The unboxing experience is very important to some brands (more often high-value goods, and one-time purchase items). It all starts with how those products are placed in their box.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The best way to give your customers a great unboxing experience is to customize your fulfillment with VAS. Whether you want to make sure certain products will be taken out first, or you want to ensure the brand name on your product is facing the customer when they open the carton, these are kitting instructions that need to be specified in your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/michaeljbrumm.com\/dcl-v3\/blog\/fulfillment\/pictorial-work-instructions\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">work instructions<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Using eco-friendly packaging or branded tape on the outside of the box are also considerations that fall under value-added services.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you want your boxes to stand out from all the others, you\u2019ll need a 3PL with a willingness to help set your brand apart. Value-added services will be the differentiation you need to stay competitive in the market.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Insider insight: make sure you plan your VAS ahead of time. Sometimes it may take a few months to set up the operations properly. Here\u2019s a list of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/michaeljbrumm.com\/dcl-v3\/blog\/fulfillment\/advanced-planning-fulfillment\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">value-added services perfect for peak season<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to start planning now.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cost Reduction: Save on Shipping Fees\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You may think value-added services means adding another line-item to your 3PL\u2019s monthly invoice. While it will cost you extra, you must weigh the cost with the benefit. In some cases, outsourcing special projects to your 3PL might save you money in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, special storage is considered a value-added service. Ask your 3PL if they have the capacity to receive more products from you and store it until it should be moved into active inventory.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your products don\u2019t have to be moved from an assembly center to a warehouse for postponement work, and then to the fulfillment center to get packaged and shipped, that\u2019s going to save you a lot in transportation fees. By reducing the movement of your product, you&#8217;ll save money in the long run.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Efficiency: All Projects Will be Done by the Same Team<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your 3PL can set up multiple special projects for you (for example, light assembly, returns management, and product disposal), you won\u2019t have to find another partner to outsource that work to.
