What are e-commerce and shipping packaging?
E-commerce and shipping packaging are specialised bags and film pouches for online dispatch: polybags for fashion shipping, mailing bags for books and cosmetics, delivery note pouches for shipping documents, wrap-around pouches for gift ranges.
The main requirements are shipping-cost efficiency (lightweight materials, tight dimensioning), robustness (tear resistance against transport stress), self-adhesive closures (fast packing in fulfilment) and unboxing branding (printed outer face as a brand experience).
Typical materials: LDPE 50–100 microns for standard shipping bags, HDPE 25–50 microns for light mailing bags with high tear resistance, OPP film 30 microns with adhesion seal for polybags in fashion e-commerce, LDPE 100–150 microns with self-adhesive pad for delivery note pouches.
All materials are certified to EU 10/2011 for food contact — important for e-commerce retailers with a food range.
