It’s not the first time we’ve seen excessive packaging in action. After all, we’re a packaging company, and helping businesses find smart solutions is what we do best. Our annual “Bad Packaging” competition highlights some of the worst examples—whether it's over-packaging, under-packaging, or just plain poor execution.

Reducing the amount of packaging used while still ensuring high-quality protection is where Kite can really make a difference. Recently, we came across a story that really caught our attention: an Amazon customer was shocked to receive a box filled with 45 feet of paper packaging for a £9 wall calendar. It was an eye-opening reminder of how unnecessary packaging can be—and how frustrating it can be for customers.

At Kite, seeing such wasteful practices makes us want to remind everyone about simple, effective, and often cost-saving alternatives that don’t leave customers feeling annoyed or disappointed.

For items like calendars, a straightforward solution could be using a weatherproof, bubble-lined mailer. These are fully recyclable, lightweight, and help keep postage costs low while keeping your products safe.

Another option is a grey polythene mailing bag—extremely cost-effective for many businesses. Adding a “DO NOT BEND” sticker ensures your calendars and similar items stay flat and undamaged during transit.

You could also go for book wrap mailers, which are affordable, presentable, and perfect for protecting a wide range of goods. They streamline your packing process and offer a professional look straight out of the box.

If you're looking for something more advanced, our wrap and hold system is a great choice. It eliminates the need for extra void fill and in-the-box solutions, offering a secure and universal packing method.

Of course, it’s important to choose the right size for your product. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team of experts—they’re always happy to help.
