Packaging and it's suitability has been a major topic for debate over the last few years due to concerns over it’s environmental effects, size appropriateness and it's cost. Supermarkets have especially come under fire for increasingly using excess packaging to store their products, but considerations must be made concerning food storage. It is no secret that in this day and age the world of ecommerce is a force of nature within the retail industry, with more customers buying online than ever, it has never been so important environmentally, physically or financially to make sure you use the best packaging solution possible and it is the physical aspect that I will hope to address here, size matters.
I ask myself the question, what benefit could this possibly be to the retailer. The postage would have been an extra cost due to size, along with the three different types of packaging used and the time it must have taken to pack. As a customer I couldn’t see the benefit to myself either. What is the point of shopping online to save travel when I then need to travel 3 miles to my local depot to collect a package that was more than capable of fitting through my letterbox. Environmentally two vehicles had to be used for me to gain my package and three boxes went in the bin.
