Similar to typical bubble wrapping paper, paper wrap can be used to package a variety of products. From really delicate objects to oddly shaped ones and all in between.

smoking sweethearts.

— alex turner.

— 💌 MASTERLIST!

She held the cigarette between her fingers, blowing out the smoke as she exhaled before leaning her back against the wall. She hummed in response to Breana’s story, the cigarette between her fingers getting smaller as the minutes passed.

Before her brain registered the cigarette being taken out of her reach, she had her attention on her girlfriend, responding back to her before turning to her side to see Alex’s lips wrapped around the cigarette with his cheeks hollowed.

The woman playfully scoffed, eyebrows furrowed as she watched him puffing out the smoke toward her. She grimaced and brought her hand to snatch the cigarette away from him. “Get your own smoke, Al.” She whined, her hand on his calloused hand to use her fingers to grab the hold of the small stick.

Alex chuckled, the cigarettes falling into the hands of his lover. He used the opportunity to grab her wrist and pulling the thin cylinder paper back to his lips. He listened to her sounds of protests and stifled back a smile, exhaling the smoke.

She gave him a pout, making him mirror her look before inching closer to plant a chaste kiss to her lips. “You took the last cig, babydoll. The least you could do is to share.” He said against her lips, pecking her lips one last time before pulling away, but still having her close to his side.

She rolled her eyes, biting back a smile as she felt him rubbing her thigh comfortably. She looked at him, eyes glistening from the lights above them. “Oh, really?”

Alex pursed his lips together with a nod, his grip on her waist tightening. He gave her a smirk, “Besides, sharing a cig is more…what is the word, eco-friendly.” He said, wiggling his eyebrows making her laugh.

Her shoulders vibrated with laughter and she shook her head, giving him a funny look. “None of this is eco-friendly, baby. You finished a whole pack of cigarettes in one setting the other day. Are your lungs even breathing?” She bubbled, her giggles filling his eardrums, making him simper.

Alex placed a hand on his chest with a laugh as he joined her banter. His laughs soon turned into coughs, and he covered his mouth with his hand. He heard her laugh harder, her snickers making him slap her thigh with his other hand.

She hissed, giving him a scorn as her laughs ceased. She slapped his hand, making him pinch her thigh and grabbed the hold of her legs to drape them over his thighs and snatching the small cigarette from her hands.

Her lips emitted a small squeal, feeling her body shift. She had her legs resting over his thighs, his hand caressing her bare legs, and his other hand holding the cigarette. She frowned, rubbing the pinched area on her thigh as she looked at him with a disapproving look. Her glare hardened even more, noticing that her cigarette was once again in his hands.

She mumbled under her breath, eyes giving him a dirty look before she launched herself into his lap to grab the last remaining life of the cigarette.

Alex laughed and flicked the cigarette into an ashtray beside him, making her audibly groan. He felt her slump into his lap and he turned his head toward her, meeting her glowering face.

“Baby, that was the last cig. I only took a few drags, that’s not fair.” She whined with a pout, using her knuckles to push his cheek to the side.

Alex let out a deep chuckle, taking the hold of her hand to prep light kisses against her knuckles. “You’re such a child.” He told her and before she could protest he kissed her again.

New Beginnings

tags: post Blood Brothers ending, Sean Diaz x Reader, might contain smut in future chapters, lots of fluff, romantic fluff, overall just fucking wholesome, obviously mentions Daniel quite often, sfw in the beginning, maybe nsfw in the future idk, definitely slow burn chapter summary: new ideas, a heavy storm, shadow puppets, and a slumber party. a little bit angsty but I balanced it out I promise.

Chapter three

After you and the Diaz Brothers finish up all of your Tamales and wrapped up the conversation, you return to your modest house, a cozy space with a view of the ocean. Settling down at your makeshift desk—a sturdy wooden table with a stack of papers and a laptop—you begin to structure the business plans for Diaz’s Garage. When you woke up this morning you couldn’t have thought that tonight you would be sitting at your desk returning to your role as a business manager especially not for Sean Diaz the local mechanic. 

The sound of waves crashing against the shore outside provides a soothing background as you spread out notes. Ideas for expanding the garage's services and enhancing its appeal to the community fill your mind. You envision new service packages, partnerships with local businesses, and sustainable practices that could set Diaz’s Garage apart. Sean has been talking about expanding the Garage, so that would be the first idea you will be working on. 

