Use Stiffening Materials for Packaging
Poor packaging can result in damaged goods, especially if the contents are breakable. There are quite a few packaging supplies on the market, but some packages require stiffening materials to properly secure the contents through the mail. It only takes a few extra minutes to properly wrap a package, and the few extra dollars you might spend are worth protecting your valuables. Stiffening materials for packaging can be purchased at most shipping and packaging stores.
Instructions
1. Wrap your object in several layers of plastic bubble packaging material secured with tape.
2. Place the wrapped item into a snug box that tightly surrounds the item.
3. Place the smaller box into a larger box, with at least 8 inches of space on each side. Position polypropylene plastic bags filled with air under, over and around the smaller box.
4. Insert polyethylene-coated boards inside the larger box between the sides of the box and the air-filled bags so the smaller box is completely snug.
5. Fill in all the extra space in the larger box with styrofoam peanuts. Tape the larger box closed.
