Advantages of Multi-Product Packaging



\
Multi-product packaging is the practice of placing multiple products into one container, box or package. Advantages and benefits of multiple-product packaging include:

·         It’s simple and can be standardised
·         It’s consumer friendly and easy to open
·         It’s time and cost effective
·         It’s environmentally friendly

Here are three reasons why you should consider multi-product packaging for your products:

Adaptable
Multi-product packaging can be adapted to suit a variety of products.
Customised protective inserts are a versatile and practical
solution to a wide range product line.

If you have products with different packaging requirements, you can standardise the external package and customise the internal packaging with protective inserts. PPI can design and engineer protective inserts for freight fragile, odd shaped and even hazardous items which are all 100% recyclable.

You can select from small, medium or large external package sizes, depending on your products. Remember to keep the size as small as possible to save on shipping costs which are based on size and weight.

Creates Brand Consistency
Multi-product packaging can enhance your brand reputation! Complex products with multiple components can often arrive in separate packages of different shapes, sizes and colours. Standardising your packages into one efficient box or package will result in a streamlined consumer experience when receiving, opening and reviewing their products.

Consistency makes your brand feel more professional and dependable to consumers. Creating a consistent package that consumers can easily recognise also builds brand awareness and trust.    

Cost Effective
Multi-product packaging is more economical than individually packaging your products into different boxes. Individual packaging can increase the risk of items getting lost in the mail or arriving at different times. Lost items not only puts customer satisfaction at risk but can also incur frustrating replacement costs. 

Multi-product packaging allows you to better predict the cost of shipping and will reduce the need for storage space. This is particularly cost efficient when using outsourced storage spaces for stock – the more storage space saved the better!

Environmentally Friendly
Packaging waste is not only expensive but consumers who are energy conscious often make active choices to avoid excess packaging. This could be the difference between choosing your product or a competitors’. 

Multi-product packaging can help you save packaging resources, especially if your product line changes regularly and it’s difficult to predict how many orders you need to bulk-buy packaging for. Standardising your package sizes and adapting the protective inserts per product range can help you to reduce waste. Any excess pre-ordered containers can be used and adapted for other product ranges.
