Monthly Feature -
How To Best Use Packing Products
|
|
Everyone is familiar with Styrofoam peanuts. Paired with bubble wrap, it is one of the most effective packing materials you can use to protect your shipment from damage in transit. Two to three inches of peanuts surrounding your item will buffer it from the bumps and tumbles your package takes along the way. Each package goes from truck to conveyor belt, back onto a truck, and another conveyor belt, etc., until it reaches its destination. If you are packing a fragile item, like a crystal bowl or a figurine, you might consider double-boxing it (see photo) and following our advice below.
How to Pack
|
|
- First wrap your fragile item in 4 layers of bubble sheets.
- Pour 3 inches of peanuts in the bottom of your box.
- Place your item on top of peanuts and then fill more around all edges.
- Make sure that your peanuts fill the box up to the hinge point of the flaps. This eliminates open space and ensures the peanuts will do their job of preventing shifting.
You’re now ready to close up your box and send it on its way!

Trivia Answer:
FedEx
created tracking numbers originally as an internal means of quality control, but since offering their use to customers in the late 70’s, they have become a standard in shipping services.
