E-commerce Printing & Packaging Inserts guide
What should go inside an e-commerce package?
The best unboxing usually includes a thank-you note, a card with a code for the next order, and a lookbook or catalog that shows off what else you sell. Printed inserts cost little per order and turn a one-time buyer into a repeat customer.
Your checklist
- A thank-you notecard in every box
- A full-line catalog for repeat customers
- A reorder postcard or coupon card with a code
- A lookbook or catalog for new collections
- Care, sizing, or how-to cards
- Bookmarks or small freebies customers keep
- Business cards for pop-ups and markets
Lookbooks and catalogs drive the next order
An insert gets one glance; a lookbook gets read. Put a saddle-stitched lookbook in first orders and seasonal launches, and send a perfect-bound catalog to your best customers once your line passes about 60 pages. Brands that print a catalog give customers a reason to browse again away from the screen.
Size inserts to your packaging
Measure the smallest box or mailer you ship and choose sizes that fit flat. 4 × 6" and 5 × 5" cards suit small mailers; a 5.5 × 8.5" lookbook fits most apparel boxes.
Keep stock without overbuying
Inserts go fast when orders spike. Reorder the same files from your account in a couple of clicks, and use smaller, more frequent runs when you change offers often.
How much to order, and when
Notecards and flyers start at 100, so you can print inserts for a launch without overbuying. Postcards start at 250, and coupon cards at 1,000. Reorder inserts in step with your order volume, and print a new run whenever the offer or code changes.
Mistakes to avoid
Choosing a card size that bends to fit the package. Printing a discount code that expires before the stock runs out. Leaving your website or social handle off the insert. Using a gloss finish on cards you want to sign by hand; soft-touch and uncoated stocks take ink better.
