How to Choose Plastic Products for Home and Outdoor
When creating plastic products, consider the following:
- Budget: When sourcing custom plastic products for home and outdoor use, you’ll want to think about how your budget will impact your product’s design. Higher budgets often support thicker plastics with greater durability. For example, seedling containers can be thin and easy to crush, or you can invest in a more rigid plastic that consumers can reuse.
- Nature of the Product: Consider how your packaging or plastic product design will affect the overall nature of the product. For instance, fertilizer spreaders rely on various small parts to function. While you need the hopper to be rigid for holding the fertilizer, parts like seals may benefit from a more flexible plastic.
- Size: Products like spray bottles and seedling packaging have size requirements that will vary based on your consumers’ needs. A spray bottle designed to be portable, for example, will need to be smaller than a product stored at home.
