How to Ship Funko Pops

 If you’re someone who sells Funko pops, you might wonder about how to ship them. You’re not alone.

There are a few ways to ship them so that they stay protected and offer a better unboxing result for the customer at hand.

One at A Time 

This is one that’s a good one if the item is fragile, and it’s one that’s worth a lot.  You need to look at the space. It’s ideal to ensure that you’ve got enough padding for this, such as bubble wrap, and if you’re going to put anything else in there, you want to; make sure it fits.

However, you don't want it to be so big that the item bounces around and gets marred. A box is the best way to add a Funko pop, and you can even get them with locking tabs, to create the unboxing experience that you want to create.

You can wrap the pop in a bubble wrap, secure this with some tape, and then, you can add some tissue outside of this to add further protection. Some people might even use tissue paper that's a costume to make this memorable.

From there, you just put them in the box, and add anything else that you need. You can stand this in an upright fashion, or on its back, whatever you want.

Obviously, you can then add the other personalised items, and the buyer will remember that the moment they open it.

For Two Pops 

If you’re shipping out two Funko pops, then you can get a slightly bigger box to make this work.

The correct box for shipping is one that fits all of these. Stock boxes that are made from corrugated fiber, or even mailer boxes are good for this.

The ideal way to do this, is to wrap this so it’s like they’re being shipped one at a time. Put them in the box, and then add the customised paper to this, then add the Funko pops in there, wrapping this material around each of them. Finish this off with the thank-you card, and then some packing tape to help with sealing this one.

Three  at Once 

Okay, so you’re going to have some people who buy these Funko pops as package deals.  In that instance, you’ll need to find a box that fits all three of these. A corrugated box, or a mailer that’s made with corrugated fibers are good. They accommodate all of that, without giving too little, or too much space within that box.

You should wrap the Funko pops the way that you’ve done before, and then, separate each of these with more bubble wrap. That way they’re not bouncing into each other.

Once they’re secured, you’ll want to seal this, either with packaging tape or customized tape.  Water-activated tape is good for this because it provides some extra security, and it’s good too if you want to offer a more branded experience for your customers too. 

And there you have it. If you end up selling a lot of these, just increase the box size so that you put enough in there, and then, once you put all of that together, you can then ship it out.

Collectibles are still super popular, and a lot of people do collect Funko pops. In that case, you want to make sure that they’re shipped out in a way that fits the needs of the company. Go custom and create a means for you to really improve on this, so that it’s even better than you’ve had before.

Items Together, or separately

This is something that a lot of companies wonder about when they get multiple orders from customers. The goal is to get it to the customer’s hands as fast as they can. What do you do about the instance of multiple orders? Do you ship them in just one box? Or do you do them separately.

Solo Is Better Here 

If you’re someone who is trying to figure out when to ship out the items solo, you’re not alone.

Items that are larger and more fragile should be solo. For instance, let’s take a TV that’s flatscreen. If you’re going to ship this out, you need to add a lot of inserts including Styrofoam to every single corner, some foam, and even air pillows to secure this. putting it alone in a shipping box is always a better way, as it prevents the item from getting bumped. If you’re packaging anything that’s fragile, you want to make sure that you prevent damage to the other types of items that are there, jostling this product.

The second one, is partial orders. Fi the item isn’t in stock, you want to ship out what you can immediately.  That way, the order isn’t going to be held up due to backorder. If you tell the customer early on that they’ll be getting this soon, then they can get part of it, and then the second half once the items there. 

When to Package things together. 

There are a few instances where you can actually package these items together, and it’s important to understand that it doesn’t work for everything. 

One common way, iOS if you’re trying to scrape by on shipping costs. Shipping and handling of the boxes will cost a lot more the more boxes that you have remember, if you’re trying to save a little bit of money, you can package the items together, provided that they’re packaged securely.

Now, while larger items should be solo, there are some items that are small and fragile that can be put together, provided that you use the correct packaging materials. 

If you’re shipping out some dishes for instance, adding some foam sheets will help make this better in terms of protection, and much stronger especially if they’re packaged together in a tight manner. Foam in either sheets and pouches will also help with absorbing shock, and it prevents the products from damaging and touching one another. Provided that you do it right, you can package them together.

If you’re shipping out wholesale items for reselling at retailers, then you Can put everything together. Shipping these out in large amounts also saves you a lot of money. That’s because you’re not trying to ship everything out individually. This reduces the costs of the product greatly too, as the fees for shipping are very easy for you to recoup as well.

If there are ways to package them together, then you should try to do it for the most part.

However, if you find that you’re having trouble with getting items that are packaged together out to customers in a way that saves you money, you’re not alone. This is for a fulfillment and shipping company that creates efficient and consistent processes. Fulfillment warehouses will keep the product within their inventory, and once you’ve figure out a way for you to ship it, you can have them do this, and from there, they’ll be able to get the product out to others as fast as they can, in a way that benefits them for the most part as much as they can.
