1 - Bubble wrap: indispensable for the inner packaging of parcels
AIR BUBBLE PROTECTION FILM
Light, space-saving and incredibly efficient: the bubble wrap is the solution for numerous risks during transport and storage. But also budget-friendly, because thanks to the format of the film, you can individualize the packaging by removing the appropriate amount from the roll. Just as convenient to use as in storage. Its added value? The air cushions form a real barrier against dust!
For the division, separation and protection of your products, choose the bubble diameter that is most suitable:
- 10 mm air cushions: this size guarantees the protection of your common, non-breakable and non-heavy products.
- 18 mm air cushions: your heavier and fragile objects enjoy optimal protection. Avoid this type with very fragile objects (glass, ceramics) and extremely sensitive electronic devices.
- 32 mm air cushions: this XXL format is best suited for very heavy or very fragile items. Packaged and delicate foodstuffs are also protected against moisture, dust and shocks.
Save time packaging your items by protecting them with pre-cut bubble wrap. This dispensing box is easy to store and perfectly meets your needs thanks to the tear-off foil.
The air cushions have a diameter of 10 mm. They form a barrier and protect your products against dust, shock and moisture.
Attention, this format is not suitable for fragile and heavy objects. You can fold the foil in half to make it stronger, but it is better to opt for air cushions with a larger diameter (18 or 32 mm).
This dispensing box is available in 2 versions: 5 or 50 meters. Do you have to send a lot of parcels? Think ahead, and choose 50 meters.
With the 50 meter pre-cut bubble wrap, each sheet measures 30 x 30 cm separately. Perfect for wrapping small and medium-sized items (parts, plastic or glass bottles, decorations, unbreakable electronics, DVD, CD, etc.).
With these of 5 meters the sheets measure 50 x 30 cm. So you can use them to protect longer and wider objects.
The bags with air cushions are ideal for the safe transport of small and medium-sized items. The self-adhesive fold turns the wrapping paper into a bag and ensures that the object cannot shift in the cardboard. The air cushions are 10 mm in diameter and the 3-layer film is designed to protect against pinholes, tears, moisture and dust.
The size of the bags varies from 10 x 13.5 cm to 23 x 28 cm. You can send your watches, telephones, CD, DVD or books in complete confidence.
Small plus? The inside of the bag is smooth which ensures that certain objects do not get the imprint of the air cushions.
On the other hand, they are too small for heavier or more fragile objects.
Fine and sturdy, the polyethylene foam adapts to the shape of your delicate objects that can easily be scratched during storage and shipping (computer, telephone or tablet screen, the glass of your watch, etc.).
On a technical level, the protective foam has the advantage that it is chemically neutral, and also not toxic or abrasive. It is therefore particularly suitable for the protection of consumables or care products.
The foil is super fine, less than 3 mm thick, so that it hardly takes up any space. And although it seems very delicate, it protects perfectly against water and humidity. Moreover, this sustainable product can also be reused and recycled. Choose a roll with a diameter that best matches the products to be packed.
These particles, also called “chips” are the most ethical and environmentally friendly solution for backfilling. Because of the S-shape, they are sometimes confused with particles in polystyrene. But they are indeed 100% biodegradable! They are made from corn starch, also known as Pelaspan® bio. This makes them fully compostable and they can even be dissolved in water.
When you send your products, you leave no trace behind.
And some good news: the Pelaspan® bio protects your objects against shocks.
At the same time, your customers will also see how committed you are and this solution is indispensable to ensure the safe shipment of environmentally oriented products (organic hygiene and beauty products, local and organic food products, items made from recycled materials, etc.).
Kraft paper is a fixed value in terms of strength, quality and durability. Natural and recyclable on the one hand and resistant to moisture, tears and cracks on the other. Once packed, your products travel in complete safety.
Thanks to its decent thickness (70 g/m2) you can safely ship your CD, DVD and even clothing.
The size of these rolls makes them easy to store: you get a lot of value for little money.
Unwound, some reach a length of 450 metres, more than enough to pack and protect many products. And if you crumple the kraft paper, it is also very nice to fill up voids in a box. Please note, no matter how strong the paper is, it cannot be used for fragile and heavy objects.
The advantage of the separate sheets of kraft paper is that they are ready to use.
Recyclable, natural and very sturdy: they always ensure a 100% safe shipment with very little impact on the environment.
The double use of this kraft paper is a real asset: ideal for packaging and filling!
They can also serve to fill voids in your cartons and to secure your parcels.
How to pack fragile products?
Do you need to send something fragile by post? In that case, it is especially important to be careful with the packaging method so that it arrives at the location in one piece. To do this, 2 important steps must be respected: proper packaging of the fragile item and secure it in the box. A word of explanation!
4 - Protection in corrugated cardboard: 100% resistant
CORRUGATED CARDBOARD SHEETS
Corrugated cardboard is sturdier than classic cardboard and kraft paper. It is composed of several sheets of corrugated paper. The final thickness (360 g/m²) is perfect for heavy items such as household appliances, furniture, and imposing furnishings.
It is easy to handle, easy to cut and it can be folded in 2 directions. The ridges (3 mm thickness) are perfect for storing food raw materials.
Each roll measures 50 meters.
5 - Air cushions to support and protect in lightness
BOXES WITH AIR CUSHIONS
What could be better than air to properly protect all your products?! Air cushions are indispensable for securing your products and they have the advantage of immobilizing objects 100%. They are made from recyclable high-density polyethylene.
Air cushions are also ideal for dividing your boxes into compartments and separating your products from each other. Packing in a box also saves you time: the cushions are already inflated and come out one by one.
An additional advantage: because they are so light, they have no impact on shipping costs.
Electronics, hygiene articles, beauty and health products, food raw materials,... Nothing easier than protecting them with air cushions. Their only flaw? They cannot withstand the weight of heavier objects.
Are you planning to purchase filling material in the form of air cushions? What if you skipped a step and made them yourself? The air cushion machine "AirMove 2" is an interesting investment for professionals who have to send a lot of parcels every day. It is designed to handle up to 300 packs per day!
The device is silent and produces 10 meters of air cushions per minute for you. It doesn't take up much space either, as it's not larger than 37cm.
The rolls of film are pre-cut for easy use with an air cushion machine. They take up little space, but once inflated by the machine they become bulky and are perfect for packaging. You just have to choose the right size: separate cushions or a ribbon of cushions. The first choice is perfect for padding and securing your items in your parcels. With the second option you can wrap your objects or put the cushions in between. You will probably find space in your stock for these 350 meter rolls.
