COD Packaging in Guatemala

Guatemala's e-commerce is growing 25%+ YoY but card and bank penetration remain thin. COD is the default — and merchants without confirmation infrastructure see RTO above 30%. Professional packaging isn't just about protection — it's about conversion. In COD markets, your packaging is the first physical touchpoint with your customer. It builds trust, reduces refusals, and turns deliveries into completed sales.
