Some people are changing the way they display inventory by adding in packaging that works in different ways. Multiple uses to ensure that it’s easier for businesses, customers, and store workers to navigate everything.
These are boxes that act as both display and storage, and are becoming all the rage here. Some of these include flip-lid trays that will open up and show what’s inside.
Another, is convertible crates that will convert these items into something else. Finally, there's hanging cartons, which are cartons that you use for shipping, and then just adjust and hang them up to display the items, doubling as not both a receptacle for shipping, but something useful as well.
No More Backroom Shelving
More and more businesses are starting to use this because it’s good for backroom shelving elimination.
When customers ask if it’s in “the back” a business can confidently say that no, it is not in the back, that the stock they have is what they see. While yes, it is good and reduces the stress on employees, it also saves a ton of space too. This can allow for businesses to improve their packaging, giving customers more options, and also will allow them to display more too. Plus, it also saves the sanity of a lot of employees as well.
Supplies for Reducing Time
With this type of packaging, you want those that reduce the time that it takes to set up. For some businesses, there is just so much that customers and other employees might go crazy too.
When you have supplies that reduce the setup time, everyone wins. Pre-labeled items are one example of this, where you label the items early on, and will help with ensuring that the items are properly delineated.
Modular as well, which means that they are molded and easier to manage. All of this works together to make the packaging efficient and effective, offering growth too.
Finally, there is mobility. Lots of mobile packaging is used. It makes sense, since these pop-up setups and store shelving need to be done fast, and making the packaging lightweight and mobile is really important, especially if time is of the essence.
Overall, corrugated and paperboard items are commonly used, with the brand and logo right there for people to see. Adding some unique, innovative colors is a good place to start, but there are tons of other ways to do this too.
The Best Ways to Use This
This type of packaging is used in a lot of quick-sale types of situations.
If a store that you’re delivering your packaging to is having an event, getting it set up quickly is a good place to start.
Another is farmers and flea markets. These are quick setup events, and you don’t want to waste time putting it together. Again, it works great, and offers so much in terms of unique ways for your packaging to stand out.
Temp retail spaces are another. Pop-up shops and mobile setups are all too common.
With this type of packaging, you want to make the branding quick, and the functionality instant. No games, no hoops to jump through, just a quick setup that works great for improving the space, ensuring that your inventory and smart supplies are driving forward all of the beneficial aspects of your packaging, however it might be.
Overall, packaging that doubles as this is becoming very popular. Using it means that your packaging setups will take the retail world by storm, so use it today and see what happens with your packaging next.
