It’s critical to delight your customers when receiving online jewelry shipments. Consumers are increasingly buying jewelry online. Online jewelry sales have grown 22%, in comparison to less than 1% for the overall market. Whether you’re a retailer selling online or an e-reseller of jewelry, selling high-end precious stones, or handmade jewelry, jewelry retailers need an online presence.

By packing and shipping their merchandise securely and with a professional appearance, you can make sure that your jewelry business thrives online.

If you’re using plastic tape to seal your cartons, you may be putting your merchandise and customer satisfaction at risk. Plastic tape floats on top of a corrugated carton and is not tamper-evident. Potential thieves can push the carton open and take whatever high value items they’d like and reseal without a trace. If customers don’t receive their items, it can be very costly to your business’s bottom line and reputation.

The solution is to use water-activated tape to seal cartons containing jewelry and other high-value goods. Water activated tape bonds to the carton, making a reinforced tape seal stronger than plastic tape. Water-activated tape also looks much more professional. You only need one strip of tape to secure a carton, making your pick and pack process more efficient.
