With 83% of Australian online shoppers shopping online every month and the Australian e-commerce market valued at US$89.4 billion in 2024, smart packaging decisions have never been more critical for business success. The right packaging bundles can streamline operations when chosen strategically.
Why Packaging Bundles Are Essential for Australian E-commerce Success
The Cost Reality for Australian Businesses
Australian businesses face unique challenges with packaging costs. For small businesses with uniform products like cosmetics and accessories, standardised packaging bought in bulk dramatically lowers cost over time. Bulk buying offers lower per-unit costs for businesses using packaging regularly.
The numbers speak for themselves. When you consider that wholesale packaging allows businesses to lower per-unit packaging costs and direct savings toward growth areas like marketing or product development, packaging bundles become an investment rather than an expense.
Consumer Expectations Drive Packaging Decisions
Today's Australian consumers have clear expectations. 58% want recyclable packaging, with 37% preferring reusable packaging and 34% choosing biodegradable options. However, balance is crucial—47% of consumers would be put off buying again if there was too much packaging, making "overpackaging" a major contributor to negative customer experiences.
How Custom Branded Mailer Boxes Transform Business Results
Brand Recognition That Drives Repeat Business
Custom branded mailer boxes serve as mobile advertisements, extending your marketing reach beyond digital channels. When customers receive a professionally branded package, you're creating a tactile brand experience that digital marketing alone cannot replicate.
Current Opportunity: NEON Packaging currently offers up to 30% off custom branded mailer boxes with volume purchases, making professional branding accessible for businesses of all sizes.
Unboxing Experience as Competitive Advantage
The unboxing moment influences purchase decisions and social sharing. Well-designed packaging creates Instagram-worthy moments that customers voluntarily share, providing free marketing reach.
Design Considerations:
-
Clean, professional artwork that reflects brand values
-
Appropriate sizing that protects products without excess material
-
Sustainable materials that align with consumer preferences
Seasonal Packaging for Australian Businesses
Peak Season Planning
E-commerce is a year-round activity for most Australians, however there are some peak times to consider when managing your packaging. Custom printed packaging is perfect for holidays and is something worth considering. Here are the peak holiday seasons and what to prepare for:

Weather Considerations
Australia is known for a wide variety of weather conditions, so it’s important to consider this when choosing your packaging. It must withstand extreme heat, cold, and humidity as well as rough handling during transit. Here are our top 3 weather conditions to consider:
-
Northern regions: Humidity-resistant materials prevent damage
-
Southern regions: Insulation considerations for temperature-sensitive products
-
Coastal areas: Salt air resistance for metal packaging components
