Using Corrugated Cardboard to lighten and protect your mail

26/10/2012 13:41

We have seen a lot of individuals buy corrugate  d cardboard boxes in order to mail some things. As a matter of fact, there are a great deal of individuals who do this that it seems that this type of box is actually the unanimous choice by everybody. This leaves us wondering why they choose this kind of packing material. Just what is special with these corrugated boxes and packing materials?

This article is meant to bring to light some of the facts – good facts – about this kind of packing material. This article will attempt to explain why many are attracted – even magnetized – by the virtual usefulness of the packing materials.

First and foremost, when we are trying to mail something, we would require a package that would offer the maximum protection with the lightest weight. Basically, this box in question offers the kind of protection that you require. The corrugated boxes are actually boxes with multiple layers of cardboard. These layers are grooved so that they somehow provide a cushion which, in turn, provides added protection to the contents inside.

To be more specific, the core of the board is made up of linerboard paper that is shaped so that it becomes grooved, or it can also be made up of plastic or straw that is stacked in order to act as protection against minor shock. This design is so effective that, as a matter of fact, the corrugated boxes are not only used as packaging materials. In many third world countries, like the Philippines, the boxes are made as sleeping mats by many homeless individuals because the grooved core of the board is generally enough to keep out the cold cement.

Other than the protection that is offered, the boxes are also famous because of the fact that they are light. Indeed, this combination is the general reason why the boxes of this design are preferred by many companies and individuals. For example, if you are sending a sensitive package, you would want to do so using a very secure packing material. The first standard – protection – can be given by the box. Same is true with the second standard. The corrugated cardboard boxes are so lightweight that they do not really add to the weight of the package. I mean, you cannot say the same to other packing supplies using different materials. Indeed, this lightweight characteristic means that you can send more packages, and it will not cost you extra.

How much can your Bubble wrap endure?

25/10/2012 16:26

Bubble wrap packaging is the ideal material to use as protective packaging. It is made of bubbled plastic on a roll, perfect for wrapping ornaments, glass, crockery or other delicate packages and fragile parcels. The bubbles that provide the cushioning are generally available in different sizes depending on the size of the object being packed, as well as the level of cushioning protection that is needed.

People, especially children, play around with bubble wraps by popping the bubbles. This simple action proves that bubble wraps are not entirely immune to destruction. With the right amount of pressure, the protective bubbles burst leaving a flimsy sheet of transparent plastic paper. Therefore it is important to safely predict how much pressure will be subjected to the bubbles lest they are ruptured and expose the fragile cargo to destruction.

Bubble wrap comes in various forms. There is a type that is as small as 6 millimeters (1/4 inch) in diameter, to another that is as large as 26 millimeters (1 inch) or more, this is to provide added levels of shock absorption during transit. In addition to the degree of protection available from the size of the air bubbles in the plastic, the plastic material itself can offer some forms of protection for the object in question. For example, when shipping sensitive electronic parts and components, a type of bubble wrap is used that employs an anti-static plastic that dissipates static charge, thereby protecting the sensitive electronic chips from static which can damage them. The plastic could be extra thick to prevent abrasion from eating away and exposing the bubbles which will eventually erupt exposing the fragile goods to destruction.

Due to the different nature of cargo and the different ways and means in which they are shipped, destructive forces will vary in nature and intensity, hence it is important that the consignment is wrapped in the proper bubble wrap. If the voyage is especially turbulent or rocky, multiple layers might be needed to provide shock and vibration isolation. In most cases however, a single layer is sufficient for surface protection.

The time that the goods will be in transit, freight period, has a direct effect on the cargo. The longer the time the more stress is upon the protective packaging. For longer freights, tougher wraps should be utilized. The type of goods on transit will in great lengths dictate what kind of protective material will be used, objects with sharp protusions will obviously cancel the option of using bubble wrap.

Whether it's an engagement ring from Tiffany or a cute little necklace from Etsy, the packaging is important. Jewellery is something special, to be treasured and worn so the unwrapping experience needs to be just as wonderful.

Cute little flourishes like twine, decoration or a trinket can make all the difference. Especially if it's handmade or vintage - the hand wrapped touches add an extra sparkle to the whole experience.

Having several different elements to the packaging all brought together by a single running theme - for example the Tiffany blue with the white ribbon. This gives the impression of luxury and quality as well as elongating the unwrapping process making it even more special.
