If the answer to that was yes then there are 101 things you need to consider before just rushing ahead and doing so, you will need your own website built, develop your new products, undergo some market research and various other things that you need to sort out.

One of the thing you will need to sort before anything else is your packaging, it doesn’t seem like on the face of it packaging will cause you too many problem but you would be wrong.

Packaging can determine the size of your product, the price of your products and where you can ship your merchandise too. You need to get the right packaging to suite your product and there are several things to take into consideration, what the box is going to be used for packaging or shipping, the dimensions, the colour, the thickness and the quantity.

Building a box right for you is an art form, there are systems out there that let you fully customise your order to meet requirements which could be really useful. Before rushing for packaging there are a few things you have to consider….

The Colour – This should suite your business, there are two options available brown and white colours. If you order in bulk then you can get your boxes with your own personal print design to suite your business precisely.

Width – The thickness of your box is crucial. You don’t want your box to break before it gets to its intended recipient as that can cause damage to the product inside. The thickness of your box depends on how heavy the item inside is and what kind journey you are sending it on, for example a delivery truck doesn’t put as much stress on the box as a journey on a ship.

Dimensions – It’s important to get the dimensions of your boxes right before you order them; you need to ensure that they are fit for purpose. This is also something you really have to look into if you have a variety of different products and whether you need to ship them or deliver them.
