Get Free Packaging Materials for Your Shipping Requirements!!

Haven’t you always wanted to find a way in which you could get packaging material for packing your stuff without having to pay for the materials? Well here is your chance to get all the materials that you want and not pay anything at all. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is true if you can relate to the fact that getting “free packaging materials” means finding ways in which you can get it included as part of a shipping service, or you could re-use materials.

I know that the minute you read the “free packaging materials” phrase, you were super excited because you thought this could be a super give-away sale. It may not be a sale in the literal sense, but I could provide you some suggestions which would help you to save up considerably on costs. 

Here is what you need to do:

Ask for “Free Packaging” At the Post Office / Shipping Centre

“Does the shipper / postal service centre offer free packaging?” You should definitely find the answer to this question as it could help you to save up on costs considerably. Sometimes, the carrier could provide a free box or a large enough package for you to put the item and send it to the recipient. Since the box comes as an inclusive part of the offer, you don’t have to pay extra for the packaging materials. 

Find Used Packing Boxes and Leftover Supplies

The problem with most people is that they tend to dispose the used packing boxes and supplies. They never consider re-using it for further applications. While this may be an indirect loss for them, this gives you ample opportunities for getting your hands on some freebies.

The best place to start searching would be local supermarkets and grocery /retail outlets. These facilities have a continuous supply / removal of packing boxes so if you approach them, then you can get the required number of boxes on a regular basis for an almost insignificant cost. You could also convince them to give it to you for free. 

The next best place to check is your home / office. It might seem like the first option when it comes to finding used boxes, but trust me, the chances of getting one are higher in retail outlets than your home. Ask around for any recent items or gifts that you may have received. There is a good chance that the box (in which it came) is lying around the place somewhere. All you need to do is find it.

Learn to Save Resources

Never throw away packaging material that is good enough to be used again. Save every box and all the packaging supplies that you can manage feasibly. Make sure you use only as per requirement and save the resources. This could prove to be an important supply of packaging materials when you need to pack your stuff. You could also ask around for used boxes and other supplies. Neighbours are usually ready to help (if you are nice to them).

Getting free packaging material isn’t difficult if you know how and where to find them. The most important aspect of this is to inculcate careful use of resources and to re-use materials as much as possible. Monetary benefits might be the primary agenda on your mind, but in a way, you would also be contributing to environment safety and sustainability. Now this is something that you could be proud of! 

So go on and find your free packaging material. It might be lying there waiting for you to claim it! In the rare situation that you have not been able to get your hands on free materials, then check out DCG Pac’s collection of packaging materials and supplies at www.dcgpac.com.
