Prepare For Long-Term Storage With Wholesale Packing Supplies

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Whether you are moving or just need to free up some more space in your home, long-term storage offers many advantages. However, before placing items in storage for a long time, there are a few guidelines you need to know to protect your stuff from insects, the elements, and dust.

Here are four guidelines to packing items for long-term storage:

1. Get the right packing supplies
Contact your packaging supplier to order wholesale packing supplies to store your items. At the minimum you will need strong, sturdy boxes, some filling/padding material, and packing tape.

2. Pad boxes before packing
Especially before packing delicate, fragile items, it’s important to provide adequate cushioning for your stuff. Pad boxes from the inside with newspaper, plastic bags, or ideally unprinted packing paper. This layer of padding also helps protect against moisture.

3. Use shrink wrap
This is particularly important if you are opting for an outdoor or non-climate controlled storage unit. Shrink wrapping your items and boxes can help protect them from the layers of dust and grime that will inevitably build up over the months and years. This is an absolute must for rugs and padded furniture that have porous, dust-absorbing surfaces.

4. Use moving pads
To protect your stuff from unexpected falls, shocks, and vibrations both while in storage and during the moving process, use moving pads. This gives you one more layer of protection on top of the shrink wrap you are already using.

By now you should have a solid understanding of how to prepare your stuff for long-term storage. It’s not difficult to get items ready for storage, but a few precautions upfront will ensure that when you finally take items out of storage, they’ll still be in great condition.

How To Save Money By Optimizing Your Packaging Supplies Design

Monday, February 27th, 2012

Having packaging supplies protect your products, and make it convenient to carry many units at the same time. The primary factor is the package’s volume, the amount of space it can effectively enclose. However, packaging is priced based on how much material is used to make it. Luckily, with these two factors you can vary volume and material to achieve the most efficient packaging, effectively enclosing the greatest amount of volume, with the least amount of material.

The majority of packaging supplies come in a cube shape, especially those made from paper-based products, such as corrugated cardboard and liner board. In general, the more extreme the dimensions of the box (tall and skinny or short and squat) the less effective the packaging, as it requires more material for less volume.

There is a limit to the volume that a given amount of material is able to enclose, and a corresponding minimum limit to the amount of material needed to fully encapsulate a given volume. Your goal in designing packaging is to find the perfect intersection between these variables to achieve the best means of transporting and protecting your products at the lowest cost.

In terms of this relationship between surface area and volume, the most optimal shape for packaging is a sphere. A sphere encapsulates the greatest possible volume with the minimum expense of materials. A cylinder is also a better option than boxes, and with some creativity can make for really appealing packaging.

Once you’ve achieved the perfect dimensions for your packaging, dress it up with custom stamps and shipping labels. Contact PackagingSupplies.com today for more info!
