Let it be international parcels or online shopping, the safety of our products has always been our first priority. We always fear if our parcels will be delivered to us in one piece. Well, sometimes it reaches us safely and sometimes it doesn’t. There are many ways by which courier companies try to keep our parcel safe. Out of the ways used, the most convenient way is using bubble wrap for packing.
Bubble wrap is mainly used to pack fragile items like glass utensils, show pieces, etc. It was created back in 1957, by two inventors. The amazing thing is they were creating three – dimensional plastic wallpaper but it was a failure and they accidently created something totally different which we now know as bubble wrap. They realized that they can use this in packing fragile items and so we got our bubble wrap. Now let’s see about the advantages of bubble wrap and how convenient it is to use in terms of packing.
So let us get to it –
1. Bubble wrap is an excellent insulator against impacts.
We all know that while shipping goods, they are handled quite roughly because of quantity. Even by road means the ways are unfortunately bumpy. So, the use of bubble wrap to cover their packing seems like the best bet to ensure the package’s safety. The air sealed bubbles form a shield to protect our parcel.
2. Bubble wrap is lightweight.
One more advantage of this thing is that it doesn’t add any weight to your parcel. The bubbles are filled with complete air. This feature of it makes it light in weight and strong enough to protect delicate parcels. In some companies the money needed depends on the weight of the parcel. So this also saves your cash as bubble wrap is weightless.
3. Bubble wrap is reusable.
Bubble wrap is carefully removed by the receivers. They carefully unpack the parcel and use it to pack another one which saves some money. If the bubbles are not popped due to shipping then these wraps are used in other parcels. Bubble wraps are recyclable and reusable as long as we are handy with it.
4. Bubble wrap is cost-effective.
Bubble wraps are really cost-effective and can be purchased at really low costs. Some vendors or small scale industries that do not have such a big economy can also ship their products wrapped in bubble wraps. They can safely ship their products without the fear of getting it damaged or broken anyhow.
5. Bubble wrap is a stress reliever.
Start popping, you won’t stop. This may sound like some kind of jingle but this is a fun fact about bubble wraps. They are really a stress reliever. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), says that people who pop air bubbles are energetic. Popping bubbles is known to be a ‘meditative relaxation technique’. So keep popping!