“So, regular maintenance packages…” you mutter aloud, jotting down notes and adjusting numbers on your laptop screen. The possibilities seem endless, fueled by Sean's vision and your own growing understanding of the local market. You work for hours and hours on these plans. Honestly, you totally forgot that you are a master in this field and the Diaz Garage, as well as Sean and Daniel, are so different from the workplace you had back home. It all feels so exciting and new and it makes you want to pull an all-nighter, but that wouldn’t be very smart so after a few hours and many good ideas and plans you decide to wrap things up and go to bed. Excitement bubbled within you as you drove through the familiar streets of Puerto Lobos once again, heading towards Diaz’s Garage. Today was the day you planned to present Sean with your refined business ideas, eager to discuss the future of the garage over breakfast. You sent him a text last night, asking if it would be okay to come over in the morning, and the gentleman that he is Sean answered that he would be preparing a nice breakfast and be waiting for you. The morning sun painted the town a golden hue, and the salty breeze from the ocean filled your senses with a sense of anticipation.

Pulling up to the garage, you found Sean already waiting outside, leaning casually against the wall with a charming smile on his face. His hair, tousled by the ocean breeze, only added to his relaxed demeanor.

"Hey there," Sean greeted you with a grin, his eyes lighting up as he approached your car. "You look like you've got big plans brewing today."

You stepped out of the car, returning his smile. "Big plans indeed. Can't wait to hear what you think."

Sean chuckled softly. "I’m all ears. But first, breakfast."

He gestured towards a small table set up with breakfast under a nearby awning. The spread included fresh fruit, pastries, and a pot of steaming coffee. The aroma of the coffee mixed with the salty air, created a perfect backdrop for serious business talk and playful banter.

As you sat down, Sean poured you a cup of coffee and sat across from you. "So, what’s the big idea?"

You took a sip of the coffee, savoring the moment before launching into your plans. "I’ve been thinking about expanding the garage’s services—regular maintenance packages and eco-friendly options. I’ve also found some potential partnerships with local businesses that could really boost our visibility." Daniel, who had just joined you and already started snacking on some of the fruits, perks up at the mention of new ideas. “Do you think we could start doing custom modifications? Like those cars you see in magazines?”

Sean nods, smiling at his younger brother’s enthusiasm. “Absolutely, Daniel. And I think with your creativity, we could really make a name for ourselves.”You glance at Sean, impressed by his vision and determination. “It sounds ambitious, but I think it could work. Especially with the right partnerships and marketing.”

Sean meets your gaze, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. “That’s what I like about having you around. You see the potential in things.” You feel a warmth spread through you at his words, grateful for the opportunity to contribute. “I believe in what you’re doing here, Sean. And I’m excited to see where we can take Diaz’s Garage.”

Sean nodded thoughtfully, his gaze fixed on you with genuine interest. "Sounds like you’ve been busy. I like where this is going. Sustainability is definitely a selling point around here. And custom mods? That could attract a whole new clientele."

Encouraged by his response, you leaned forward, the playful glint in your eye matching his. "I knew you'd see the potential. With your expertise and my ideas, Diaz’s Garage could become the talk of Puerto Lobos."

Sean chuckled a hint of flirtation in his voice. "Well, we already are the talk of the town, but I’m all for making a bigger splash."

The morning passed in a blur of productive discussion and shared laughter, each idea sparking new possibilities and strengthening the connection between you and Sean. His ability to blend professionalism with playful banter kept the atmosphere lively and engaging. “So, what’s next on our path to world domination?” Sean teased, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

You laughed, enjoying the easy camaraderie. "First, Puerto Lobos. Then, who knows? The world might not be ready for us yet."

Sean leaned back, his expression thoughtful. "Well, let’s start with Puerto Lobos then. We’ll take it one custom modification at a time."

As you and Sean continue to brainstorm and outline plans for the future of the garage, the sky outside begins to darken, signaling the approaching storm. “Looks like a storm’s coming,” Daniel says, worry creeping into his voice.

Sean glances out the window and nods. “A big one, by the looks of it. Maybe we should start securing the place.” Well you think to yourself, this took a quick turn. Nonetheless, you quickly get up from your seat and immediately begin to help.

