If you own any type of establishment in the UAE and are worried about the packaging materials and methods you will use to package your brands in, don’t fret. Multipack UAE has you covered. We sell a variety of retail packaging supplies and custom retail packaging to meet all of your diverse and challenging packaging needs.
How Does Custom Packaging Enhance Brand Appeal?
Custom retail packaging plays a vital role in marketing your brands in an era when competition is cutthroat, and with few exceptions, brands are virtually indistinguishable. You can use custom packaging to showcase what you sell, what your company does, and what it stands for. But custom retail packaging does much more than that.
You can display corporate logos, taglines, and more to communicate your brand’s identity, personality, and values. That will give people in your target audiences a clear picture of what you sell and how their features will benefit them. It’s possible to make your packaging stand out by being creative and innovative with design elements, shapes, materials, and colors.
People will think that you sell a great brand if your custom retail packaging is eye-catching and snazzy.
Which Retail Packaging Supplies Make for the Best Retail Packaging?
The ideal retail packaging supplies to use depend on the nature of the item you’re trying to package. Paper and plastic boxes or envelopes are the best candidates when you’re trying to package lightweight items like clothes and costume jeweler. If you are selling heavier items like machinery or food goods, you should strongly consider using metal or glass as packaging materials.
But you must be mindful of the following when you are shopping for retail packaging supplies:
- The styles you want displayed on your packaging.
- The conditions your package will be shipped in.
- How long the brand lasts
- The nature of the end use
Glass
Glass is safe and is made from melted sand. It may break fairly easily but you can easily recycle it. If glass packaging breaks, cracks, chips, or shatters during transport, it may damage the goods it is transporting. That costs the manufacturer money because it will have to pay for cleaning the mess up and replacing the damaged products. Glass packaging is also more expensive than other types of packaging like plastic because of its weight – glass packaging producers need to use more energy to produce the glass.
However, because it tends to be thick and nonporous, glass is an excellent barrier material. So, it keeps the flavours and other attributes of the products it’s transporting well confined within its barriers. It can also dress the appearance of the products it transports. That’s especially true of candles, soda pop, and liquor.
Manufacturers can also reuse glass packaging. So, it’s a form of eco-friendly retail packaging.
Plastic
Plastic packaging is made from polymers. Plastic can take many forms, shapes, sizes, and textures. For example, it can be thick and rigid, as is the case with packing boxes. It can also be thin and flexible, as is the case with bags, stickers, and wrappers. Plastic can also be used as an insulator inside other types of packaging. That applies to peanuts and bubble wrap.
Plastic has many properties and attributes that make it a great candidate for packaging goods and products. It’s lightweight, cost-effective, and strong. So, it can adequately protect the items that it transports long distances. Plastic packaging tape can also bind and join items together securely to make them safe for transport.
Plastic is not easily recyclable. Instead, it often ends up in streams and rivers where it can wreak havoc on the local wildlife. However, there is a silver lining because some researchers have discovered how to turn plastic into fuel.
Paper
Paper is pulp that is made from many sources including wood, bamboo, or hemp. It can take many forms as packaging, including envelopes, wrapping, packaging boxes and parcels, and more. It can also take the form of shredded packing material and paperboard. The good news is that you can recycle paper packaging.
Paper packaging is durable and lightweight. Those two qualities make it a great packaging material candidate.
Metal
Metal packaging is made out of many raw Earth materials including aluminium and steel. Metal packaging is often more durable than paper, plastic, and even glass packaging. Metal cans can package a variety of materials including sodas, paint, and preserved foods. Metal can preserve these goods for longer and keep them fresh. That’s one reason why it’s a popular packaging material for various manufacturers.
Multi-layer Packaging
Multi-layer packaging is made from many different materials. To use an example, juice is often packaged in boxes that are made from polyethylene, aluminium, and paper. Fertilizer bags are made from a combination of paper and plastic since plastic can absorb web materials better.
Multi-layer packaging is great at keeping goods from spoiling quickly by keeping moisture out of them. It’s not easy to recycle this type of packaging though because it can be difficult to separate the different types of packaging materials and recycle them separately.
Success Stories From Successful Clients
Many clients have succeeded using Multipack UAE’s packaging solutions. Here are some of their testimonials.
- As a busy restaurant owner, I have successfully wrapped my sandwiches and sharmas using Multipack UAE’s sandwich containers. They are made from thick and durable plastic. Not only are these eco-friendly, but they can also withstand hot temperatures (some of my heated sandwiches can get extremely hot) without warping. I swear by Multipack UAE’s sandwich containers.

How to Choose the Right Packaging for Retail
You need to consider many factors including your goods’ size, weight, shape, shelf-life, and fragility. Believe it or not, these factors play a large role in determining the materials and thickness you will use for your packaging. You need to consider your budget. While custom packaging does a better job of advertising your goods and protecting them, it can also be more expensive, depending on the type of packaging you use.
Premium packaging will protect your goods better, but it can be pricier. You need to consider your product’s life cycle as well. So, certain considerations are crucial:
- Storage
- Shipping destinations
- Distribution
- Retail display requirements
The conditions that these considerations will take place in will play an important role in determining the type and nature of your packaging materials.
