A logistics model for online selling where the shop does not stock goods, and the shipment is fulfilled directly from the wholesaler to the end retail customer.
Eco-friendly protective void fill cut from coloured, rigid paper in an accordion pattern. Ideally absorbs impacts, secures the product and adds elegance to gift and cosmetics parcels.
The final and most expensive stage in the entire logistics chain: the delivery of a parcel by city van directly to the customer's doorstep or to their local parcel locker.
Weight measured in grams per square metre. The higher the value (e.g. 100 gsm), the more crush-resistant, stiff and difficult to puncture the paper is.
A formula used by courier companies (e.g. DPD, UPS) that determines the billable weight based on the parcel's volume. A light but large air-filled parcel can cost far more than a small, heavy box.
