Starting an ecommerce business? Great. But if you’re not careful, packaging can make or break your customer experience.
People care about how their package arrives. And it’s more than just protection. It’s presentation, brand, and feel.
So, what are the essentials you just can’t ignore? Here’s your list.
1. Mailing Boxes
This one’s obvious. But not all boxes are created equal. The wrong choice? Damaged goods. Lost customers. Negative reviews.
- Options: Die Cut Boxes, RSC Boxes, Heavy Duty Corrugated Boxes.
- Best Uses: Electronics, apparel, subscription boxes – anything that needs extra care.
According to a survey by Dotcom Distribution, 40% of consumers said branded packaging makes them more likely to recommend a product. So, choose wisely.
2. Packaging Tape
Sounds basic, but it’s critical. And it’s not just about sealing a box.
- Options: Crystal Clear Tape, Brown Tape, Fragile Tape.
- Best Uses: Mailing boxes, poly mailers, packaging that requires extra durability.
Nupack’s packaging tapes come with strong adhesion and a shelf life of up to 2 years. Keep your products safe. Simple.
3. Bubble Mailers
These are your go-to for lightweight, delicate items.
- Options: Poly Bubble Mailers, Kraft Bubble Mailers.
- Best Uses: Cosmetics, electronics, jewelry, and fragile products.
The e-commerce packaging market is projected to grow by over 20% in the next five years. Bubble mailers are a big part of that.
4. Compostable Mailers
The eco-friendly choice. And increasingly, the preferred choice.
- Options: Nupack’s compostable mailers – tough, durable, moisture-resistant.
- Best Uses: Apparel, soft goods, items that don’t need rigid protection.
67% of consumers prefer to buy from brands that use recyclable or eco-friendly packaging. Going green isn’t just a trend. It’s a necessity.

Details matter. And a polished, branded label can be the difference between good and great.
