In the age of Instagram and TikTok, the moment a customer receives your product is a marketing opportunity. “Unboxing” has become a phenomenon, where the packaging itself is as important as the item inside. At ALGO Printing, we help e-commerce businesses and retailers transform plain shipping boxes into memorable brand experiences using smart printing solutions.
Here is how to upgrade your packaging game without breaking the bank.
Seal the Deal with Stickers
Custom printed boxes can be expensive. A cost-effective alternative? High-quality stickers.
- Die-Cut Stickers: Turn your logo into a fun, shape-cut sticker. Place it on the outside of a plain box to instantly brand it.
- Roll Labels: Perfect for high-volume shipping. Use a branded “Thank You” or logo sticker to seal tissue paper wrapping inside the box.
- Tape Alternatives: Use long Vinyl Stickers to seal box flaps, adding security and color simultaneously.
The “Insert” Strategy
What goes inside the box drives the next sale. Don’t send a naked product.
- Thank You Cards: A simple Postcard with a personalized note makes customers feel valued. Add a discount code for their next purchase to boost retention.
- Care Instructions: Use Rack Cards or small Flyers to explain how to use or care for the product. This reduces support tickets and returns.
- Mini Catalogs: Slip in a Booklet showcasing your other products. It is the physical version of “You might also like…”
Product Labeling That Lasts
For makers of candles, cosmetics, or food items, the label is the face of the brand.
- Waterproof Labels: Essential for Bottle Labels (shampoo, drinks) or Candle Labels that need to withstand heat and moisture.
- Clear Stickers: Create a “no-label” look that lets the product texture shine through, perfect for glass jars.
Add a Surprise Gift (Swag)
Everyone loves a freebie. Including a small branded item can turn a one-time buyer into a loyal fan.
- Logo Stickers: Throw in a few extra Kiss-Cut Stickers for the customer to stick on their laptop or water bottle. It is free advertising for you.
- Magnets or Keychains: Small, low-cost promotional products that keep your brand in their daily life.
