Record boxes, bags, labels, tape, protective material, printing, and labour. Calculate the average packaging cost by product type rather than using one guess for every order. Fragile, liquid, and large items need a different allowance from simple products.
Test whether cheaper material increases damage or returns. Buy common packaging in sensible quantities, but do not tie cash in sizes the business rarely uses. Review the cost when supplier prices or delivery routes change.
KobStore can help a Kenyan seller present the product and delivery offer clearly while internal costing includes the full packaging requirement. Accurate pricing prevents packaging from quietly reducing profit.