You and Sean quickly begin preparing the garage for the impending storm. You help move the more valuable tools and parts to higher shelves, while Sean checks the drainage around the building. Daniel, sensing the urgency, pitches in without hesitation. For the whole time that you have been living here in Puerto Lobos, the weather has always been nice, of course, there were some rainy days but Daniel and Sean sure seem to be preparing for the end of the world. 

As the wind picks up and the first drops of rain begin to fall, you realize the storm is going to be worse than you all anticipated. The town’s streets quickly become rivers of muddy water, and the power flickers before finally going out. The Garage is pitch Black and you now really have to squint your eyes in order for you to see something. You wish you could at least grab some candles, but there is just not enough time, the rain is already pouring so heavily you are scared it might flood the whole place.

“We need to get the sandbags,” Sean says, his voice steady but urgent. “We keep them in the back for situations like this.”

Together, you and Daniel follow Sean to the back of the garage, where you haul out heavy sandbags and position them around the garage’s entrance to keep the water out. The rain pounds down harder, and the wind howls through the trees, but the three of you work in tandem, your efforts synchronized.

“Grab that side,” Sean instructs, pointing to a particularly heavy bag. You and Daniel lift it together, your muscles straining but your determination unwavering. The storm’s fury outside seems to strengthen your resolve.

As you work, you notice Daniel’s hands shaking slightly, his eyes darting nervously at the storm outside. You exchange a concerned glance with Sean, who gives you a reassuring nod. 

Inside the garage, the three of you take shelter as the storm rages outside. The power outage leaves you in near darkness, save for the occasional flash of lightning illuminating the room. You find a few candles and light them, their warm glow creating a small island of light in the otherwise dark and stormy night.

Daniel huddles close to you and Sean, his fear evident. “I really hate storms,” he admits, his voice small. Poor Daniel you think to yourself. When you were a little kid you also always were scared of these kinds of storms, especially thunder used to give you the heebie-jeebies. 

Sean wraps an arm around his brother, pulling him close. “Hey, we’re safe here. The garage is sturdy, and we’ve done everything we can to keep the water out.”

You reach out, placing a comforting hand on Daniel’s shoulder. “Think of it as an adventure, it’s like we’re on a mission to save the garage from the storm! And we’re winning. We’re here together, and we’ll get through this.”

Daniel nods, trying to be brave. “Yeah, like a mission. We’ve got this.”

As the storm rages on, you all sit close, the howling wind and pounding rain a constant backdrop. To lighten the mood, you start sharing stories.

Trying to cheer Daniel up, you say, “I remember one time during a blackout, my friends and I made shadow puppets on the wall. It was silly, but it made us forget the storm outside.”

Daniel manages a small smile. “Maybe we should try that.”

Sean grins. “Why not? It might be fun.” He turns to you, a playful glint in his eye. “Got any good shadow puppet skills to show off?”

You laugh, glad for the distraction. “I might have a trick or two up my sleeve.”

As you and Sean make various shadow puppets on the wall, Daniel’s laughter gradually replaces his fear. The tension eases, and the storm outside becomes a distant worry. The living room feels less like a refuge from the storm and more like a sanctuary of shared strength. Hours pass in a blur of stories, games, and moments of quiet contemplation interrupted only by the storm’s relentless assault outside.

Eventually, exhaustion catches up with you all. Sean looks out the window, the storm still raging with no sign of letting up.

“I can’t let you drive back home in this storm,” he says, his voice carrying genuine concern. “It’s too dangerous out there right now.” You glance outside at the torrential rain and nod in agreement. “Yeah, it’s pretty wild out there. I don’t think I’d make it far.”

Sean nods thoughtfully, then stands up with determination. “I’ll set up the couch for you. It’s not much, but at least you’ll be dry and safe here.”

Grateful for his concern, you offer a faint smile. “Thanks, Sean. I appreciate it.”

He nods, his expression softening. “Of course. We’re all in this together.”

With careful steps to avoid the scattered tools and equipment, Sean clears a path to the couch in the living room. He pulls out a blanket and fluffs the pillows, creating a makeshift but comfortable spot for you to spend the night.

“There,” Sean says, gesturing toward the couch. “It’s not the four seasons, but it should do the job. Get some rest. We’ll figure things out in the morning.” As you settle onto the couch, Daniel stands nearby, looking a bit hesitant. “Are you going to be okay?” he asks, his voice tinged with concern.

