According to a report by Logistics Watchblog (https://www.logistik-watchblog.de/neuheiten/3273-black-week-viermal-hohes-paketaufkommen.html), package volumes during Black Friday Week are four times higher than during normal weeks. The immense demand for online orders, driven by customers looking for the best deals, requires well-designed and efficient logistics and packaging.
The challenges in the packaging industry during this time are many:
1. packaging efficiency: folding carton and e-commerce packaging manufacturers must ensure that their products are designed to optimize the shipping and storage process. Packaging large volumes of products quickly and without errors is critical.
2. Sustainability: In an era where sustainability is playing an increasingly important role, packaging manufacturers must develop solutions that are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Increased shipping volumes inevitably lead to more packaging material and waste, challenging the industry to create sustainable packaging options.
3. Delivery times: Customers expect fast delivery, especially during Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday. Manufacturers and retailers need to ensure their packaging and logistics processes meet delivery time and condition requirements.
