A great packaging supplier can do more than just deliver boxes or pouches—they can become a valuable partner in your product’s success. When you build a strong relationship with your packaging supplier, you gain access to faster turnarounds, better pricing, proactive support, and long-term consistency. In today’s competitive and fast-moving market, that kind of partnership gives your business a real edge. Here’s how to establish that relationship—and the key benefits that come with it. Communicate Clearly and Early Start by giving your supplier a complete picture of your packaging needs: product type, order volumes, launch schedules, compliance requirements, and goals. The more context they have, the better they can help you make smart decisions on materials, lead times, and design. ✅ Avoid last-minute changes✅ Get recommendations tailored to your product✅ Build trust from day one Be Transparent About Forecasts and Timelines Suppliers value visibility. If you can share estimated launch dates, repeat order timelines, or growth projections, it helps your supplier plan production capacity and manage materials more efficiently—often leading to smoother fulfillment and fewer delays. ✅ Easier to secure stock or rush jobs✅ Priority treatment on reorders✅ Better planning on both sides Ask for Input and Be Open to Advice A knowledgeable supplier sees a wide range of packaging projects across industries. Ask for their input on things like design layouts, material upgrades, cost-saving tweaks, or retail display improvements. The more you lean on their expertise, the more value they can bring beyond just delivering product. ✅ Get smarter solutions you may not have considered✅ Avoid design or material issues early✅ Improve packaging performance over time Give Feedback—Positive or Negative A good supplier wants to hear if something’s not right—whether it’s a missed delivery window or an issue with print quality. Clear, respectful feedback helps your supplier fix issues quickly and improve future orders. Likewise, let them know what they’re doing right so that performance continues. ✅ Helps refine quality and service✅ Prevents repeat issues✅ Builds a culture of accountability Consolidate More Products with One Trusted Partner The more your supplier handles—whether it’s boxes, pouches, inserts, or displays—the more efficient your packaging operation becomes. You reduce touchpoints, simplify coordination, and may even qualify for better pricing through bundled or volume-based deals. ✅ Fewer vendors to manage✅ More consistent branding and quality✅ Potential cost savings through volume Think Long-Term Don’t treat packaging as a short-term transaction. When you invest in a long-term relationship, your supplier gets to know your brand, your expectations, and your product cycles. That deeper understanding leads to better service, better packaging, and more proactive support. ✅ Better alignment over time✅ Faster execution on reorders or new projects✅ A true partner as your business grows Final Thoughts A strong packaging supplier relationship can lead to better pricing, smarter packaging, faster service, and less stress overall. By communicating clearly, staying consistent, and treating your supplier like a true partner, you unlock more than just materials—you unlock long-term value for your business.

Packaging prices don’t always stay still. Whether due to raw material costs, tariffs, labor increases, or supply chain shifts, price hikes can hit unexpectedly—and impact your entire product margin. If you’re a buyer or procurement lead, knowing how to respond is critical. Should you pass the cost to your customers? Change your packaging? Negotiate with suppliers? Here’s how to make the smartest move for your business. Understand Why the Price Increased Before reacting, ask your supplier for transparency. Common reasons include: Material costs (paperboard, plastic, corrugate) Freight and fuel surcharges Labor increases Tariffs or import duties Order volume changes Knowing the root cause helps you decide whether it’s a temporary spike or a long-term shift—and whether it’s worth absorbing or working around. Review Your Packaging Spend in Detail Instead of focusing only on the total cost increase, break it down by: Cost per unit Cost per SKU Cost relative to your product margin This gives you a better sense of how much it actually affects your bottom line—and which products are most impacted. Talk to Your Supplier About Options Don’t assume the quoted increase is final. You may be able to: Adjust your order quantity for better volume pricing Modify materials to reduce cost without changing function Consolidate SKUs to simplify production Bundle packaging items for savings on combined runs A good supplier will work with you to find cost-saving adjustments that don’t sacrifice quality. Reevaluate Your Product Pricing If the increase is significant and widespread, it may be time to adjust your product pricing—but do it strategically. Small increases (under 5%) can often be absorbed with better packaging design or minor cost shifts elsewhere. Larger increases may require pricing strategy updates, especially if your competitors are facing the same issues. Pairing a price increase with added value (e.g., sustainability, upgraded packaging, bonus content) helps ease customer pushback. If your product is priced too tightly, this could be a good time to revisit margins and ensure you’re leaving room for volatility. Consider a Packaging Redesign Sometimes the best solution is a smarter box. Packaging engineers can help you: Reduce excess material or void fill Switch to more efficient structures Use lighter board grades without losing protection Combine inner and outer packaging functions These changes can offset increased costs and even improve the customer experience in the process. Final Thoughts Packaging price increases are part of doing business—but how you respond determines whether you lose margin or find opportunity. By understanding the cause, reviewing your options, and thinking long-term, you can protect your brand, your product, and your profit.