You nod, giving him a reassuring smile. “I’ll be fine, Daniel. Thanks for asking.”

Sean ruffles Daniel’s hair affectionately. “Alright, bud. Time for bed. We’ve all had a long day.” Daniel reluctantly heads to his room, and Sean lingers for a moment, his gaze meeting yours. “Goodnight,” he says softly. “If you need anything, my room’s just down the hall.”

“Goodnight, Sean. And thanks again.”

Sean gives you a warm smile before heading to his own room, leaving you in the quiet and comfort of the living room. As you drift off to sleep, the storm’s roar outside gradually fades into a distant rumble, replaced by a sense of safety and gratitude for the unexpected refuge found in the midst of the tempest. Hours later, you’re jolted awake by a loud crash of thunder. Disoriented and groggy, you struggle to get your bearings. The room is dim, lit only by the flickering light of a candle. The storm outside is relentless, the wind howling like a wild beast, and the rain pounding against the windows in a chaotic symphony.

Suddenly, you hear the unmistakable sound of Daniel’s voice, filled with fear. “Sean! Sean!” His voice is a high-pitched wail, cutting through the storm’s roar. You sit up, your heart racing, and see Daniel standing in the hallway, his small frame shaking visibly with fear.

Sean, ever vigilant, is instantly alert. He emerges from his room in a rush, his eyes wide with concern. “Daniel, it’s okay. It’s just a storm,” he says, wrapping his arms around Daniel in a protective hug. “You’re safe. I’m here.”

You rise from the couch, feeling a deep sense of empathy for the frightened boy. Moving to stand beside them, you gently place a hand on Daniel’s back. “Hey, Daniel,” you say softly, your voice calm and soothing. “We’re all here, and we’re all safe.”

The three of you move back to the living room, where the flickering candlelight casts long, comforting shadows on the walls. The storm’s rage seems slightly muted within the warm, dim glow. Sean guides Daniel to the couch, his arm still wrapped around his brother’s shoulders. You sit beside them, your presence a steadying force.

“I’m sorry,” Daniel whispers, his voice trembling as he looks up at you both. “I just… I got so scared.”

“It’s okay, buddy,” Sean murmurs, pulling him close and ruffling his hair gently. “Storms can be really scary. But we’re together, and that’s what matters.”

You nod in agreement, giving Daniel a reassuring smile. “Yeah, and we’re not going anywhere. We’ll stay right here until it’s over.”

Daniel looks up at you both, his fear slowly subsiding. “Can I stay with you guys?” he asks, his voice small but hopeful.

“Of course,” Sean says immediately, his voice firm and comforting. “We’ll all stay right here.”

The three of you huddle together on the couch, the storm’s fury raging outside but feeling less threatening with each passing minute. You start sharing stories again, trying to lighten the mood and distract Daniel from the storm. Sean tells a funny story about their old neighbor in Seattle who used to garden in his pajamas, making Daniel giggle despite himself.

You join in, sharing a silly memory from your own childhood, and soon the living room is filled with soft laughter. The candlelight dances across your faces, casting a warm glow that contrasts sharply with the storm’s cold, harsh presence outside. The howling wind and the thunder’s roar become background noise as you all focus on the stories and each other’s company.

As the night wears on, Daniel’s eyelids grow heavy, his fear slowly giving way to exhaustion. Sean wraps an arm around his brother, pulling him close, and you find yourself leaning against the armrest, feeling a sense of peace despite the storm outside.

“Remember that time we camped in the backyard, and the tent collapsed?” Sean asks, his voice soft and filled with nostalgia.

Daniel nods sleepily, a small smile on his face. “Yeah… you blamed it on a bear,” he mumbles, snuggling closer to Sean.

Sean chuckles. “It was probably just the wind. But you were so brave.”

You reach out and gently squeeze Daniel’s hand. “You’re brave now, too. Storms can be scary, but you’re handling it really well.”

Daniel looks up at you with sleepy eyes, his fear almost gone. “Thanks,” he whispers. “I feel better with you guys here.”

As the storm continues its relentless assault outside, exhaustion eventually overtakes you all. Sean, Daniel and you nestle together on the couch, finding warmth and safety in your closeness. The candle burns low, its light casting a gentle glow on your faces.

