The emergence of the eCommerce industry and access to the internet has unlocked market potential in eCommerce packaging. Additionally, due to growing environmental concerns surrounding the biodegradation of plastic materials, more companies are now prioritising the development of 100% organic and reusable packaging solutions.

The convenience of online shopping, where products can be delivered quickly and at competitive prices, further fuels the growth of the eCommerce packaging market. The growing demand for packaged food and beverages creates new opportunities within the sector.

The Asia-Pacific region emerged as a dominant force in the global eCommerce packaging market in 2020, accounting for over half (approximately 52%) of the market value.

In the context of eCommerce, the efficiency and speed of the packing process are crucial for success. Online retailers face the challenge of packing items of various sizes, requiring specialised packaging solutions that can be ordered in specific quantities and stored accordingly. Fanfold corrugated board offers a flexible solution by providing one type of packaging that can accommodate different products.

Fanfold corrugated board is pre-scored, making it easy to manually fold and pack around items. It is also compatible with packaging machines and conveyor belts, allowing for automated packing processes. The board is stored in a zigzag fold on a pallet, enabling packers to take only the required amount of board for each packaging case.

This approach eliminates the need to stock multiple types of packaging for various product sizes, simplifying inventory management. The versatility of fanfold corrugated board allows for quick adaptation to different product dimensions, reducing packing time and increasing operational efficiency. The compatibility with packaging machines and conveyor belts facilitates integration into existing packing systems, further enhancing productivity.