When most buyers think of packaging design, they picture logos, colors, and graphics—but what’s often overlooked is structural design: the way your box is shaped, assembled, and built to protect your product. While it might seem like a creative or aesthetic step, structural packaging design is one of the smartest ways to reduce overall costs—without cutting corners. Here’s how working with a packaging expert on structure can help you improve efficiency, lower waste, and uncover savings you didn’t even know you were missing. Right-Sizing Reduces Material Waste One of the most common sources of excess cost is using packaging that’s too big for the product. Oversized boxes mean: Wasted material Higher shipping dimensional weight (DIM weight) More void fill or inner packaging required A structural designer will analyze your product’s exact dimensions and create a custom-fit structure that reduces material use and minimizes empty space. ✅ Lower cost per unit✅ Fewer packing materials needed✅ Eco-friendlier and More efficient Smarter Structures Can Ship and Stack Better Good packaging design doesn’t just fit the product—it also fits the pallet, the shipping box, and the retail shelf. A structural designer will optimize for: Pallet and shipping carton dimensions Nesting and stacking efficiency Improved cube utilization in transit This can result in fewer pallets shipped, better trailer utilization, and ultimately lower freight costs—especially on large or frequent shipments. ✅ Reduces freight and warehousing expenses✅ Maximizes every inch of space✅ Less breakage or shifting during transit Eliminating Unnecessary Inserts or Features You might be using inserts, partitions, or complex folds to keep your product safe when a simpler structural design could do the same job—better. Structural packaging design looks at how to: Build protection into the box Combine functions (e.g., branding + product separation) Remove excess without compromising product safety Sometimes switching from foam inserts to chipboard, or replacing a magnetic rigid box with a strong tuck-end carton, delivers the same customer experience with half the cost. ✅ Less packaging complexity✅ Fewer assembly steps✅ Reduced material and production costs Reducing Labor with Easier Assembly Every second spent assembling or filling your box adds to your cost. Structural designers can engineer packaging that: Pops into shape with minimal folding Arrives pre-glued or pre-assembled Speeds up fulfillment and packing lines The savings on labor—especially at scale—can be significant, particularly for brands doing their own fulfillment or paying by the hour for co-packing services. ✅ Faster assembly times✅ Lower labor costs✅ Fewer bottlenecks in production Improving Packaging Durability (Which Prevents Losses) A well-designed structure doesn’t just look good—it protects better. If you’ve had issues with: Boxes collapsing in transit Product shifting inside Customer complaints due to damage Then investing in a structurally sound design pays off fast. Preventing even a small percentage of returns or damaged shipments can result in thousands of dollars saved over time. ✅ Reduces product damage and returns✅ Protects your reputation✅ Cuts down on replacement and reshipping costs Structural Design Helps Avoid Retail Rejections If your packaging doesn’t meet retail requirements—whether it’s shelf dimensions, stacking strength, or display visibility—it can lead to chargebacks, delays, or rejections. Structural packaging design ensures compliance with: Club store or retail chain display specs Structural strength tests (crush, drop, vibration) Shelf or tray requirements for in-store merchandising ✅ Avoids costly reprints or redesigns✅ Streamlines vendor approval processes✅ Ensures retail-readiness the first time around Final Thoughts Structural packaging design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s one of the most practical, cost-saving investments you can make in your packaging strategy. From reducing material and shipping costs to improving assembly and protection, the right design pays for itself.

