The one thing that all of us human beings are not certain of, is future.

Past is known, the present is what we make of it and future is only dimly visible. It is hard to say how the turn of events and the tides will make or break someone’s or some company’s future.

Same is the case with shipping and logistics companies, retail companies and the custom boxes that become the ping-pong balls between the both.

There is something that we are pretty sure about, and that is the never-ending and untiring advent of the modern technology. Technology will not stop and it will change how we look at the industry of custom packaging, and it will also change the how they are delivered or made.

Let us have a peek into the future of custom packaging and delivering:

Well, we have talked about this at length. Amazon Key is new Amazon system to deliver the custom boxes inside the home instead of leaving them outside.

Amazon, as we know this legendary retail company, is never going to stop innovating. Now they come up with an exciting offer and that is to turn the game. People love to receive gifts and surprises, and while Amazon items are not gifts and you have to pay for them, you receive them with zest and gusto.

Amazon Key allows you to receive your purchased items wrapped inside custom boxes while you are away at home, but still monitoring the Amazon delivery people opening the door with Amazon key and placing your purchase inside your home, wherever you want.

United Parcel Service delivers a package at a home in Tampa, Fla and while it is not the first time that they tried a drone delivery, this one is very important because UPS used the service of another company Workhorse to get the customized van and battery charging station for the delivery drone.

The drone can stay afloat for a maximum of 20 to 30 minutes and then it needs a battery recharge in order to go back to the air. It also needs to be noted that it was not an actual delivery but the demonstration of how drone deliveries can be made possible in future.

While drones will be able to fly in narrow alleys and get to the door of a flat on the 20th floor while evading obstructions including human beings, is still a question. But no doubt, the future of wholesale custom boxes and their delivery is going to be changed.

Amazon let Revlon brand and design its boxes and it happened first time in the history of this billion dollar company.

Revlon fashioned those Amazon boxes with Revlon name, image of a heart and the slogan for the campaign #LoveIn3Words. The campaign was a hit and soon people started talking about the possibility of Amazon letting their boxes be available to advertisers.

This is all about partnering with the best retailers from all over the world and encouraging them to join Amazon. The advertisers and retailers will use these boxes to boost their brand, Amazon will enjoy its cut and see these businesses thriving with help from Amazon and giving Amazon a very handsome amount in terms of commissions.

The business is going to change and with the passage of time more and more custom boxes ideas will rock the market and people will see how many factors will affect the custom packaging industry.
