Most people who do cross-border e-commerce have experienced similar troubles: the product factory has already prepared it, and the next step is to directly send it to the cloud warehouse, but what about the packaging materials? Should the factory install it randomly or prepare it in advance? Many sellers are concerned that if the packaging is not suitable, it not only affects transportation safety but also makes shipping costs unfriendly.
So, a seemingly simple but crucial question was repeatedly raised: can cross-border cloud warehouses provide packaging materials? Can one send their own products directly from the factory?
1:Why are sellers increasingly concerned about packaging materials?
The freight cost of cross-border logistics is mostly calculated based on volume, weight, and material risk.
Choosing the wrong packaging can directly cause the following problems: oversized packaging materials, soaring volume and weight, and doubled shipping costs
Small packaging material: Increased extrusion damage rate and higher after-sales costs
The packaging material does not meet the buyer's psychological expectations: affecting the high praise rate
The packaging material does not meet the logistics requirements: there are problems with customs clearance and transportation
This is also why sellers prefer to have professional cloud warehouses handle packaging. On the one hand, it is more professional, and on the other hand, it is more worry free, without having to go back and forth.
2:Can the factory directly ship to the cloud warehouse?
Of course.
In fact, more and more sellers are shipping their goods directly from factories to cloud warehouses, which can save time on self pickup, secondary transit, and warehousing.
As long as the product information is marked before shipment SKU、 The number of items and whether packaging adjustments are needed will be processed by the cloud warehouse according to the rules, including shelving, scanning codes, sorting, etc. The entire process is relatively smooth.
But there is also a core point here: Do we need cloud warehouses to provide packaging materials? What sizes are needed? Do you need to repackage? These are usually communicated clearly before storage, which can improve shipping efficiency.
3:What packaging materials are usually provided by cross-border cloud warehouses?
Most cloud warehouses will prepare regular packaging for sellers, such as common courier bags, bubble envelopes, large and small cardboard boxes, and pallets for large items.
Sellers do not need to purchase dozens of sizes themselves, they only need to specify their packaging preferences in the shipping requirements. For example, Taijia Cloud Warehouse will prepare sizes that are suitable for both small and large items, including:
Neutral express bag (suitable for clothing, small daily necessities, etc.)
17*30
32*45
40*45
40*60
50*60

Bubble envelope (suitable for skincare products, small electronic accessories, accessories)
145*170

From regular express bags to bubble envelopes suitable for fragile items, to various types of cardboard boxes and pallets, these sizes of coverage are sufficient to meet the vast majority of cross-border seller scenarios.
There are many cloud warehouses on the market that provide packaging materials for sellers, some charge fees, while others are priced based on cost. Mature warehousing service providers will prepare various sizes of neutral express bags, bubble envelopes, cardboard boxes, and pallets for different categories. Sellers do not need to make additional purchases, but only need to choose the appropriate size according to their own SKU characteristics.
No need to stock up on packaging materials, no need to worry about incorrect sizes, no need to spend extra time researching logistics volume billing rules, and focus more on product selection and operation. This is also why many sellers prefer to have cloud warehouses handle packaging directly.
