We all know that many brands now choose to use glass to hold their products. This is not only because the glass looks exquisite and has a good texture but also because the glass material has good barrier properties, which can well isolate gases such as oxygen and prevent bottle contents from deteriorating. Moreover, the glass can also prevent the volatilization of the substances in the bottle, and preserve the substances in the bottle to the greatest extent.
With the widespread use of glass products, there is a problem that comes with it. How can the glass bottle be protected during transportation? Customers hope their package can be delivered safely and have a good unpacking experience. For manufacturers, being able to deliver the goods intact is also an issue that must be considered. Glass bottles are fragile. Without proper packaging, it is difficult to prevent the material in the glass bottle from overflowing and causing deterioration during transportation. It is even more impossible to improve the all-around customer experience. Therefore, suitable and safe packaging is crucial to both manufacturers and consumers. In this blog, I will describe several common packages for shipping bottles to you.
Foam packaging
foam packaging is a more common choice in fragile packaging. In addition to providing a cushioning air bubble for fragile or sensitive objects, foam packaging also has the advantage of being lightweight. But it has a fatal disadvantage: foam is a very environmentally unfriendly material. After we use the foam box, it often retains dirt and requires a lot of hot water to clean, which is easy to cause a waste of resources. Therefore, many users will discard the foam box directly after use, but foam is difficult to degrade, and easy to cause “white pollution.” As for the disposal of waste foam boxes, the method of landfill is usually used. But it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Wooden box
Wooden boxes are also suitable when shipping glass bottles, especially for wine transport. Due to the solid structure of the wooden wine box, it has a strong bearing capacity, wear resistance, bending resistance, and large carrying capacity. Moreover, the wooden wine box has a certain heat insulation function and moisture-proof function, which is beneficial to the storage and fermentation of red wine. In addition, the wooden wine box can retain the red wine’s aroma and precipitate a more intense wine aroma. But we all know that wooden packaging is very expensive, so wooden boxes are not a good choice for ordinary glass bottle transportation.
Compared with the two kinds of packaging mentioned above, the following kinds of packaging are more economical and environmentally friendly.
Corrugated bubble wrap
The corrugated bubble packaging is used to contain air in the film to form bubbles to cushion the collision during transportation. It can protect the product when it is shaken, and it also has heat preservation and heat insulation functions. It is suitable for packaging or turnover of different products from all walks of life. Since the middle layer of the air cushion film is filled with air, it does not add much weight to the package. It is also elastic, soundproof, shockproof, and wear-resistant. It can also be waterproof, moisture-proof, and pressure-resistant.
When it completes the shipping process, consumers only need to vent the gas inside, and the packaging can be easily disposed of. As a result, this packaging that reduces waste disposal is increasingly preferred by manufacturers and is often used for glass bottles, pottery, art, candles, glassware, books that may suffer from edge crush issues, etc. These items vary in size and need to be individually wrapped and protected to prevent them from damaging each other during shipping.
Environmentally friendly paper tube packaging
Another type of packaging that deserves attention is environmentally friendly paper tube packaging. This kind of packaging can be well adapted to the needs of glass bottles in shape and can be designed into any shape according to the needs of the product. In addition, the manufacturing cost of this kind of packaging is much cheaper than the wooden packaging mentioned above in the article. Not only that, but the packaging of the cylindrical carton can also print the product’s logo, pattern, etc. on it, which is helpful for brand promotion. Moreover, since the glass jar itself is not recyclable and is not an environmentally friendly material, it can be made up for with the help of a cylindrical carton.
Cardboard Boxes with Dividers
Generally speaking, many companies cannot specially design a packaging box for a certain product. But the creation of cardboard boxes with partitions solved this problem. It can change the distance between the partitions at any time according to the size of the product, which will give you a lot of flexibility when you use it on bottles of different sizes and shapes. You can also add buffers such as wood wool, grass wool, other filling materials, and even the corrugated air bubbles mentioned above. When packing, these filling materials can be placed on the carton’s bottom, top, or sides, and they can be used to fill the small empty space in the box and create the perfect cushioning effect. It will keep the glass from moving around in the package while protecting it from minor drops and bumps.
