Transporting glass products is a high-risk activity and damage is inevitable. As one of the top paper packaging and printing manufacturers in China, Crown Win Box Manufacturer understands that appropriate packaging design and packaging technology are key to ensuring the safe delivery of glass products. Whether you are transporting glass art, cosmetic glass bottles, or home glass decorations, our industry expertise in packaging solutions can ensure that your fragile items are delivered to their destination intact. This guide details how we protect the packaging of glass products and how to fully utilize the strength, cushioning, and customizability of paper packaging.
Why is corrugated paper packaging necessary for the transportation of glass products?
The reason why corrugated paper packaging has become the gold standard for glass product transportation is that its sturdy and shock-absorbing structure can effectively resist collisions, drops, and friction during transportation, forming a protective barrier. Unlike single-layer paper or environmentally friendly foam, corrugated cardboard (through its corrugated inner core) can provide multi-layer cushioning, and can be completely customized in Crown Win Box Manufacturer packaging to adapt to products of various shapes and sizes. Our corrugated cardboard boxes and linings are carefully designed to meet the unique needs of fragile glass - to achieve a balance between protection, sustainability and cost-effectiveness, and are suitable for enterprises of all sizes.
Step 1: Use corrugated cardboard to protect glass products
The first principle of glass product transportation is that individual protection is crucial. For each glass product, first use a layer of acid free packaging paper as the bottom layer to prevent surface scratches, and then wrap it with at least 3 layers of bubble wrap to absorb impact.
Customized corrugated cardboard lining:
For mass transportation (such as nail polish set, wine cup or small glassware set), customized corrugated cardboard lining does not need tedious separate packaging, and is more protective than paper lining. The team at Crown Win Box Manufacturer has designed a precision cut corrugated cardboard liner with custom cuts that can securely hold each piece of glass, preventing movement and collisions during transportation. Corrugated cardboard lining provides built-in cushioning, which is better than paper lining and can be printed - you can add brand logo or product details to create a high-end unpacking experience (this is an advantage that foam lining does not have).
For larger or heavier glass products (such as glass vases and candlesticks), our thickened corrugated cardboard lining provides stronger support, and makes up for the shortcomings between paper lining and foam lining without sacrificing environmental protection.
Step 2: Choose suitable corrugated cardboard boxes and fillers
The success of transporting glass products depends on the appropriate size of corrugated cardboard boxes and reasonable filling materials. Crown Win cardboard box manufacturers offer corrugated boxes of various wall thicknesses (single-layer, double-layer, three-layer) and corrugated types (A-F), allowing you to choose the most suitable box hardness based on the weight and transportation distance of your glass products.
Key factors of cardboard box size
Leave a buffer space of 5 centimeters (2 inches) between the packaged glassware and the various sides (top, bottom, left, right) of the corrugated cardboard box. This space is crucial for absorbing impact forces and is also the place where the filling material plays its best role.
Environmentally friendly corrugated cardboard box filling material
Say goodbye to plastic foam particles - select paper fillers (e.g. crumpled kraft paper, corrugated paper scraps) to meet the goal of sustainable packaging. The following is our effective process:
Lay a paper filling of at least 5 centimeters at the bottom of the corrugated cardboard box to form a soft base.
Place the protected glass product (or lined glass product) in the center of the cardboard box.
Fill all remaining gaps with filling material and add an additional 10-15% filling material to slightly overflow the cardboard box - this ensures that glass products do not move freely when shaking the cardboard box.
Use high-strength packaging tape and H-shaped sealing (sealing top/bottom seams and folding covers) to seal the cardboard box for optimal protection and prevent accidental opening during transportation.
Step 3: Transport multiple glass products using corrugated cardboard boxes
For small and lightweight glass products (weighing less than 2.3 kg/5 pounds), if corrugated paper partitions are used, multiple glass products can share a corrugated cardboard box. Our customized corrugated paper partitions can create independent compartments for each glass product, avoiding contact with each other and evenly distributing weight. Important reminder: The weight difference between items should be controlled within 1 kilogram/2 pounds to avoid heavier items crushing lighter items.
For glass products weighing over 2.3 kg/5 pounds, it is necessary to use separate corrugated cardboard boxes. For overweight glass products (over 4.5 kg/10 pounds), we recommend using double-layer corrugated paper packaging method: put the packaged glass products into a small customized corrugated paper box, then nest it in a larger corrugated paper box, and fill the gap between the two boxes with paper filling. This double-layer corrugated paper packaging method can effectively protect glass products.
Professional tip: Label your corrugated cardboard boxes and create a brand image
Attach fragile labels on each side of the corrugated cardboard box and add universal easy to read markings (such as "This side up", "Handle with care") to complete the packaging. Crown Win Box Manufacturer offers custom printing services for all corrugated cardboard boxes and liners - you can print these logos (as well as your brand logo) directly onto the packaging without the need for labels and enhance brand awareness.