The last thing you hear before sleep claims you is the steady rhythm of rain against the windows, the wind’s howl gradually fading into the background. The warmth of the Diaz brothers by your side and the knowledge that you’re all in this together brings a deep sense of comfort and peace.

authors note: hihi i hope you guys liked this chapter, I mean whats a better way to get to know somebody than being locked up because of a huge storm right? anyway even though Daniel is already sixteen in this fic he will always be a little kid deep inside of my heart. I cant wait to continue this fic and I am excited to hear about your opinions.

A study shows that nearly 30% of people experience damaged belongings during a move simply due to poor packing.

Now, let’s talk labels. Trust us, labeled boxes are lifesavers.

Grab a set of colored markers or printable labels and tag each box by room.

This small step can shave up to 2 hours off your unpacking time, according to professional movers.

Another must-have? An essentials box.

Pack it with items like toiletries, snacks, a phone charger, and a change of clothes.

Eco Friendly Solutions for Brand Packaging

With the new year getting started, we’re still dealing with a pollution crisis that’s on a global level.

But, with new eco friendly branding and packaging, you’ll be able to offer a new lease to help the planet, through the packaging that you have.

Plastic pollution is invading our planet, and most of it comes from the foods and drinks that are discarded after just one use.  While it might be useful for a little bit of time, the problem is, if you continue to encourage this waste, it actually causes centuries for it to fully decompose. How do we solve this? through better packaging and solutions of course! 

Biodegradable Food Packaging 

One solution is biodegradable food packaging.  This is the type of packaging that’s great for food packaging that’s sustainable, such as pizza boxes and tableware that’s biodegradable, or made with kraft boxes. It’s great for takeout, and it’s made from materials that are recycled, and it can offer biodegradable options, so that it keeps food fresh, and also saves the planet.

Eco-friendly Packaging for your Deliver Items 

With the pandemic still being a thing, there are now skyrocketing amount of home deliveries. There are more staff being hired than ever before to handle the demand for packaging, and some retailers like amazon have since tripled their profits since the beginning of this.

With major changes in how people are able to shop, some eco friendly types of options such as mailers and boxes that self-seal are the call for brands that wnt packaging solutions that are sustainable.  They’re crafted utilizing cardboard, and they come in different sizes, making it more simple than ever before in order to offer sustainable types of items that are there.

You can now offer different varieties of products that offer packaging to bigger shipments, and also are used to protect the earth and other animals and items too.

Shopping bags that are sustainable 

For a lot of businesses that market to vendors on the street, or maybe sell foods, the products also need to be factored in when you’re looking at this.

For some, this is a mere afterthought, but some close attention does need to be put in how the goods get carried.

With the prices for bags that are plastic increasing, and people having to front the cost, there are now some businesses that are looking to provide biodegradable types of bags, which are great for saving the planet. 

These types of bags are the best for ecofriendly types of solutions as they offer similar types of characteristics to the bags that are plastic, while also being totally biodegradable.

Biodegradable Void Fill and Paper Tape 

There is also a new change in the type of ways that you seal the items that are there. paper tape is one of the new ones, and it’s become a sustainable, better way of handling this. it’s made through Kraft paper, and is similar to regular tape, while also being totally recyclable. It’s great for sealing your packages, so that customers are able to recycle everything, without having to worry about the tape that’s there.

Then there is void fill. While packaging peanuts are popular, they are not good for the planet. The same goes for bubble wrap, as it’s based on plastic. If you switch to these they offer a safety net for packages when they’re transported, and customers can repurpose these too, making this better for packaging that’s eco friendly, and better for the planet too! Try this type of packaging today, and see the difference it makes.

Environmentally friendly artist pleadge

As artists, we have the unique ability to capture the beauty of the world around us, and it is our responsibility to ensure that we are doing our part to protect and preserve our environment. Embracing sustainability not only benefits the planet but also enables us to build a stronger and more ethical business. In this blog post, I pledge to be an environmentally friendly artist business owner and share some actionable steps that we can all take to reduce our ecological footprint.

Use eco-friendly materials: One of the simplest ways to become more environmentally conscious is to transition to using eco-friendly art supplies. Look for products that are made from recycled or sustainably sourced materials, such as paints, papers, and canvases. Additionally, opt for water-based paints that emit fewer harmful chemicals and reduce air pollution.

