How to Ship Fragile Items Safely with Corrugated Packaging
Have you ever packed a fragile order with care, only to hold your breath until it’s delivered? Shipping delicate items like glassware, ceramics, or electronics leaves no room for error. Even small packaging mistakes can turn into costly returns, negative reviews, and damaged customer trust.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Shipping Tape
Are your boxes arriving with loose tape, split seams, or seals that fail before your customer even opens the package? A weak seal turns into damaged goods, returns, re-ships, and time spent fixing problems that should not happen in the first place. It also erodes trust every time a package shows up looking sloppy.
Your tape choice is not one-size-fits-all. Box weight, surface, storage conditions, and the speed of your packing station all affect how well a seal holds.
