Have you considered what effect problems with your product’s packaging can have on your product quality, your customers and your business? As an importer, you may not think packaging deserves to be among your top priorities.
But the truth is many importers suffer greatly from the mistake of not adequately overseeing their product packaging. Product packaging doesn’t just protect your goods during shipping. It also represents your brand and helps your product reach your end customers at the right time and place.
Don’t rely solely on your supplier overseas to thoroughly check your product packaging before shipping. Seemingly insignificant details, such as the number of units to an inner carton or the markings on the outside of a shipper carton, can have drastic negative effects on your bottom line, including:
- Angry customers that receive damaged goods they can’t sell due to substandard packing materials or improper assortment
- Shipping delays at customs because of incorrect labeling; and
- Refusal to accept your shipment due to failure to meet government regulations or distributors’ requirements for packaging
With the success of your business hanging in the balance, it’s vital that you inspect your product’s packaging thoroughly before shipping to avoid these and other serious problems.
