As a courier company, we care about the welfare of our planet! As well as reducing emissions, we also rely on environmentally friendly solutions when it comes to packaging our parcels. Our favourite material is... cardboard. Find out why and how you can creatively use it!
Those who run a mail-order shop and courier and transport companies build their reputation primarily on the goods they deliver. Although in the former case, it is the quality of the goods themselves that counts more, the importance of getting the goods to the customer should not be overlooked. Nowadays, a variety of packaging is available to streamline the shipping process, thus making the job of e-commerce owners or to couriers . However, easy does not mean good. So before you send your package, make sure you do it right!
Why is a cardboard box a good solution?
Good packaging is packaging that properly protects the goods it contains. This is a priority, especially for e-commerce operators. Cardboard boxes perform best in this role. Nowadays, cardboard boxes are produced in a wide variety of sizes, colours, designs and shapes, allowing the retailer to match the dimensions of the box to the items being shipped.
In addition to their functionality, cardboard boxes have another huge advantage: they are environmentally friendly! The use of cardboard does not put a strain on the environment like the alternative of plastic packaging. In addition, such a box can be reused. It is suitable both for storing things and for reuse for packing and sending parcels.
A feature that appeals for the use of cardboard boxes is also their price. Depending on the size, this varies between a few and a dozen zlotys. The low cost of packaging will be particularly important for those who run their own online shop and are looking for something in which they can distribute their goods to customers, and which they will buy in bulk for a really good price. Looking after your own business is extremely important, and e-commerce owners are keen to run a professional business and reduce costs at the same time. Subscriptions for companies offered by InPost come out in front.

Cardboard furniture
Although it sounds unbelievable, you can even make furniture out of empty cardboard boxes! Although they won't be as durable as their wooden counterparts, it is undeniably a much more original form of decoration. A cardboard table can be used when guests are visiting, when you need more space for prepared snacks or to store things in the basement or attic.

Skarbonka
You can make a piggy bank out of small cardboard boxes. It's a very simple matter - just fold the cardboard and make a cut on the lid. However, if you need something more original, make use of colourful or patterned cardboard boxes, so that your moneybox not only fulfils its function, but also becomes an interesting decorative element. You can also use your own talent by decorating the cardboard piggy bank yourself.

Pet bed
Pet owners can transform an ordinary cardboard box into a pet bed for their pet. This can take a variety of forms: a closed bed (the entrance must be cut into the cardboard box) or an open bed. In either case, all you need to do is to line it with a blanket - and you're done! Make sure you choose the right size of cardboard box so that your pet can easily fit in.