Point-of-purchase (POP) displays play a dual role in retail environments: they must capture attention with graphics while supporting products with reliable structure. If one side is overemphasized, the other suffers—eye-catching graphics on a weak structure can lead to product collapse, while overbuilt displays with poor graphics fail to drive sales. Successful POP design requires careful coordination between visual branding and engineering strength. The Role of Graphics in POP Displays Graphics carry the brand message and attract consumer attention in crowded retail aisles. Effective use of color, typography, and imagery transforms a standard corrugated display into a compelling marketing tool. Reinforces brand identity. Highlights product features or promotions. Differentiates products from competitors on the same shelf. However, graphics must be placed with consideration of die lines, folds, and assembly points. A design that looks strong in concept may lose effectiveness if critical elements are cut or hidden during production. Structural Integrity and Functionality The best POP display design balances aesthetics with durability. Structural engineering ensures the display holds weight, withstands handling, and complies with retailer requirements. Load-bearing capacity: Displays must hold multiple units without sagging. Assembly efficiency: Designs should be easy to set up in stores. Retail compliance: Dimensions must fit within chain-specific guidelines. Ignoring structure risks costly failures on the retail floor, from leaning displays to complete collapse. Achieving Balance Between Graphics and Structure Collaborative design: Graphic and structural designers should work together from concept through prototype. Testing in real-world conditions: Simulate load, handling, and lighting before production. Material selection: Choose board grades and coatings that allow high-quality print while maintaining rigidity. Print-to-structure alignment: Ensure graphics align with folds, cutouts, and SKU placement. Industry Examples Club stores: High-traffic environments demand bold graphics paired with strong pallet displays. Seasonal promotions: Graphics drive excitement, but structural resilience ensures displays last through extended campaigns. Cross-merchandising displays: Must hold different SKUs securely without compromising print impact. POP Display Solutions with Brown Packaging At Brown Packaging, we engineer POP displays that balance structural integrity with brand-forward graphics. From retail-ready pallet displays to seasonal floor stands, our team ensures your design attracts attention without sacrificing performance. Contact us to start planning your next POP display.

Point-of-purchase (POP) displays must catch a shopper’s eye while also moving efficiently through the supply chain. Striking the right balance between visual impact and logistics ensures displays drive sales without creating costly inefficiencies. A design that leans too far toward graphics may ship poorly, while one built only for logistics risks blending into the background. The Role of Visual Impact Graphics and structure are central to a display’s retail performance. Visual impact drives traffic and communicates the brand message at a glance. Bold colors and large product imagery attract attention. Clean layouts improve readability in busy aisles. Seasonal themes and promotions build urgency. Without strong branding, even the most efficient display may fail to engage shoppers. Logistics Demands in POP Displays Retailers expect displays that not only sell but also ship and set up efficiently. Logistics considerations include: Cube efficiency: Displays should maximize pallet and trailer space. Durability: Strength to withstand transit and handling. Ease of assembly: Retail staff need quick setup without extra labor. Compliance: Dimensions must meet retailer guidelines for footprint and safety. Strategies to Balance Both Sides Collaborative design: Structural and graphics teams work together from the start. Prototype testing: Confirm visual alignment and shipping durability before production. Material selection: Choose corrugated grades that allow high-quality print and strength. Right-size graphics: Design branding that adapts to fold lines and pallet constraints. Examples of Balanced POP Designs Club store pallet displays: Large branding surfaces combined with pallet-ready engineering. Seasonal promotions: Bold graphics with lightweight, compact shipping formats. Cross-merchandising units: Multi-SKU designs that showcase brands while stacking efficiently.
