Packaging — which options exist
How Packaging runs at merch.am: steps, timelines and AMD prices when the choice is driven by the right-size box.
What this page is
Packaging follows the shipping direction: grouped packs for stock, individual packs for small items and rigid boxes for international routes. This page answers the practical questions: which steps exist, how long each takes and which documents accompany the process.
Delivery in Armenia is three worlds: Yerevan, the regions and beyond the border, each with its own rules. In the case of Packaging that means one point of contact, one AMD invoice and deadlines fixed in writing.
How the work runs
Remote workers’ packs travel on international networks, and the packaging is tested for drop and pressure. Inside goes a note in the brand’s style, while the outer box carries only shipping data, under confidentiality.
The core steps of the Packaging track:
- Packaging: customs paperwork
- Packaging: the stock breathing rhythm
- Packaging: collecting the address list
What we watch for
The risk we watch during Packaging is this: The risk is an oversized box: empty space inflates volumetric weight and the delivery price. That is why every step carries a written confirmation and its own owner.
The engine is the right-size box: if the offer does not read along that axis, the Packaging programme loses its point. We build along exactly that axis, measured by clear logistics and customisation options.
