Choosing The Best Supporting Packaging

Whether you are sending a delicate item as a one-off delivery

, or whether your business regularly sends sensitive items, it is important that you choose the right supporting packaging for the job. Without the right type of packaging, your goods could easily become damaged in transit and this means moving them could work out being much more difficult and more costly than it needs to be. This is clearly an area that matters, so it pays to get it right. One type of supportive packaging that is hugely useful for many different industries is foam / sponge rubber as it has many excellent properties that make it an ideal material for the job.

Weight reduction

When you are packing something sensitive, the weight of the package might not be the most important thing on your mind, but the weight can make a big difference to factors such as how easy it is to transport something and how much it costs to do so. This is why it can be useful to choose packaging that weighs as little as possible while still providing you with the support you need. Sponge rubber is lightweight yet sturdy, which is one of the reasons it is so popular as a supportive packaging material.

Shock absorption

The safety of your item when it is in transit is one of the most important factors to consider whenever you are sending anything, whether it's a small package in the standard post or something that requires professional, tailored delivery. A packaging material that offers shock absorption is important, particularly if you are transporting something that could easily break or that has delicate components. This means that rather than the item itself absorbing any shocks that might come its way, the packaging will do this instead and help to insulate the product from damage.

Pressure distribution

This is linked to the idea of pressure distribution. Let's say you need to transport something that involves sensitive chemicals. These need to be transported very careful in order to avoid breakages, spillages and other types of damage that could be harmful to humans as well as lead to you incurring costs due to the damage caused. Carefully selected packaging that offers pressure distribution will help to keep the items steady and balanced while they are in transit, keeping them stable so you can transport them with greater confidence.

Sponge rubber is very versatile and it can be tailored to the needs of individual requirements. This means you can get exactly the pressure distribution you need, whatever you are packaging.

Thermal insulation

Finally, whether you need to keep an item cool or warm during transportation, sponge rubber can be a very good type of supportive packaging to use as it offers insulation. It is also water-resistant and safe for humans to handle, meaning that it ticks all of the boxes when it comes to supportive packaging, giving you peace of mind that whenever you need to transport something that requires extra care and attention, there is the best possible chance that it will get to the other end in one piece.
