1. Your business needs packaging orders of more than 10,000

Is your packaging struggling to keep up with orders, or do you find yourself frequently reordering lower order quantities? It could signify your sales ramping up, and your current packaging supplies might not be enough. Turning to wholesale shipping and packaging supplies will make things smoother in the long run.

As orders get more frequent, give your business a bit of a break by turning to fulfillment batching or looking into fulfillment centers

2. You need hands-on guidance from a dedicated account manager

When running a budding business, you don’t need us to tell you that there are a lot of different moving parts! Moving onward as a small-to-medium business means you’ll need a helping hand during the packaging personalization process. Having a knowledgeable account manager to help you navigate the designing and ordering of your wholesale packaging supply will save valuable time and energy.

If you want to branch out and create multiple matching products into a bundle, like stickers, tissue, boxes, and mailers, an account manager will have your back and work with you on branding your wholesale packaging and shipping supplies. An account manager can communicate your vision to designers and manufacturers and make sure packaging is perfectly produced for you to keep focusing on reaching your brand’s goals.

5. You want to minimize your brand’s environmental impact on a larger scale

Growing as a brand doesn’t equate to adopting bad habits that negatively affect the planet. Wholesale eco-friendly packaging means that you can worry less about your brand leaving an environmental impact! The tendlyn Eco-Alliance is a program open to tendlyn Plus partners where brands can sport a sustainability badge on their wholesale packaging and signal their eco-conscious goals to customers.

Emissions from shipping your business’s wholesale supplies are offset by Eco-Alliance’s planet-positive initiatives, such as reforestation and carbon reduction. By joining the tendlyn Eco-Alliance and choosing more sustainable wholesale packaging, your brand becomes part of an environmentally empowered community leading industries toward more sustainable business practices. And customers will wholly appreciate the transparency you provide directly to them through your retail packaging supplies – in wholesale quantities, without waste.

6. You’d like to turn your unboxings into smart packaging experiences

Smart packaging is an upward trend that businesses are beginning to catch on to. Through smart packaging, customers can experience your brand before, during, and even well after the initial unboxing experience. QR codes are an excellent example of smart capabilities that turn your packaging into interactive activities.

A custom QR code on product boxes and mailers or QR code stickers atop shipping boxes and takeout bags let your customers get familiar with your business’s story, offerings and services, product care information and instructions, and sustainability tips that can lead to repeat purchases.

Create custom QR code packaging like smart shipping boxes and more with tendlyn Plus!

tendlyn Plus can help ease your business’s packaging into smart packaging that’s cutting-edge and convenient for all involved. Let your tendlyn Plus account manager know that you’d like to include your brand’s custom QR code on your wholesale packaging and shipping supplies, and sit back as innovative packaging takes your brand up a notch!

7. You’re becoming a global brand, and need your wholesale supplies to meet you wherever, whenever

Expanding your brand’s operations doesn’t mean staying in one place forever, and changing space and scenery is sometimes unavoidable when you’ve got fast-growing sales! If you require split shipments to reach different locations and avoid placing separate orders, tendlyn Plus is around to save you the logistical hassle. No matter where your business is settling, you’ll still get premium wholesale packaging designed and delivered right to your door(s).

Send your wholesale packaging and shipping boxes to your HQ, stock satellite offices with branded goodies for events and presentations, or equip your fulfillment team with custom tape and labels. Whichever time zones and regions your business operates across, it’s no issue (pun intended) for your brand’s wholesale supplies to stay replenished.
