What is FlyPak?
Firstly, what is FlyPak? Quite simply, it's sustainable e-commerce packaging reinvented. Similar to a crash lock box, but with upgraded features, its design rises to meet the challenges facing e-commerce retailers. Read on to find out why it will make your life easier and your business money.
1. Saves on Time
As a result of its rapid pop-up construction, FlyPak's assembly is straightforward. It transforms from a 2D shape into a box in a matter of seconds. No fiddling around, no tape required, no frustration. It's a labour-saving device which drastically cuts down the time needed to pack a product professionally. And time, of course, is money.
2. Saves on Space
Only 2 ply thick, we supply FlyPak flat on purpose. This makes it more efficient to palletise, because it requires less storage space than other crash lock boxes, even those with a similar capacity.
3. Saves on Void Fill
FlyPak negates the need for excessive void fill because of its variable-height retention. Its two wings fold inwards, holding items securely in place by reducing lateral movement. Often, void fill can be dispensed with altogether which is great from an environmental and a storage point of view. FlyPak cushions high value items holding them firmly in place without the need for bubblewrap or honeycomb paper.
FlyPak's rigid retention system means one box size is appropriate for numerous products. Additionally, you can use a FlyPak box to ship differently sized items together. In e-commerce, consolidation is pivotal when it comes to saving money.
4. Saves on Advertising
FlyPak boxes are highly customisable. They can be printed with state-of-the-art 4-colour flexographic printing so a brand's unique message – a vital part of its marketing strategy – is up front and centre during the delivery process. After all, why spend considerable amounts on advertising when your packaging can do it for you?
Want to save even more money? Place artwork on a single side of the box to maximise cost efficiency without compromising on style. If the unboxing experience is your priority, then display your brand's slogan under FlyPak's lid in order to give the customer the full wow factor upon opening.
5. Saves on Returns and Refunds
DPD approved, FlyPak has passed stringent security, tamper-evidence, and impact tests. The way its retention wings function means that instances of breakages or damage during transit are extremely rare. Interlocking side tabs mean that instances of pilfering are significantly reduced. One client has reported over 70% reduction in theft and tampering since they switched to FlyPak.
Conclusion
Our packaging experts designed FlyPak to save you time, money and hassle. It was born out of a desire to solve the many 'little' annoying problems that packers face on a daily basis. Most of all, it was developed because of the belief that a solution needn't be expensive or exclusive. FlyPak offers a cost-neutral upgrade over crash lock boxes.
