Custom Packaging Solutions for Small Fragile Items

October 28, 2010 by admin

Shipping large, cumbersome items can be challenging. Most people appreciate that. They call their Boston packaging service almost apologetically, explaining that they know it’s going to be difficult, but they really need to ship their antique furniture or large painting. They’re happily surprised when we tell them it’s no problem, no matter how large their shipment is. We can get their items shipped safely and reliably. Shipping small, fragile items can actually be trickier – unless you have the expertise and equipment to get the job done right!

Shipping Small Packages From Boston

Why is it more difficult to ship small, fragile packages than large, bulky ones?  It turns out that size does matter — but not the way you might think. Large, bulky shipments are heavy and difficult to move.  When shippers handle these packages, they’re forced to move carefully and deliberately.  On the other hand, small, lightweight packages are easy to handle and toss around.  Shippers toss them into bins, onto conveyor belts, into and off of trucks, and finally, onto your doorstep. We say this not to praise or fault any shipping company. This is simply an observation based upon years of experience in the shipping industry: the smaller the package, the more likely it is to get treated roughly during transit.

Imagine what that does to the treatment of your package.  Could your smart phone stand up to that abuse? What about your jewelry, fine art, collectibles, or ceramics?   Perhaps the more important question is, “Do you want to take any chances when you’re shipping your small, fragile items?”

Customized Packaging Solutions For Small, Fragile Items

Safeguard your valuables and treasures by using customized packaging solutions for your small, fragile items.  Custom sized foam core boxes, which include strategic padding and supportive foam collars to provide extra cushioning at vulnerable points, have proven to be the ideal way to package many types of small, fragile items.  Glassware, figurines, electronics, artwork and more can be protected from jolts, shocks, and drops while in transit, minimizing the chances of breakage or damage.

Every small, fragile item has an ideal packaging solution.  Your packaging and shipping professional should be able to advise you on the best materials and methods to protect your items in transit.

"Boston Pack and Ship shipped my mother’s cedar “hope” chest to my sister in Flagstaff, Arizona. The chest is 70 years old and a priceless family heirloom. As for Boston Pack and Ship’s handling of the chest, in the words of my sister, the job turned out ‘magnificently’. The delivery was ahead of projected schedule and the chest was packed with great care with exceptional “product safety” initiatives of Styrofoam, plastic, false bottoms cartons within the crate and above the crate; the legs of the chest were taped with great care…….truly product protection at its best!! Both my sister and I would refer Boston Pack and Ship without hesitation as the price, product safety, delivery and service are exceptional."
