**Packaging Options for Amazon Products**
When it comes to packaging your products for Amazon, there are three main types of packaging you can choose from: boxes, poly bags, and blister packs. The type of packaging you select should be based on the level of protection your product needs to prevent damage during handling and shipping, as well as the overall unboxing experience you want to provide.
Boxes are a popular choice and can range from plain generic cardboard boxes to custom-designed boxes that add value to the product. Poly bags are clear plastic bags that can also be customized with designer elements or insert cards. Blister packs are another option, particularly for products that need to be displayed, like toothbrushes or marker pens.
Regardless of the packaging type, it’s important to ensure that all the contents of your product are contained within a single, secure package. This helps prevent any loose items or parts from getting lost or damaged during shipping.
