Here’s a guide to help you navigate the holiday gifting rush with ease, ensuring your customers, partners, and suppliers receive your company's Christmas presents on time.
Would you like to thank your customers, suppliers, and/or business partners for the collaboration?
Corporate Christmas presents are a great way to maintain and nurture valuable business relationships, but the process can be time-consuming - especially if you want your presents to feel personal.
To reach the finish line without stress, planning and the right digital tools are essential.
In this guide, we focus on how you can prepare and ship your company’s Christmas presents through Shipmondo - from address file to finished shipping labels.
Packaging and repacking: Know the carriers’ requirements
Before sending your presents, it’s important to check the carriers’ requirements for packaging, parcel size, and weight.
Does a carrier, for example, require a specific type of box or label? And do the presents need to be weighed individually? By ensuring your parcels meet these requirements, you can avoid delays and extra costs.
When the presents arrive from your supplier, the existing packaging can often be reused, but usually stronger packaging, extra filler in the boxes, and possibly gift wrapping are needed before the parcels can be sent to the recipients.
If you need information about specific carriers’ requirements, you can read more 104139 Practical Information when booking through Shipmondo’s shipping agreements, or we recommend contacting the carrier directly.
When choosing packaging, it’s a good idea to look for green and sustainable alternatives. This is not only better for the environment but also sends a signal about your company’s values.
Sending Christmas presents: Easy preparation of shipping labels
Once your Christmas presents are wrapped and ready for delivery, the next step is to get them sent out.
Instead of filling out shipping labels manually at the post office or parcel shop - which is both time-consuming and costly - you can use Shipmondo to streamline the process.
With Shipmondo, you can easily upload a CSV or Excel file with recipient addresses and, with just a few clicks, prepare shipping labels for printing on a standard A4 printer or a label printer.
For example, you can import the file into shipping drafts, allowing you to create and print all shipments at once. Alternatively, you can import the file into your address book to save your partners, suppliers, or customers as regular recipients. From the address book, you can create shipments based on individual recipient addresses and then print all labels at once.
Shipmondo offers affordable shipping with a range of carriers, including Bring, DHL, UPS och PostNord. You can read more about our prices here or create an account and try it yourself.
Once the shipping labels are printed and the Christmas presents are packed, simply drop them off at your nearest post office or parcel shop.
Remember to keep an eye on the carriers’ cut-off dates leading up to Christmas to ensure your parcels arrive on time.
