How to Package Stationery and Office Supplies
Choosing the Right Packaging Materials
- Boxes: Select sturdy fibreboard for packaging items such as business cards, spare paper, stationery, and office supplies. It also offers a more environmentally sustainable way to manufacture lightweight yet sturdy boxes.
- Padding and Cushioning: Use appropriate cushioning materials such as bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or crumpled paper to protect against shocks and impacts against stationery and office supplies.
- Sealing: Securely seal the boxes using high-quality packing tape to prevent accidental opening during transportation.
Packaging Fragile Items
- Wrap each delicate item individually with bubble wrap or protective foam to safeguard the stationery and office supplies.
- Place fragile items in the center of the box, surrounded by sufficient cushioning material, to create a protective buffer.
- Clearly label the box as “Fragile” to alert handlers to exercise extra care.
