Why And Where To Buy Packaging Supplies

Well if you are sending parcels then I guess that you are buying in packaging supplies.

When sending even the most basic of parcels you will be using some form of cardboard box, bubble wrap and parcel tape. It does not matter what size your parcel is, the requirements are pretty much the same the World over.

Where you choose to buy your packaging supplies is up to you, however you might want to consider the following points:

1) Buying packaging supplies from your local corner shop - They might be handy but they will also be charging several hundred percent more than a specialist stationery supplier. Also they will only carry minimal supplies, and may well run out, and seem to let you down at a crucial time.

2) Buying your supplies from a Stationery superstore - This is often the best option for small to medium size companies. However whilst they will still be far cheaper than your local corner shop they can still be expensive.

3) Buying your supplies from an online retailer - For medium size companies this will often be the best option. They will offer good prices, often with free delivery and will hold substantial stocks of packaging supplies, so they should not run out. The downside is that you will have to wait until at least the next day for delivery.

4) Buy all of your packaging, such as cardboard boxes and packing tape direct from the manufacturer. In doing so you will get the best prices, however you will have to be buying in substantial volumes to do so.

All of the above information should see you spending less on your packaging.
