Boxing Day Shipping Rush: Packaging Essentials to Handle High-Volume Orders

Boxing Day—Thursday, December 26, 2025—is one of the biggest shopping and shipping days of the year. As customers flood in for post-holiday deals, businesses are working behind the scenes to get those orders out fast. The right Boxing Day #Shipping supplies make all the difference in protecting your products and your reputation.

At merchants.ca, we stock what you need to handle this seasonal surge with less stress and more success.

Packaging Essentials That Keep Up With Demand

Reliable #Packaging essentials are key to maintaining speed, safety, and sustainability during a high-volume season. Now’s the time to take stock and upgrade.

Here’s what to keep close:

❶ Kraft Boxes in Multiple Sizes

  • Lightweight but sturdy enough for protection
  • Easy to assemble for fast packing
  • Ideal for retail, food, and gift items

❷ Paper Tape & Eco-Friendly Void Fill

  • Tamper-evident and biodegradable
  • Works great with kraft boxes for a zero-plastic solution
  • Prevents movement during transit without adding bulk

❸ Shipping Labels & Dispensers

  • Save time with thermal labels or pre-cut options
  • Label dispensers boost speed and accuracy
  • Use clearly marked "Fragile" or "Perishable" labels for delicate items

High-Volume Order Fulfillment Starts With Smart Prep

When you’re dealing with hundreds of parcels a day, small improvements to your workflow can have a big impact.

These high-volume order fulfillment tips can keep things moving:

  • Pre-pack popular items during off-hours
  • Keep your packing stations stocked and organized
  • Use carts to transport batches of boxed orders
  • Implement a label-and-seal flow to reduce errors
  • Train staff on handling eco-friendly packaging properly

Customers may not see your shipping area—but they’ll notice if a box arrives late, crushed, or missing items.

Questions Worth Asking

Before the orders flood in, consider:

  • Do we have enough boxes, tape, and filler for a post-holiday spike?
  • Are we using the most efficient (and #EcoFriendly) packaging available?
  • Can we improve our packing process for speed and accuracy?
  • Is our space set up for order fulfillment, or do we need a quick re-org?
