Running a successful eCommerce business requires more than just great products - it demands efficient fulfilment, seamless logistics, and scalable solutions tailored to your needs.
At Primepac, we’re not just a supplier, we’re your strategic partner in overcoming the toughest challenges of eCommerce and fulfilment.
Proper packaging ensures your products arrive intact and leaves a lasting impression on your customers. Follow these best practices to streamline your packaging process and reduce the risk of damage during transit.
1. Bubble Wrap - Cushion your products against damage and vibration during transport. Wraps easily around awkward packages and products, ideal for extra cushioning or void fill applications.
2. Tissue Paper - Perfect for fragile or delicate product wrapping. We stock a variety of colours including white, black, red and more. Our white Tissue Paper is acid free used for general wrapping and protection for fragile and delicate products or objects. Acid free reduces the risk of tarnishing or marking sensitive items like jewellery.
3. Kraft Paper - Great for wrapping and void filling! Quality Kraft Paper is ideal for general packaging of light or heavy duty products. An economic choice for wrapping material or void filling paper. Choose from 60gsm, 80gsm,120gsm or 200gsm paper weight. Easy to use with one of our handy wall or bench mounted dispensers!
4. Pro-Wrap Foam - PROWRAP 1 is laminated with a layer of absorbent PP material that protects furniture from moisture build up during long shipping cycles. PROWRAP 2 is laminated with the same layer of absorbent PP material on one side of the bubble plus a layer of PE film laminated to the other side of the bubble. As well as protection from moisture, PROWRAP 2 offers superior tear and puncture resistance.
5. Void Fill - Made from expanded starch, Pop Starch void fill is 100% compostable and biodegradable with no disposal costs, easier handling due to being non static, therefore reducing labour time.
6. Polyfoam Rolls - A non abrasive, light weight, versatile polyethylene foam, for the ultimate surface protection. Ideal for highly polished & lacquered surfaces. Poly Foam is waterproof & provides excellent thermal insulation. CFC free. Available in 1mm or 2mm thicknesses.

For Standard Shipments:
For Extra Protection:
Internal Dimensions:
The size of the box should match your product dimensions as closely as possible. Oversized boxes not only waste materials but also require excessive void fill to stabilize the product. Measuring accurately ensures an efficient fit and reduces overall costs.
Box Thickness:
Choose the appropriate grade of cardboard based on your product's weight and fragility. Single-wall cartons work for lightweight items, while double-wall cartons are ideal for heavier or more delicate goods.
Sustainability:
Consider boxes made with recycled content. Another option could be multi-tiered boxes with creaselines for adjustable height, reducing the need for additional stock sizes.
When it comes to shipping and fulfilment, using the right tape ensures your packages stay securely sealed throughout their journey.
