A Guide to Shipping Electronic Items


When it comes to shipping electronics, be sure to keep in mind that electronic items often contain many parts that are extremely small and fragile. While these parts may be contained in some sort of case, usually these cases are made of hard plastic that might break or dent easily if it is not properly packed during shipping. However, by familiarizing yourself with the best methods of shipping electronics and making sure that you have the correct shipping supplies, you will have a better chance of shipping your electronic items without risk of damage.



The first step to shipping an electronic item is to disassemble the item as much as you possibly can. For example, if you are shipping a printer you should remove the paper tray and any cords from the printer. Each of the pieces you separate should be put into separate labeled bags so that you do not mix them up. If your item contains knobs or other parts that you cannot remove, use extra bubble wrap to cover these pieces. You should also check to see if your item is hollow inside. If so, you should fill the hollow space with packing materials. If you are packing cords you should bundle them together and secure them with twist ties so as to minimize the amount of space they require. The next step is to pack the larger pieces of equipment. You should use two layers of bubble wrap so as to completely cover the item. Secure the wrap with a strong and durable packaging tape.


After you have disassembled the item and properly packaged the individual pieces, you can begin to pack them into a large box for shipment. Gather all appropriate shipping supplies such as packing peanuts and packaging tape. You should fill about half of the box with packing peanuts and then place the largest item in the box. Cover approximately one third of that item with additional packing peanuts. Now you can begin placing the additional electronic components in the box. Be sure to keep the items from touching each other. It is essential that you use packing peanuts for your electronic items. Do not try to substitute paper as it is not an efficient packing material for electronic items.


Once you have put all of your items in the box, fill the rest of it with packing peanuts. Following this step, close the box and gently shake it so as to determine if your items will move around. If they do move around, reposition your items and add more packing peanuts. After you have secured your items, you are ready to close the box and seal it with tape.

The final step is to place your original box into a second box that is about one to two inches larger. You should have a thin layer of packing peanuts in the new box before you place the original box inside it. After you have put the original box inside the new one, you should fill any empty space with additional packing peanuts. As before, you should check for any movement and repack the box if necessary. After completing this step, you are ready to close the box. You should be sure to seal it with plenty of tape so as to completely secure your package.

Boxes for Clothing and luxury Products

 One thing that fast fashion has started to get us indoctrinated in is that they usually use just a small plastic or even a paper bag that’s very sparse. 

Some of the more high-end and medium level stores change this. Whether it’s clothing that’s designer, or accessories of all kinds, the boxes along with the packaging provide the brands a sort of business card that they will want to take advantage of, offering a surprise that makes busters happy and grateful.



Here are some good ideas for you to consider, and some options to bring high-end clothes and the like to consumers, enhancing the unboxing experience while bringing a whole bunch of different aspects to this. 

Our first example is Gucci.  You’ve probably heard about this Italian brand, as they offer a style that’s unmistakable, while also being of the highest quality and the materials that get used to enhance not just the product, but this presentation too. Packaging is, of course, a major element to this.

Boxes with lids for example might be simple, but there is something unique about this. with plain colors and background patterns that aren’t mistaken in the least, along with a logo that’s visible and a bow used to close will shock the world and provide the best packaging. 

This is something that’s great for those looking to use beautiful packaging, and really enhances the brand itself. 

Then there is the channel, which is basically the competitor brand.  They are competitors in the world of fashion, perfumes, and a lot.  They focus on hitting the core.  Their products come in a white box without any marks, and there are small contours along the sides, along with their logo painted in black.  It’s simple, but it does offer a glamorous tone to the packaging that can’t be best. 

Then there is Aldo, which is another company that’s mostly focused on different ideas that they took from the food sectors.  This is a company that sells neckties and various ties, but what they like to do is provide the tie or bow tie in a beautiful package, and a window that shows off the product itself.  This is a unique type of packaging, and really showcases that yes, the sky’s the limit when you start to look at some of the ways you can bring packaging to your world. 



Motoluxe, which is a sportswear brand in Britain, does offer a unique spice to this, offering a box with straps that come in both greens and yellows, and also have a way for the logo to show up in different formats too. In a few cases, it’s not super straightforward on what’s inside, especially since it might contain fountain pens or underwear.  This is a unique, luxury packaging however that really shows off a chic, unique way to this, and a connotation that can’t be beaten. 

Finally, we’ve got Stanteria, which is a unique type of packaging.  It’s different from other brands.  Stanteria is a clothing brand that provides some classic t-shirts that also are pretty fancy. The box is not just a great way to carry the products, but it also is almost like an accessory and fashion statement that goes beyond mere containment, as you can repurpose the product for this to be a lot more unique, and even use it for other various beauty products.



A lot of people do like to go to luxury, and these brands provide something unique to the table, offering a fun, great way for you to improve your unboxing experience as well.
