Wrap Around Cardboard Mailer Boxes: The Perfect Packaging Solution
There was a lot of talk a couple decades back that with eBooks entering the market, it would be the death of paperbacks, novels and most types of printed reading material. Well, that clearly didn’t happen. And we have seen similar claims in the music space.
To give a small recap, vinyl record or LP sales fell drastically with the introduction of CDs, and CDs faced the same fate when iTunes & other streaming services entered the market. However, in recent years, there has been a resurgence of old music technology, with LPs becoming extremely popular. With individuals, collectors and online boutique businesses selling and buying LPs online.
If we look at today’s current shopping behaviour, over 80% of Australians are purchasing online and this is expected to grow further. In turn, protective packaging has gained a greater role with this shift in buying behaviour. Given that, when it comes to packing and shipping items, businesses have had to look for the most efficient and cost-effective packaging solutions.
One option that has gained popularity in recent years is our very own wrap around cardboard mailer boxes: the Qikpak. These versatile and durable boxes offer a range of benefits for businesses and consumers alike. More on this below…

They are made from sturdy corrugated cardboard (B-Flute), which provides excellent protection for the items inside. These boxes are designed to be easy to assemble, eliminating the need for additional packing materials such bubble wrap, while its composition ensures the right sturdiness and overall maximum protection.
