Packaging for flowers and plants
In the spring of 2021, characterized by new restrictions, unlike last spring, it is allowed retail sale of flowers and plants so you can shop directly at shops and nurseries. This allows you to personally choose the floral gift to give or give yourself, and once at home we can independently organize the shipment.
Many companies have developed and implemented, during the lockdown months, the online sale of flowers and plants and have chosen paper and cardboard packages for deliveries throughout Italy and Europe, to guarantee the protection of cut flowers and potted plants.
To ensure that the fresh flowers and plants arrive at their destination in perfect condition, whether it is a shipment, but also in case of transport for a trip or move, you should know that the cardboard can be of great help.
Practical advice:
• Come with cardboard box, you can also use your own packaging if these are solid with intact edges;
• lock the flowers inside the box: use corrugated cardboard clamps and dividers to lock the product;
• better to add directional arrows externally on the packaging indicating the direction to be respected;
• to prevent ground loss from the pot, cover it with cardboard discs;
• do not water the soil, the water may leak and cause damage to the product and packaging;
• verify that the weight and size of the package meet the size limits of the shipping service used;
• always carry the label on the package.
Although the horticulture industry has lived and is experiencing very difficult months, the market has not stopped and has found new channels compared to traditional sales in shops and nurseries, innovative method so much appreciated by the consumer who recorded a surge in online sales started during the quarantine and continued in the following months.
