Packaging and shipping is one of the most time and expense oriented parts of the eBay seller experience. Finding the right deals on packaging materials and making sure the goods an eBay seller ships to a buyer, survivesduring its journey, across town or across continents in one piece, is becoming more and more important with each new emphasis on the shipping aspect of the eBay buyer experience.
When a recent press release came to my office from Mini PAK'R , I started to think about the changes which have come to all of us at eBay in the last several years. In 2006 I went to eBay live in Las Vegas and one of the items I was looking for was a way to use Air Speed bags in my shipping department. Just two short years ago there was only one vendor on the solutions floor offering Air Speed bag equipment.
The sole vendor of Air Packaging equipment at eBay Live would not even speak with me about the equipment because it seemed he did not think his company should have sent him to an eBay convention, eBay people had no real money to buy his nifty equipment... Bad attitudes get you nowhere, especially when offering merchandise for sale.
It is certainly good to see now in 2008 a vendor will be coming to eBay live with a Air Bag packaging machine which is affordable and compact in size. I know I will be checking out the Mini PAK'R at eBay Live 2008 next week in Chicago...
WITH NEW MINI PAK’R™ AIR CUSHION MACHINE eBAY SELLERS AND OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS CAN MAKE THEIR OWN PACKAGING MATERIALS
The new desktop-sized MINI PAK’R™ air cushion machine from packaging industry leader FP International is revolutionizing the packaging preferences of eBAY sellers and other online retailers. With the versatile MINI PAK”R, users can make six different air cushions on-demand for superior protection of almost any product during shipping. The smart, versatile machine is being demonstrated at eBay Live! at Booth # 1123.
eBay seller Anita Leather says the MINI PAK’R helped to eliminate clutter in her packing room. “I bought the MINI PAK’R because the rolls of bubble wrap and bins of peanuts were taking up too much room. The MINI PAK’R saves space and is very convenient.”
The MINI PAK’R is a must-have office product for those who ship packages on a regular basis and have limited storage space. Its small size and easy operation make it ideal for a wide range of packaging scenarios. The size of a desktop printer or fax machine, the MINI PAK’R can easily sit on a tabletop or be mounted on a wall. Plus, the air cushions it makes are environmentally friendly, and can be reused or recycled.
According to FP International's MINI PAK'R product manager Stephen Mohr, the MINI PAK'R air cushion machine, with its superior bubble and multiple cushion options, is the only one of its type on the market. "The MINI PAK'R provides the Internet retailer the ability to make superior-strength packaging as needed. Until now, only large retail and industrial shippers with access to industrial air cushion machines had these capabilities."
The MINI PAK'R, which sells for $1,799 plus S&H, can be purchased online at http://www.minipakr.com or by calling 1-888-MINIPKR (1-888-646-4757).
