Practical Tips for Secure Shipping Packaging 2025
Ways to protect your products from shipping damage. Fragile product packaging, inner cushioning materials, and testing methods.
Secure Shipping Packaging Strategies
Shipping packaging is the most critical factor in ensuring your products reach the customer undamaged. It is possible to reduce the damage rate to below 5%.
Fragile Product Packaging
For fragile items such as glass, ceramics, and electronics, double-layer protection is necessary. Wrap first with bubble wrap, then place it in a sturdy cardboard box.
Use of Bubble Wrap
Bubble wrap provides the most effective protection against impacts. Wrapping the product with a minimum of 2 layers of bubble wrap achieves 95% protection in drop tests.
Foam Protection
Custom-cut foam is ideal for electronics and delicate devices. Foam cut to the shape of the product provides excellent protection and a premium appearance.
Void Fill
To prevent the product from moving inside the box, use air cushions or paper fillers. There should be a maximum of 2 cm of space between the product and the box.
Box Durability
C-flute corrugated cardboard is the minimum standard for heavy and fragile items. Check the stacking strength with a BCT (Box Compression Test).
Shipping Tape Selection
The use of quality packing tape is critical. A 50-micron thick PP tape is 60% more durable than the standard 35-micron tape.
Labeling and Warnings
Fragile, This Side Up labels guide the shipping personnel. Attention-grabbing red labels reduce the risk of damage by 30%.
