For startups, finding cost-effective packaging solutions that work well is key to keeping expenses down. This week, The Packaging Doctor is here to help a new business that’s just getting off the ground. They’re looking for ways to safely ship DVDs and gaming accessories to their customers without breaking the bank. Let’s dive into some practical options!

Dear Doctor,

We’ve recently started a business selling DVDs and games for different consoles. Our main challenge right now is figuring out how to package our products so they arrive in pristine condition. Since we’re still in the early stages, we need something affordable yet reliable. Could you recommend any solutions?

Thanks,

Liz

Hi Liz,

Great to hear from you! There are several packaging options that could work perfectly for your business. Let’s go over them.

First up, our Polythene Mailing Bags are an excellent choice for sending items via postal services. These bags are made from thick polythene material, making them durable while keeping costs low. They’re also opaque, which ensures privacy since no one can see what’s inside. Plus, they come with a secure peel-and-seal strip that keeps your packages locked tight during transit. You can choose from multiple sizes depending on the dimensions of your products, and buying in bulk often gives you better pricing. If most of your items are similar in size, it might make sense to stock up on one standard size to save money.

Another option worth considering is our Weather Mailers. These are slightly more robust than regular mailing bags because they feature a waterproof outer layer combined with bubble wrap lining. Depending on how sturdy the packaging around your DVDs and games is, adding extra protection might be beneficial. Like the polythene bags, these weather mailers are lightweight, helping reduce shipping fees, and they also come with a reliable peel-and-seal closure.

A third alternative—and a favorite among those in your industry—is the Book Wrap Mailers. These are essentially foldable cardboard boxes designed specifically for mailing books but also work great for DVDs and other flat items. The corrugated cardboard provides solid protection against damage during handling and delivery. What’s more, they’re tamper-proof and multi-scored, meaning you can easily adjust them to fit different depths of content. This flexibility allows you to buy larger quantities at once, reducing the cost per unit.

Why not give us a call? Our friendly team of packaging experts would be happy to send you free samples of each type so you can try them out before placing an order. Just let us know, and we’ll take care of everything!

Best regards,

The Packaging Doctor
