Ecommerce Packaging Strategies for High-Volume Shipping

Shipping thousands of orders every month changes everything about how you package products. What works for ten packages a day falls apart at a hundred. Your team wastes time wrestling with oversized boxes, damaged goods come back as returns, and shipping costs keep climbing because you're paying to ship empty space.

You likely did it for freedom. Maybe to build something of your own. Or to spend more time with family. Maybe you did it because you were brave enough to back yourself. And you’re not alone.

For a long time, the digital world felt pretty much like the Wild West. Tech companies raced to see who could grab the most "eyeballs," using every trick in the book to keep us scrolling, clicking, and refreshing. But things are starting to feel different lately. You might have noticed it yourself—a nudge to take a break after an hour on a video app, or a weekly report telling you exactly how many hours you’ve spent staring at your phone.
