Also, important: What Is The Right Way To Pack Your Product? 


Foam Packaging 


For irregular shaped packaged, for fragile products, custom foam inserts are best for shipping these packages. Uniquely structured to cradle and support your products specially designed foam inserts are a good choice. Know for a fact that your items are safe from chipping, damage, scratching, and even from falls and being shaken.

Packaging Paper 


Packaging paper is highly protective and has many benefits for shipping. Fragile items, when packaging paper is used is protected from scratches. There are also economic advantages, namely affordability. Sustainability is also another factor for using packaging paper. 




Although useful, packaging paper is not as protective for fragile contents. It is wise to combine foam or bubble wrap when using packaging paper. 


Bubble Wrap 


Another method for protecting shipped items is using bubbles of sealed air (bubble wrap). Acting as a durable cushion, bubble wrap can cushion a huge amount of force, this makes it one of the most common tools used in shipping. 


Similar to packing paper, the problem is that bubble wrap benefits from being used with other packaging materials. To make sure fragile items are properly protected, it is recommended that you match it another packaging material. To add, bubble wrap is not environmentally responsible, it is costly, and ultimately is not the best choice for your business.

They stop your contents from moving around and getting damaged. They even come in varieties that are biodegradable. Reusing packing peanuts can be done in a variety of ways.
