The Hidden Costs of Inefficient Packaging
Packing orders shouldn't be complicated. But when parcels aren't packed efficiently, many ecommerce businesses face these challenges:
- High Shipping Costs: Sending oversized boxes means paying for air, not products.
- Wasted Packaging Materials: Using unnecessary materials increases both costs and environmental impact.
- Time-Consuming Fulfilment: Manually selecting box sizes adds time to the packing process.
- Inconsistent Customer Experience: Oversized boxes can create poor unboxing experiences and damage brand reputation.
Smart Boxing: The Solution for Smarter Packaging
Interparcel's Smart Boxing feature is the ultimate solution for ecommerce businesses struggling with wasted parcel space, high shipping costs, and overall inefficient packaging. Here's how Smart Boxing can help:
- Lower Your Shipping Costs: Our algorithm ensures you're not paying for air by selecting the most efficient box size for your orders. Say goodbye to wasted space and unnecessary shipping expenses.
- Save Time with Automation: Smart Boxing instantly calculates the best pre-entered box size based on the product dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit in seconds.
- Reduce Packaging Waste: By using only the necessary materials, you minimise waste and adopt a more eco-friendly shipping strategy.
How Smart Boxing Works
- Step 1: Log in to your Interparcel account, hover over the Shipping Tools tab, and select eCom Platforms. Ensure your ecommerce platform is connected.
- Step 2: Select the Inventory tab and import your product weight and dimensions from your store. You can upload them via CSV or add them manually.
- Step 3: Click the Smart Boxing tab and select Add New Box. Enter the dimensions for all the different shipping boxes or parcels you use.
- Step 4: Enable Smart Boxing by toggling the Enable/Disable Smart Boxing button. Once activated, the algorithm will automatically determine the perfect box for your products in every order, which you can view in the Shipping Manager tab.
