track where their package has been at all times.
To ensure that there isn’t any tampering with the contents inside. By putting security seals around the outside of the box, you’re making sure that no one opens up the package without permission. Also, when shipping items over long distances, you may need to put an airtight seal around the container to keep out humidity.
To protect against theft. When people see how expensive certain things are, they tend to think about stealing them. So having a strong lock on the door makes sense because most thieves won’t risk breaking into a house to steal a few dollars worth of stuff.
To help reduce waste. It’s not always possible to recycle everything, but sometimes we get lucky and find ways to reuse old packaging. For instance, many companies now sell recycled boxes instead of new ones. They’ll take the old boxes and turn them into other useful objects like storage bins.
To save money. Sometimes manufacturers offer discounts to businesses who buy large quantities of their products. These discounts could range anywhere between 10% – 50%. In return, these business owners agree to purchase more than usual.
