For overseas buyers of acrylic light boxes, international freight costs have long been a key factor affecting procurement budgets. The fragility of acrylic materials and the irregularity of light box sizes often lead to excessive packaging, increased volumetric weight, and ultimately higher shipping expenses. To address this pain point, Kingwe-star has recently launched a set of optimized packaging solutions, helping clients in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia reduce international freight costs by 15%-25% while ensuring product safety during transportation.
Acrylic light boxes, as high-value commercial display products, require strict protection during transportation. Traditional packaging methods usually rely on thick foam padding, wooden crates, and independent cartons for each product. While this ensures a certain level of safety, it also brings obvious drawbacks.
"We used to receive complaints from clients that the freight cost of a batch of acrylic light boxes even accounted for 30% of the product value," said Luna, the overseas logistics manager of Kingwe-star. "On one hand, the bulky wooden crates increase the volumetric weight, leading to higher charges by freight forwarders; on the other hand, the non-recyclable packaging materials also bring additional disposal costs for clients in regions with strict environmental regulations."
In addition, traditional packaging is prone to problems such as loose padding during long-distance shipping, resulting in scratches on the acrylic surface or damage to the internal LED components, which increases the cost of after-sales service and delays the client's project progress.
After in-depth research on the transportation routes of major overseas markets and cooperation with professional packaging material suppliers, Kingwe-star has developed a targeted optimized packaging plan, focusing on three key aspects:
The new packaging replaces traditional foam and wooden crates with high-density EPE pearl cotton and honeycomb paperboards. These materials have excellent shock absorption performance—tests show that they can reduce the impact force on the acrylic surface by 40% compared with traditional materials. At the same time, their weight is only 1/3 of the wooden crates, which significantly reduces the volumetric weight of the goods.
Notably, all new packaging materials meet the EU REACH certification and the U.S. FDA standards, which are recyclable and degradable, helping clients avoid environmental fines in the process of customs clearance and disposal.
Aiming at the problem of irregular sizes of customized acrylic light boxes, the company has launched a modular packaging system. By pre-producing a series of standard-sized inner supports and outer cartons, it can be flexibly combined according to the actual size of the product. For example, for multiple small-sized acrylic light boxes, they can be placed in a single outer carton through layered inner supports, reducing the number of packages; for large-sized light boxes, detachable reinforced frames are used to ensure stability while avoiding redundant packaging.
In addition, the outer carton is designed with a "double-layer edge" structure, which enhances the compressive strength during stacking and reduces the risk of damage caused by extrusion in the container.
The company's overseas logistics team will also provide personalized packaging suggestions based on the client's shipping route and transportation method. For example, for air freight clients who are sensitive to weight, they will use ultra-lightweight materials on the premise of ensuring safety; for sea freight clients, they will focus on enhancing the moisture-proof performance of the packaging and add moisture-absorbing bags and waterproof membranes to avoid damage caused by high humidity during long-distance sea transportation.
A large retail chain in Germany recently purchased 500 customized acrylic light boxes for its store image upgrading. Initially, according to the traditional packaging plan, the estimated freight cost was $12,000. After adopting the optimized packaging solution of Kingwe-star, the actual freight cost was only $9,600, a reduction of 20%.
"The optimized packages are not only lighter but also more compact, which saves a lot of space in the warehouse after we receive the goods," said the procurement manager of the retail chain. "More importantly, all 500 light boxes arrived in perfect condition, and we didn't encounter any problems during customs clearance, which greatly accelerated the store decoration progress."
To help more overseas clients reduce transportation costs, Kingwe-star currently provides free packaging test services for new and old clients. Clients only need to provide the size, quantity, and shipping destination of the acrylic light boxes, and the company's professional team will simulate the transportation environment to conduct drop tests, compression tests, and vibration tests, and finally provide the most cost-effective packaging and logistics combination plan.
"In the highly competitive international light box market, helping clients reduce costs is equivalent to enhancing their market competitiveness," said the general manager of Kingwe-star. "In the future, we will continue to invest in packaging technology research and development, and work with overseas clients to create a more efficient and economical cross-border supply chain."
