With more people buying pretty much anything online, making sure that the goods arrive intact and untrammelled is business critical.

No matter how well packed any fragile items are, if they are not handled delicately \u2013 if they are dropped or thrown, or stacked to high, placed under other items or even placed the wrong way up \u2013\u00a0they can get damaged.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3737\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fragile-items-boxes.jpg\" alt=\"Fragile items boxes\" width=\"600\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fragile-items-boxes.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fragile-items-boxes-430x206.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are a wide range of labels that do just this. For example, you can just mark items as \u2018fragile\u2019, or \u2018handle with care\u2019, but many delicate objects also need to be kept the right way up to also prevent damage. Visual messages \u2013\u00a0featuring archetypal glasses and arrows that indicate \u2018this way up\u2019 \u2013 make sure that wherever a package goes, it is clear that it is fragile and needs to be upright. This is particularly important for items being exported cross-border, where language may be an issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-labels\/packaging-shipping-labels\/specialist-tilt-watch-packaging-labels_PDT00730.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Tilt sensitive labels can let you know how your package has been treated\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/specialist-tiltwatch-packaging-labels_PDT00730.jpg?image=M_TILT_O_S_1210_F$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"Tilt sensitive labels can let you know how your package has been treated\" width=\"279\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a>Another way to make sure that the fragile package has been handled correctly is to use specialist Tilt Watch labels. These turn red if the package has been tiled by 90 degrees or more. They aren\u2019t activated by normal handling, but go off when the box is mistreated and are an ideal way to make any package tamper proof. This is particularly useful with exporting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What types of protective packaging provide the best protection?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, what types of protective packaging provide the best protection for your carefully labelled package? There is a wide range of protective packaging materials available, each suited to different modes of packaging for fragile items based on their size, shape and texture \u2013\u00a0as well as where they are being sent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Packing foam sheets<\/strong> \u2013 to protect against scratches and abrasion, ready-cut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/foam-packaging\/foam-wrap-sheets_PDT01273.html\">packing foam sheets<\/a> made from 1mm thick, 35% recycled closed cell polythene foam are flexible and lightweight and ideal for slipping over and around items or between stacked items that have delicate outsides. Ideal for items that are reasonably robust but which have a delicate or decorative casing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cushioning packaging<\/strong> \u2013 to offer more holistic impact protection, <a href=\"\/packaging-machines\/air-cushion-systems_C2424.html\">cushioning packaging<\/a> is air-filed polythene film \u2013 like bubble wrap, but for industrial packaging \u2013 which offers long lasting cushioning that stays inflated and effective throughout the entire shipping cycle. It is perfectly designed for cushioning, blocking and bracing goods withing a fragile parcel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protective bubble wrap<\/strong> \u2013 ideal for wrapping item as well as packing out boxes around items, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/bubble-wrap-packaging_C1610.html\">protective bubble wrap<\/a> is lightweight, shock absorbent and abrasion resistant and is, in many ways, the ideal material for all fragile packaging needs. Available in sheets, rolls and as bags, bubble wrap is made from two strong layers of low-density polythene and retains its effectiveness through repeated uses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fragile packing tape<\/strong> \u2013 this provides the benefits of both a means so sealing up your carefully protected box with strong and sticky tape, but also marking it up as fragile. Combining both \u2018fragile\u2019 labelling and tap, this solution is the final piece of the fragile packaging tool kit. Made from polypropylene, these eye-catching tapes help reduce damage and returns by alerting couriers, shippers and warehouse staff to fragile parcels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to pack fragile items<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How to pack fragile items and then how to post fragile items also presents challenges. There are many excellent packing materials \u2013 boxes, protective bubble wrap, foam and more \u2013 but using them in the right combinations is key to protecting goods when shipping fragile items.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to ship fragile items is to make sure that they are very well packaged and protected \u2013 often by using a variety of packing solutions in one go.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/void-loose-fill-packaging-equipment\/regular-packs-instapak-foam-cushion-packaging_OFF_UK_0089.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Packing fragile items for shipping requires a combination of solutions\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/regular-packs-of-instapak-quick-foam-cushion-packaging_OFF_UK_0089.jpg?image=M_IQHEURT1_A6_FR$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"Packing fragile items for shipping requires a combination of solutions\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>As we have seen, the best packing material for fragile items depends on what you are packing, as well as where you are shipping to. Often, it requires using a combination of packing materials to give the best protection from both knocks and bumps, as well as the vibrations and jolts of transportation.<\/p>\n<p>So, how to pack fragile items for shipping is something of an art form. The starting point is using a sturdy shipping box, made from at least double layer corrugated card and big enough for the item or items to fit in snuggly, but with sufficient leeway to pack out the box with impact resistant packing materials.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a combination of a good box and Instapak Quick foam cushion packaging provides excellent protection against vibration, bumps and knocks and even stacking when items are shipped. A \u2018fragile\u2019 and \u2018this way up\u2019 label and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-adhesives\/warning-printed-tape_C1834.html\">fragile tape<\/a> seal the deal, informing handlers that the items need to be treated with the upmost care.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/void-loose-fill-packaging-equipment\/new-air-machine_PDT228581.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Sealed Air NewAir Flex Packaging systems can help automate packing for fragile items that are to be shipped\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/sealed-air-newair-flex-packaging-system_PDT228581.jpg?image=M_NEWAIRFLEX_NAX40M_S_FR$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"Sealed Air NewAir Flex Packaging systems can help automate packing for fragile items that are to be shipped\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another method of packing fragile items for shipping involves using Sealed Air packing machines to automate the packing of fragile items <em>en masse<\/em>, either on a production line or in a warehouse prior to shipping.