Reduce waste: Artistic inspiration can sometimes lead to excessive consumption. However, being mindful of waste can make a significant difference. When possible, try to reuse or repurpose materials, such as old canvases or paintbrushes. Use scrap papers or upcycled cardboard for sketches or preliminary work. By finding creative solutions for waste reduction, we can actively contribute to minimizing our environmental impact.

Opt for sustainable packaging: Packaging materials, such as bubble wrap and Styrofoam, are harmful to the environment. Transitioning to sustainable packaging alternatives, like biodegradable and recyclable options, is an essential step in reducing waste. Additionally, consider using eco-friendly shipping options that offset carbon emissions.

Conserve energy: Operating our art studios and workspaces efficiently helps conserve energy and reduce our carbon footprint. Take advantage of natural light as much as possible and use energy-efficient lighting, such as LED bulbs. Turn off equipment and electronics when not in use and invest in energy-efficient appliances to minimize electricity consumption. Conserving energy not only helps the environment but also reduces your utility bills.

Offset carbon emissions: Despite our best intentions, it is challenging to completely eliminate our carbon emissions. One way to minimize our impact is by purchasing carbon offset credits. These credits fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately balancing out our own emissions. Supporting such initiatives allows us to take responsibility for our carbon footprint and support a greener future.

As artists, we have a unique platform to bring awareness to the environmental issues that our planet faces. By taking the pledge to become an environmentally friendly artist business owner, we can inspire others to join us on this transformative journey. Let's embrace sustainability, adopt eco-friendly practices throughout our artistic process, and play our part in creating a greener future, one masterpiece at a time.

The Impact of E-Commerce on Packaging Design and Materials

Introduction (H1): The Transformative Effect of E-Commerce on Packaging Design and Materials

The rise of e-commerce has revolutionized the way we shop, transforming the retail landscape and disrupting traditional brick-and-mortar stores. As more consumers turn to online shopping, the packaging industry has had to adapt to meet the demands of this rapidly growing market.

The Growth of E-Commerce : Changing Consumer Behavior and Packaging Requirements

With the convenience and accessibility of online shopping, e-commerce has experienced exponential growth over the past decade. Consumers now expect their purchases to be delivered safely and efficiently to their doorstep, which has significant implications for packaging design and materials.

In the e-commerce landscape, packaging serves multiple purposes beyond protection and containment. It must also create a positive unboxing experience, reflect the brand's identity, and be environmentally sustainable. This shift in consumer expectations has given rise to the need for innovative packaging solutions that strike a balance between functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.

The Role of Packaging Design in E-Commerce : Creating a Memorable Unboxing Experience

In the digital age, packaging design plays a crucial role in brand differentiation and customer engagement. E-commerce companies understand that the unboxing experience is an opportunity to create a lasting impression on the consumer. Well-designed packaging can evoke excitement, anticipation, and even emotional connections with the brand.

In response to this trend, packaging design has become more creative and visually appealing. Unique box structures, personalized inserts, and branded materials enhance the unboxing experience and encourage customers to share their positive experiences on social media, generating valuable word-of-mouth marketing.

The Importance of Packaging Materials in E-Commerce : Balancing Protection and Sustainability

E-commerce packaging must ensure the safe transit of products from warehouses to consumers' homes. Traditional packaging materials like cardboard and bubble wrap continue to be widely used, but there is growing awareness of the need for sustainable alternatives.

Eco-friendly materials, such as recycled and biodegradable packaging, are gaining popularity. Companies like Shitla Paper are at the forefront of providing sustainable packaging solutions. By offering paper-based packaging materials that are both protective and environmentally friendly, Shitla Paper helps e-commerce businesses align with their customers' eco-conscious values.

Print on Demand Pro Tips | Reduce Packaging Trash on Holidays

Online shopping for the 2022 holiday season is expected to break previous records. As a result, there will be an increase in the number of packages delivered and an influx of cardboard boxes and packaging materials. According to Stanford University, packaging accounts for approximately 30% of trash. According to one study, each household will dispose of 25% more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. It is critical for a print on demand eCommerce retailer to use recyclable packaging materials. Recycling conserves energy and natural resources, reduces pollution, and prevents landfills from overflowing. This time of year is ideal for educating and reminding your consumers to recycle.

