In the packaging of fragile items, Bubble wrap plays a vital role in buffering and protection. The correct use can minimize the risk of damage to items during transportation and handling.
First, the preparation work before wrapping is very important. Cut the Bubble wrap of appropriate size according to the shape and size of the fragile items. Make sure that the Bubble wrap can completely cover the surface of the fragile items. For items with edges and corners, pay special attention to wrapping the Bubble wrap at the edges and corners with several layers, because these parts are most vulnerable to damage during collision. For example, when packaging glass products, first spread the Bubble wrap flat on the table, gently place the glass product in the middle of the Bubble wrap, and then wrap each side in turn, so that the bubbles are evenly distributed around the glass product to form a buffer layer.
Secondly, the number of layers and tightness of the wrapping cannot be ignored. Generally speaking, for more fragile and fragile items, such as porcelain and crystal products, it is recommended to wrap more than three layers of Bubble wrap. Wrap as tightly as possible to avoid large gaps between bubble wraps, as these gaps may cause items to shake when subjected to external forces, increasing the risk of collision. You can gently press the bubbles with your hands while wrapping to make the bubble wrap fit the items better. At the same time, for some irregularly shaped fragile items, such as sculptures, you can use segmented wrapping, first wrap the protruding parts, and then wrap the whole to ensure that all parts are fully protected.
In addition, after packaging, the fragile items wrapped in bubble wrap should be properly fixed. When placing it in a suitable packaging box, fill the remaining space with materials such as foam boards and filling paper to prevent the items from moving in the box. If multiple fragile items are packaged together, they should also be separated by bubble wrap or other cushioning materials to avoid collisions. For example, when packaging a set of tableware, each plate and bowl should be separated by bubble wrap, and then put together in the packaging box, and finally the packaging box should be sealed firmly with tape to ensure that the packaging will not fall apart during transportation.
Finally, for some particularly valuable or fragile items that are extremely easy to damage, you can also put another layer of plastic bag or wrap the bubble wrap on the outside to further enhance the moisture-proof and protective effect. And put a clear "fragile" label on the package to remind the handling and transportation personnel to handle it with caution. Through the above best use of bubble wrap in fragile packaging, it can effectively improve the safety of fragile items during transportation and storage, and reduce losses caused by improper packaging.
