Hello, I’m Kristi Duvall with The BoxMaker and I’m here with your Quarterly Packaging Report, bringing you the top custom packaging news that you need to know.

Introducing Cruz Foam

Our first story features a revolutionary new sustainable packaging material – Cruz Foam.

In a world where consumers are increasingly driven by eco-conscious choices, businesses are feeling the pressure to go green—not just in their products but in their packaging too.

The call for sustainable practices has never been louder, and brands that answer it are cultivating the loyalty of earth-conscious shoppers everywhere.

Enter: Cruz Foam. A 100% biodegradable alternative to traditional synthetic foams that delivers the performance and characteristics of EPS or EPE with the sustainability advantages your customers expect.

The BoxMaker is proud to be a converter partner of Cruz Foam and this game-changing sustainable packaging product. To learn more, head over to our website.

Planning and Ordering Packaging for the Holidays

Fall is in full swing, but it’s not too late to fully execute on your holiday promotional campaigns.

At this point in the year, conventional litho-lam is booked weeks out. For late-stage needs, consider digital print. Take advantage of significantly reduced lead times and cost savings to procure last-minute holiday point of sale displays and packaging. Aligning your products with current events in consumers’ lives increases relevancy and sales.

Cost-Effective Packaging Strategies for Small Businesses

Our final story highlights cost-effective packaging strategies for small businesses.

For growing companies with limited capital, sourcing custom packaging can be a challenge. High minimum orders and the need for storage space often deter small business owners from considering custom packaging.

But here’s the good news: You don’t need a big budget to create impactful packaging. Strategic sourcing and format choices can help small businesses enhance their brand without overspending.

Platforms like Fantastapack, a division of The BoxMaker, let small businesses order custom packaging with minimums as low as one. This flexibility allows businesses to try new designs without the financial burden of large inventory, making it easier to scale as demand grows.

That’s it for the Quarterly Packaging Report. I’m Kristi Duvall, reminding you to contact The BoxMaker and Experience the Power of Packaging in 2024.