PRINT ON DEMAND PRO TIPS TO REDUCE PACKAGING TRASH DURING HOLIDAYS

1. Encourage customers to recycle and reuse packaging.

Although most residents have recycling bins at home, not all recyclable items belong in these bins. You must keep certain recyclable materials apart from others. Many supermarkets have plastic drop-off stations to recycle plastics with resin identification codes 2 and 4. It is important to note that you cannot recycle contaminated boxes and other recyclable materials. Customers may want to keep your orders if they arrive in a cool branded box. Another good option is to keep or repurpose packages, as long as they do not end up in the trash. Although not every box will be in good enough condition to be reused, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and other packing supplies can.

2. Use eco-friendly materials.

Online retailers can make environmentally friendly decisions. If you’re an eCommerce merchant looking to be more environmentally friendly, your packaging is one of the most important things to consider. You can be intentional about sustainability by using post-consumer recycled content in the manufacturing of products and choosing eco-friendly packaging and branded boxes. By limiting the need to collect raw materials, you can conserve natural resources, reduce the amount of waste in landfills, and prevent pollution by using recycled materials.

3. Make packaging more appealing to make consumers buy in bulk.

People in today’s society order items online on the spur of the moment with the click of a button. Items can travel in one box rather than many by grouping them rather than ordering them individually. Ecommerce merchants can reduce the number of packing materials used by offering bulk discounts and kits, using the right-sized box, and experimenting with other methods.

4. Reduce the number of miles traveled.

The greater the distance a package travels, the greater the environmental impact. One way to cut transit miles is to keep inventory closer to your customers. Knowing when to expect deliveries helps to avoid redeliveries and, as a result, a larger carbon footprint. Furthermore, more trips are made each time a customer returns a product. Retailers can optimize their websites to include customer reviews, high-quality photos, and detailed product descriptions to reduce the likelihood of eCommerce returns and exchanges.

CONCLUSION

Especially at this time of year, online shopping generates a lot of empty boxes. Unfortunately, cardboard and plastic are still being disposed of in landfills today. You can reduce the environmental impact of online shopping by recycling the leftover materials from online orders. Of course, it is ultimately up to each customer to make these choices. As a print on demand eCommerce merchant, you can encourage this behavior and even make decisions that benefit – rather than harm – the environment.

Custom Printed Boxes vs. Generic Packaging: Why Branding Matters

While a quality product is essential, the importance of packaging cannot be overstated. It's the first physical interaction a customer has with your brand, and it can significantly impact. This is where the choice between custom printed boxes and generic packaging becomes crucial.

You're right, the previous response was a bit generic. Let's dive deeper into the strategic advantages of custom printed boxes and explore why they're more than just a pretty face for your product.

Optimized Protection and Cost Efficiency

Unlike custom printed packaging, generic packaging often means using standard-sized boxes with void fill to protect your product. This can lead to:

Increased shipping costs: Larger boxes mean higher dimensional weight, costing you more.

Material waste: Excess packaging materials like bubble wrap or packing peanuts are used.

Higher risk of damage: Products may shift during transit despite void fill.

Custom packaging allows for right-sized boxes, minimizing these issues. This translates to:

Lower shipping costs: Optimized dimensions reduce dimensional weight.

Reduced material usage: Less need for void fill, saving on material costs and waste.

Superior product protection: Snug fit minimizes movement during shipping, reducing damage claims and returns.

For example, a cosmetics company could design a custom box with inserts specifically moulded to hold delicate compacts and bottles, eliminating the need for excessive bubble wrap and ensuring products arrive intact.

Targeted Marketing and Brand Storytelling

Custom packaging offers a unique opportunity to communicate with your target audience and tell your brand story. Consider these examples:

A sustainable food brand: Could use recycled cardboard with soy-based inks, printing information about their eco-friendly practices and certifications directly on the box.

A luxury fashion brand: Might opt for rigid boxes with magnetic closures and embossing, creating a high-end feel that reflects the product's quality.

A subscription box service: Can design boxes with interactive elements, like QR codes that lead to exclusive content or gamified unboxing experiences.

By tailoring the packaging to your specific audience and brand values, you create a stronger connection and enhance brand loyalty.

By partnering with the right supplier and considering the strategic advantages of custom packaging, you can transform a simple box into a powerful marketing tool that drives brand growth and customer loyalty.
