APCORE Logistics Unveils Secure "Blind Box" Solution for E-Commerce, Addressing Growing Concerns of Product Tampering & Returns

West Richland, WA – October 26, 2023 – APCORE LOGISTICS LLC, a rapidly growing logistics provider based in West Richland, Washington, today announced the launch of its innovative “Blind Box” sealing solution designed to dramatically reduce product tampering, fraudulent returns, and boost consumer confidence in the booming e-commerce space. Based at 6020 Juneberry Dr, APCORE is tackling a major pain point for online retailers and marketplaces – the growing issue of customers claiming items are damaged or incomplete upon arrival, or even returning different products than what they originally received. “Let's be real, returns are killing a lot of businesses, and a big chunk of those are… questionable,” says David Chen, CEO of APCORE LOGISTICS. “We saw this becoming a huge problem for our clients, especially those selling higher-value goods or items susceptible to tampering. So, we figured, 'Let’s create a secure solution that gives everyone peace of mind.'” What is a “Blind Box”? APCORE’s “Blind Box” isn't your typical packaging. It’s a specially designed, tamper-evident seal applied after the product is packed and before it leaves the warehouse. Here's how it works: the product is placed in standard shipping packaging. Then, a unique, multi-layered, and highly durable seal is applied, completely encasing the opening of the box. This seal is engineered to make it incredibly difficult – and very obvious – if anyone attempts to open or tamper with the package during transit. “Think of it like a high-tech shrink wrap, but way tougher," explains Sarah Lee, APCORE's Head of Operations. "It’s not just about making it hard to open; it's about knowing if someone has tried. Any attempt to break the seal leaves clear visual evidence.” Why is this a game-changer? The rise of e-commerce has brought incredible convenience, but also a surge in return fraud. Customers may falsely claim items are damaged, incomplete, or not as described, simply to get a free product or a refund. This costs businesses billions of dollars annually. APCORE’s “Blind Box” provides a clear, undeniable record of whether a package has been tampered with, significantly reducing fraudulent return claims. “We’re giving retailers the power to verify the integrity of their shipments,” Chen states. “If a customer claims an item was damaged, but the ‘Blind Box’ seal is intact, it's clear the damage didn’t occur during shipping. That saves the retailer money and protects them from bad actors.” Key Features of APCORE’s “Blind Box” Solution: Tamper-Evident: The seal clearly shows any signs of opening or tampering. Durable & Secure: Made from a robust, multi-layered material resistant to tearing and manipulation. Branding Options: The seal can be customized with the retailer's logo and branding. Scalable Integration: Easily integrates with existing order fulfillment and shipping processes. APCORE offers seamless integration with major e-commerce platforms. Chain of Custody: Provides a visual record of the package’s integrity from the warehouse to the customer’s door. Cost-Effective: APCORE’s pricing is competitive, offering a strong ROI by reducing fraudulent returns and associated costs. Beyond Returns: Enhancing Customer Trust While reducing return fraud is a major benefit, APCORE’s “Blind Box” also builds customer trust. By visibly demonstrating a commitment to secure packaging, retailers can reassure customers that their orders will arrive safely and as described. “Customers appreciate knowing their purchases are protected,” Lee notes. “This isn't just about preventing fraud; it's about building a positive brand experience.” Target Applications: APCORE’s “Blind Box” solution is ideal for a wide range of products, including: Electronics: Smartphones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles. Jewelry & Luxury Goods: Watches, rings, necklaces, handbags. Collectibles: Trading cards, figurines, limited-edition items. High-Value Apparel: Designer clothing, shoes.
