Compact Fireworks Packaging: Save Space for Reduced Shipping & Container Costs

Ever purchased fireworks wholesale for delivery or drop-ship? Those who have know how vital every inch of space on a pallet or container is. Smaller case sizes can make a world of difference. The smaller the case, the more products can fit in one shipment, achieving a more cost-effective order and delivery.

Fireworks businesses can maximize their case quantity by selecting products with compact packaging. These items help retailers and display companies stretch their budgets as much as possible on large wholesale or container orders.

What is compact packaging in fireworks?

Firework products in compact or compressed packaging are specifically designed to eliminate unnecessary piece space. This allows for smaller case sizes, which in turn reduces shipping and storage costs.

There are multiple ways to achieve a reduced case size, including:

• Reducing the amount of cardboard within each piece (ie, spaces between tubes in a multi-shot)
• Reducing the size of cardboard package housing each piece or pack
• Replacing cardboard packaging with flexible PVC bags
• Designing assortment packages to avoid header card attachments

Below is a video from our warehouse showing examples of products with compact packages and the difference in case sizes. Examples in the video include compact 500 Gram Multi-Shots, reloadable Artillery Shells, Tube Racks (or Nine-On-A-Boards), and Assortments.
