Safe Shipping Considerations: Making Sure Documents Stay Protected

It's likely that as an online business you have put a lot of effort into making sure your customers have a great experience. From approving the online images and providing as much as possible information about the products, to sending a follow-up email to every customer, all for the purpose of making your customers happy. But when it comes to the point where customers can finally experience your product in person, it's the package they see first. Unfortunately, we have all heard horror stories or maybe have been victims ourselves of poor shipping and handling practices. The truth is that the whole responsibility lies with you as a seller to protect your package from mishandling as much as possible.

One of the best possible way to start your product on it's shipping journey is to get tight-fitting containers that are snug fit for the goods you sell, so they are well protected during transport. Also, in order to provide the right cushioning that fragile items need, you need to put a layer of padding or filler in and around the item and then gently shake the box to ensure no movement.

Packages are usually sent accompanied by documents like invoices, warranty information, operating instructions, manifest logs and much more. The thing about these documents is that they come printed on a paper, which is not really known for its durability and resistant nature. In fact, the paper is mostly known for being easily damaged beyond repair if left out in the elements for even a short period of time.

When it comes to protecting your documents during transport and shipping, there really isn’t any alternative to the invoice envelopes like doculopes. They are made using tough plastic that protects documents from damage and tears and can easily resist water, oil, and dirt. The strong adhesive backing sticks to different surfaces and therefore makes them ideal for shipping boxes and mailing tubes.

Invoice envelopes are also very convenient to use, mainly because each doculope has a simple but effective closure that both keeps your documents inside and stops them from falling out, and lets them be easily inserted and taken out without having to tear or cut open the plastic by force. Also depending on your preference, they can come different variety. For instance, they can be available in red or white or can be plain or with printed message.

And finally, since many stores offer bulk buy quantities, buying invoice envelopes is a cost effective solution. Moreover, when you protect the documents, you can avoid the potential cost of having to send the documents again and again when they are lost or damaged if not handled properly.
