E-commerce is growing rapidly and this affects everything from logistics to customer experience. According to "Svensk Handel" E-commerce indicator full year 2025 e-commerce turnover for the full year 2025 is estimated at SEK 166 billion, which is an increase of 4% compared to 2024.
This growth places higher demands on e-commerce packaging. It is no longer enough to simply protect the product, the packaging must also be practical, responsibly produced and contribute to a positive customer experience.
Therefore, the question is simple: is your e-commerce packaging working as well as it should?
Why standard e-commerce packaging is not enough
At first glance, standard packaging may seem both simple and cost-effective. In practice, however, it often leads to the opposite. A too large an e-commerce package means more air and more filling material. In addition, shipping costs increase. At the same time, there is a greater risk of the product being damaged during transport. Therefore, each package needs to be adapted to both the product and the supply chain.
5 questions that reveal if you have the right e-commerce packaging
To determine if your packaging is well optimized for your product, you can start by asking a few simple questions.
- Is your packaging adapted to the product?
A customized solution reduces the risk of damage and also optimizes material use.
- Does the packaging contain unnecessary air?
Minimizing air is crucial. It reduces costs and makes your e-commerce packaging more sustainable. At the same time, it helps you meet new requirements, such as those from PPWR.
- Is the packaging easy to open?
The opening experience affects the customer's overall impression of your product, so your e-commerce packaging should be smooth and easy to handle.
- Does packaging work for returns?
Returns are a natural part of e-commerce, so your e-commerce packaging should be easy to reseal and reuse.
- Does the packaging protect your product all the way?
Finally, every e-commerce package must withstand the entire logistics chain. The product must arrive intact, clean and in excellent condition.
