E-commerce packaging
Packs shipped direct must survive transit and still create a good first impression.
Why it matters
Primary protects and presents the product, secondary groups units or adds shelf presence, and tertiary handles transport. E-commerce often merges secondary and shipping.
How to apply it
- Design for drops and handling
- Right-size to reduce void fill
- Add a branded moment inside, not just outside
Common mistakes
- Retail packs shipped without protection
- Oversized shipping boxes
