CPS: A Safe and Secure Place to Shop

Our website is a safe and secure place to shop. We partner with three different organizations to reassure our customers that we are a legitimate business, that we are a safe place to shop, and that we have a secure system for handling their personal information. Those partners are (1) The Better Business Bureau, (2) McAfee SECURE, and (3) thawte (pronounced "thought").

The Better Business Bureau Seal
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a private nonprofit organization that promotes an ethical marketplace and encouraging honest advertising and selling practices. Container & Packaging Supply has been a BBB "accredited business" since December of 1986 (that's 23 years). This means that the BBB has determined that CPS has committed to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. The BBB Seal resides on every page of our website.

Tell our customers: "We have been a highly rated Better Business Bureau accredited business for 23 years."

The McAfee SECURE Trustmark
Every day, McAfee runs a comprehensive scan on our website for more than 10,000 vulnerabilities. McAfee essentially makes sure that no one can hack into our website, steal information, compromise our data, or gather information on our customers. Customers who see the McAfee trustmark view our site as a safer and more secure place to shop. The McAfee SECURE Trustmark resides at the top of every page of our website.

Tell our customers: "Our website undergoes daily testing by McAfee SECURE to make sure your information is safe."


The thawte Trusted Site Seal
The thawte Trusted Site Seal tells visitors that they can trust us, that our website is validated and that they can transact safely and securely with you. A validated website is a website that has taken the necessary steps to protect customer's private and personal information. The thawte seal resides on only our shopping cart pages where personal, private, and credit card information is entered.

Tell our customers: "Our shopping cart is validated by thawte. This means that your personal information is secure."

Inventors, Don't Forget to Patent and Package

Inventors invent products, but it is the packaging that is going to sell them. The average consumer spends less than three seconds making up their minds whether or not to buy a product. Consequently, you need to influence that purchasing decision. The best way to do that is with the right packaging. The right package is your "silent salesperson" and it will create the buzz that will compel consumers to pick your product off the shelf or place an order from the Internet.

Packaging is your finest and most cost effective option to persuading consumers to pick up your invention and take a closer look. Be aware that packaging an invention or a product is complicated. One mistake and you could be back to square one -- not only will the consumer not buy your product it may not even see the retailer’s shelf.

We reuse boxes

In order to do our part to keep landfills as ecologically friendly as possible, we often order misprinted corrugated boxes from a local box manufacturer. These boxes would end up in landfills without ever being used, so we buy these boxes to ensure they are used at least once before being disposed of.

In a small way, this is how we help reduce waste. Use of these packages also help keep the cost of shipping and handling down, allowing us to pass these savings on to our customers.

This means that you may receive product from Container & Packaging Supply in a box that isn't printed with our logo, meanwhile knowing that you, too, are helping to reduce needless waste.
