There are many questions that people ask about protective packaging, with the first one being, what is it?ย Well, protective packaging is packaging that was created to protect items from potential harm.ย The reason why protective packaging has become so popular is because itโs not only used to fulfill military requirements, but also to help businesses ship products to their clients.ย Now that we know what protective packaging is, letโs take a look at the other important questions: why, how, and when.
Why?
Some people may be asking themselves why they need protective packaging.ย The answer that everyone can agree on is that the reason why people want to use it is so that their products have better protection.ย When we ask โWhy?โ, we can also understand why our specific products need it.ย Do they need to be protected from water? Corrosion? Electrostatic discharge?
How?
Aside from choosing the right product, you also need to know how to use it.ย For instance, if you use anti-static bags, then itโs important that you know that the bags need to be completely closed.ย If the bag isnโt sealed properly, then the product inside wonโt be fully protected.ย For this reason, when you purchase protective packaging, you should ask the customer service representative how to use the products.
When?
There are two main times that you should use protective packaging.ย The main reason people buy them is to use them during shipment, as you never know what your packages will be exposed to during transit.ย The other time that it should be used, that many people forget about, is during storage.ย The reason being is that products are still exposed to potential threats, even if theyโre stored safely.
Aside from knowing which protective packaging to use, itโs also important to know why youโre using it, how to use it, and when to use it.ย If you have any other questions, ask an experienced manufacturer and distributor.
