Stand Out With Custom Ice Cream Boxes
Using custom ice cream boxes is a cost-effective way to grab consumer attention, drive sales, and keep your customers coming back for more. But is transitioning to custom boxes really the best choice for your organization? How do you get started? Here, we’ll break it down, step-by-step.
What are Corrugated Ice Cream Boxes?
When you think of corrugated ice cream boxes, you might think of the cardboard box that holds ice cream sandwiches or other tasty treats. While those are definitely a viable option, you can also replace round, plastic ice cream tubs with corrugated boxes. This kind of packaging offers a ton of advantages over its plastic counterpart and can increase your bottom line over time.
Benefits of Corrugated Ice Cream Boxes
Saves Space
Corrugated ice cream boxes are usually rectangular, which offers more logistical benefits than round plastic containers. You can save space during transport, and likely lower your overall logistics costs. However, if you want to stick with a round container, corrugated material can also be molded into this shape.
Excellent Insulation Ability
With thick walls and opaque material, corrugated ice cream boxes effectively protect your goods during transit.
Maximize Retail Space
When you put your item into a retail location, you want to make sure you’re maximizing your space. Switching to boxes can remove any unnecessary gaps or wasted space, which can only benefit you as a wholesaler.
Customizable
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of corrugated material is it’s easy to add custom branding. With your logo and other eye-catching graphics on display, you’ll likely tempt more consumers to try your product.
Cost-Effective
Corrugated material is one of the most cost-effective packaging materials on the market. There’s a low cost of labor to manufacture the material and its lightweight qualities keep transportation costs low.
Invoke Feelings of Nostalgia
It’s widely known that provoking feelings of nostalgia increases the chance that consumers will buy from a brand. But, how does that fit into custom ice cream boxes? Well, ice cream used to come in boxes, before they were phased out in the 90s in favor of the round shape. However, some brands have brought the box style back into play, and have benefited dramatically from the nostalgia factor.
More Environmentally Friendly
Many consumers are looking for brands to make an effort with their sustainability practices; corrugated packaging gives you an opportunity to showcase your environmental responsibility. Corrugated packaging decomposes naturally, is easy to recycle, and comes from a renewable source — trees. Plastic, on the other hand, is made from oil, is hard to recycle, and can take hundreds of years to break down. When considering the two, it’s obvious that corrugated is the more sustainable choice.
More than a third of global consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products, which shows you how important sustainability is to modern-day consumers. And it’s not just a trend among younger people, either. Globally, 85% of people said they have shifted their purchasing habits towards more sustainable products in the past five years. This trend will only continue as more Gen Z consumers enter the market — arguably the most sustainably-minded generation to date.
