When in transit, packages are prone to being dropped, handled roughly and moved around a lot, meaning their contents can easily be damaged. Fortunately, there are various types of protective packaging products that businesses can use to stop damage from occurring. In this blog post, TigerPak Packaging details four of the best protective packaging materials that can keep your products protected during transit.
1. Bubble Wrap
Bubble wrap is a very effective packaging material that can protect fragile products during shipping, such as electronics, glassware, ceramics, artwork, antiques and other fragile products. This type of wrap has small, air-filled bubbles that provide cushioning, helping to absorb any shocks.
2. Cardboard Sheets
Corrugated cardboard sheets are a great choice for packaging items that are irregularly shaped or have abnormal dimensions, such as electronic goods, appliances, furniture and other products. The cardboard’s corrugated design is strong and capable of withstanding the bumps that can occur during transit. Cardboard sheets are also environmentally friendly and can be recycled after use.
3. Void Fill
Void fill is used to fill empty spaces inside packaging boxes to stop products from moving around. This protective packaging type can be used to completely surround and cushion loose products that need additional protection when being shipped.
4. Packing Peanuts
Similar to void fill, packing peanuts are a reusable and loose type of packaging material made from Styrofoam that acts as a filler for fragile items. The peanuts fill up empty space inside a box and cushion the contents, preventing them from moving around during transit.
