Different Ways To Secure Fragile Items For Shipping

December 23, 2019

For some businesses who are expanding domestically and internationally, one of their main concerns would be shipping out their products safely. To avoid business loss, the quality of the item should be maintained at all cost. However, there are inevitable things that can happen from a cargo ship’s journey from point A to point B. This is why aside from having a marine insurance, securing a package properly is a must, especially if it’s fragile. 

Here’s how you can ship out your fragile items with no worries:

Pick the right box size

Buying a box bigger than the item is a common mistake. While some think this is the better option, it’s actually the exact opposite. When buying a box, it is recommended to have an extra two inch on all sides of the item.

Add in an extra box

Because why not? It’s advisable to pack particularly delicate items like glassware and porcelain in a box within a box. Think of it as an added protection.

Opt for reliable materials

While it’s understandable to try to cut costs as much as possible, consider your packing supplies as a guarantee for your products. Using cheap and low quality materials can only lead to additional expenses. Do this to avoid customer refunds and exchanges due to damage.

Pack with layers of bubble wrap

Besides being a way to pass the time, bubble wraps are actually helpful for brittle items. Finish up with packing tape and it’s good to go. Just make sure to go easy on the tape!

Secure the inside of the box

Before you seal the box, make sure that your item won’t be moving around by filling it in with extra padding. If you have old newspapers, extra fabric, or foams, you may use it instead of buying air pillows, packing peanuts, and the like. 

Label as fragile

Let the shipping company know you’re sending out a fragile item. While it’s not actually a guarantee, having a fragile label on your box can help the couriers distinguish packages that need extra care. 

Pick a trusted shipping company

It helps to research about the credibility of the company you’re choosing to trust your items with. This way, you’d be able to avoid any inconvenience it may bring to your business.

There’s nothing wrong with being sure. While doing business is a risk in itself, make sure to be knowledgeable of the ways you can secure your financials and minimize any uncertainties.
