How to Securely Ship Long Products – The Packaging Doctor
The Surgery Is Now Open
Help Packaging Doctor!
I never thought I would be writing in to you, but recently I started a business selling handmade lightsabers (replicas from the Star Wars films). It started when I made a friend one, and all of a sudden the demand grew. I've now quit my job and started my own business selling these - I need a low-cost way of packaging them so that they are protected in transit (I use a courier service) and can keep up with the increasing demand.
Thanks, Simon
Hi Simon,
Great to hear your business has done so well at such an early stage; I'm a bit of a Star Wars fan myself. We have a lot of queries from small businesses such as yours, and I'm not surprised as packaging is such a mine-field for those not familiar with it! I'm assuming these items are fairly long, so would suggest a postal tube as they will hold the products length most effectively, and reduce movement in transit. Our postal tubes range in length and diameter with the largest size being 1250mm X 152mm (LxD). For further protection you could also wrap the product in bubble wrap, the 'Jiffy Astro SupraBubble' is perfect for protecting delicate items and it is light-weight to reduce delivery costs. Bubble wrap works well in postal tubes as it 'pads out' the container, and is useful in protecting against vibration and possible climate damage.
