Whenever you are sending anything through the post
, you need to make sure that you choose something suitable to send it in. Obviously for basic letters you can use a standard envelope and for larger items a cardboard box can be the most suited. As well as these two packaging products, padded envelopes can also be used for a wide variety of items and there are a number of reasons that can make them the perfect solution.
The biggest advantage in choosing to this envelope over a regular type is the level of protection and cushioning that is provided. Each envelope will usually have a layer of bubble wrap attached on the inside although some may use other materials. This layer gives the contents a good amount of protection against any minor knocks that may occur during transit. Not only does it give cushioning but it also helps to conceal what is inside as it is hard to feel what the contents are through the bubble wrap.
You will find that most retailers will stock a wide range of these bubble wrap envelopes so you can purchase ones suited to your needs. There will generally be numerous different sizes that you can purchase with some of the smaller ones being around 90mm x 145mm and the larger ones going up to 340mm x 445mm. Obviously the size you buy is going to be determined by what you need to send with smaller ones being perfect for jewellery, CD's and DVD's and the larger ones most suited for clothes, books and photo frames. As well as the different sizes available, you will also usually be able to purchase either white or gold varieties.
If you go online to make your purchase then you will find that you can end up saving a lot of money if you are going to be buying in bulk. For example, the price of 10 of the smallest ones will usually be under 1.50, if you choose to buy 100 of them the cost is under 7 and if you more than that you can get 1000 for less than 50. If you are in business and need a regular supply then choosing to buy in these larger quantities will help to reduce your costs.
With so many different sizes available, they can be used for a wide range of deliveries. Whether you are sending something small that isn't suitable for a normal envelope or a larger item that doesn't really need a box, padded envelopes can be the best option to go for.
