How can we protect fragile items from damage?
Thanks to dynamic development of e-commerce and increasing number of transactions online, interior design stores are facing a tough challenge. Shipping interior design products is not easy, because most of those products are very vulnerable to damage: vases or plates, that is only part of fragile products available in stock in these types of stores. Damage of the products during transport might lead to complaints and dissatisfaction from clients, which can cause financial losses.
In that case, how did we make sure that in one of the biggest interior design stores, small porcelain ornaments and also mirrors of good sizes, or paintings, are delivered in impeccable condition? The answer is simple: air fillers from Air Protect System appeared in the packages.
Unaesthetic protection of packages can be the reason of negative company reception.
Store employees were using popular materials for packing, such as bubble wrap and paper shavings. Even though these solutions ensured a certain level of security, they did not meet the expectations in terms of aesthetics and took too much space in storage.
Additionally, clients were facing problems with utilisation – big amounts of package protection often overfilled rubbish bins, which caused frustration and negative shopping experiences.
Why is it worth changing your package fillers?
The store wanted to secure their unique interior design products in a way equally special. The company was looking for a method to improve the aesthetics of sent packages, at the same time searching for a solution to improve the work of people packing the parcels.
A two-week period began, during which air mats and devices for production of air fillers were tested.
After the trial period, Director of Logistics in that company decided that in an online store offering products from interior design sector, better than the previously used air fillers, air fillers from Standard offer of Air Protect System would work better. ”It is easy to prepare them for use and they do not take as much space in storage as the solutions used so far” – he emphasized.
In this way, a bubble wrap and cardboard were replaced with our air fillers.
Benefits of replacing paper fillers with air fillers.
It turned out that in terms of price, APS air fillers are comparable with those previously used by this company. However, by changing paper fillers with air mats, the brand significantly gained in customers’ eyes. Users, while unpacking the package, were really impressed by the aesthetics with which their package was wrapped. They expressed this in comments related to transport on the store’s website.
Customers appreciated that air fillers do not leave dirt on the floor during unpacking the parcel, in contrast to paper shavings that leave a lot of dust. Additionally, the print on the foil simplified waste segregation for consumers, indicating to which bin the waste should go.
Eco-friendly void fillers for packages
Ecological solutions and aesthetics of our mats are the aspects that decided about choosing Air Protect System mats. Customers signalled that, if only there is a need, for example due to return of goods, the air fillers can be easily reused, as they do not lose their protective properties.
What is more, used film can be easily disposed of. You only need to puncture it, remove the air and throw it into the right container, which helps save space in the trash bin. All these reports from customers only confirmed for the store that they chose right form of protection for their parcels.
As a producer of air fillers, we constantly monitor planned changes in legislation and introduce required updates to our products in advance. From 2030, according to the planned guidelines of European Union regulations ‘’PPWR’’, packaging composition will have to contain at least 30% post-consumer regranulate.
Our products from ECO line are prepared for introduction of the above regulation.
