Fortunately, our packaging specialists have you covered! We put together the best options for your custom packaging needs while being mindful of your wallet!
As you familiarise yourself with the various options, keep these 3 influential elements in mind for your decision-making:

Budget
We understand budget can be the ultimate deal-breaker when it comes to making your business decisions.
To make things easier for you, we divided our products into 2 main categories: boxes and bags. Simple right? Within each section we’ve ranked each item to represent their level of cost-effectiveness, starting with the lowest.
- Folding cartons
- Corrugated boxes
- Rigid boxes
- Kraft paper bags
- White cardboard paper bags
- Non-woven reusable bags
- Cooler bags
- Specialty material bags (hemp, canvas, Kraft woven, etc.)
Although your budget will have a major influence on your decisions, don’t forget you still need to consider your purpose and industry before you make the final decision!
Purpose
When most people think of the purpose of packaging, they don’t give it enough attention. When it all boils down to it, packaging is a vehicle for your products to get to their final destination – but what do you want your packaging to represent?
For instance, if you answered a 1-time give out, we would recommend a lightweight Kraft paper bag because it is very cost-effective for single-use purposes.
Kraft paper bags are 100% biodegradable, reusable and recyclable. Many paper bags have the ability to withstand more pressure and weight than plastic bags so you can still guarantee good quality for your products!
Reusable bags are a great way to guarantee long-lasting publicity for your brand because of their durability! You can achieve your purpose of being cost-effective and clearly communicate that you are eco-friendly with your customers.
Industry
Our corrugated items are biodegradable, lightweight, sturdy, economical, and provide great protection in transport! Other industry specific examples include:
Cooler Bags – ideal for all food industries as they are heavyweight, provide long-lasting publicity and guarantee freshness!
Paper Cones – perfect for packaging bouquets in an eco-friendly manner. It’s time to ditch the cellophane!
Rigid Boxes – a high-end optioned to convey a high-end brand. Think of perfumes, gourmet food items, and other gifts!
Likewise, you can determine the needs of your industry, your product and narrow down your options!
