When it comes to shipping goods, one of the worst messages you can receive is an angry email from a client saying that their items were destroyed or cracked during the shipment process. No matter if you’re the owner of a major corporation or a small-time seller working through eBay or Etsy, products damaged during shipping can seriously cut into both your customers’ satisfaction and your bottom line. Protecting your items is crucial, but keeping large amounts of bubble wrap in your home or office can occupy a large amount of usable space. The following are three easy ways to ensure that your items will be safe during shipping without yards and yards of bubble wrap:
- Keep plenty of interior box packaging to separate items. One of the best ways to save space and keep items from cracking one another during rough shipments. Partitions can be folded to lay flat, saving space in your office or packing area when not in use.
- Know how to pack. You can limit the amount of damage your items take during shipping by knowing the correct order to pack your items in. Place flat items in first, and stack items according to their weight and stability. Weight your package before shipping. If any single box exceeds 70 pounds, split up your order into multiple boxes.
- Check for interference. Before you tape your package closed, give it a gentle shake left and right. If you can hear multiple items touching each other or clinking, add more packaging materials or another partition to prevent items from cracking against one another. Remember to use reinforced tape when sealing your boxes.
