The World’s Best Holiday Packaging and Shipping Supplies Guide

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Shipping large presents this Christmas? Make sure to use inflatable packaging.

Are you planning on shipping a few presents this year for the holidays? Make sure you have the right packaging and shipping supplies for your items to ensure they make it to their destination safe and sound.

For small items use padded mailers: Sending a piece of jewelry or another small item this Christmas? Padded mailers are the perfect size for small gifts. They’re durable and the padding will protect your items so they arrive unbroken just in time for Christmas.

For larger items use inflatable packaging: If you’re shipping a larger item that requires a big corrugated shipping box, surround the item with inflatable packaging. This will keep it from moving around in the box during the shipping process thus reducing the possibility of being damaged. Make sure your item is in the middle of the box surrounded by the inflatable packaging for maximum support.

For posters or other paper items, use mailing tubes: There’s nothing better to mail a poster in than a mailing tube. This allows you to mail the poster or other piece of artwork without folding it. Also mailing tubes will keep your item safe so it won’t tear or show up on Christmas with unwanted creases.

For CDs and DVDs, use CD jewel cases: Prevent your CD or DVD from being scratched with CD jewel cases. Mail up to 6 CDs or DVDs with the multiple jewel case box. If you’re only mailing one CD, you can put it in a sleeve and mail it in a padded mailer.

Little Known Ways For Using Mailing Tubes

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Mailing tubes can be used for shipping many things that would usually be folded, bent or ruined during the mailing process. Posters, wrapping paper, graphs, blueprints and important documents should be shipped using mailing tubes to assure safe arrival without damage. There are a variety of mailing tubes at PackagingSupplies.com to assure that you find the right shape and size to mail your important paper items.

Use crimped end mailing tubes for easy opening and closing (just pinch the ends). No need to tape or mess with end caps. They are durable and resist folding or bending and can be reused.

Brown and white mailing tubes are durable 3-ply spiral wound, resistant to bending and have friction fit end caps to ensure your important paper documents arrive safe.

Triangular mailing tubes have a triangular design that makes it easy to insert and remove documents. Also they ship flat, which means they take up less space and once assembled can rest on flat surfaces without rolling off. The triangular shape gives extra side protection to make the mailing tube more durable.

Square mailing tubes have some of the same advantages of the triangular ones. They ship flat, take up less space and once assembled can rest on flat surfaces without rolling. The square shape makes paper insertion and removal easier than a round shaped mailing tube.

Mailing tubes are essential to anyone who is shipping posters, blueprints, or any large paper documents on a regular basis. Whether you are shipping them to customers, work associates or family members, they ensure the papers’ arrival at its destination wrinkle, rip and fold-free. They are also handy for safely transporting posters, large pictures or documents while moving to a new home, office, apartment, or dorm room.

Mailing Tubes That Soar

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

We’re proud of practical uses of the materials we sell on Pacakgingsupplies.com. But it’s always great to see people giving the kinds of supplies we inventory a second life and a whole new spin. That’s just what happened at Collingswood Middle School in New Jersey when a science teacher, Hans Berg, had his students built rockets out of already-used mailing tubes.

The students took some used mailing tubes, topped them with paper cone drinking cups, added some fins made from balsa wood, and then used index cards to attach the rockets to their launchers.

Down at the schools football field, Mr. Berg and his students braved strong winds and the few droplets of rain and sent more than a dozen rockets airborne. The highest-soaring rocket reached an altitude of 400 feet before a handmade parachute, made from a used plastic bag, released and aided the rocket’s return back to Earth.

Fun and educational. Not bad for simple mailing tubes.
