How to safely package and ship books
A book is a true symbol of knowledge and intelligence. For this reason, Book Boxes are commonly used worldwide to provide your favorite readings the protection they deserve. This packaging keeps readings intact from the point of manufacture until they reach the end-user. It mainly focuses upon the fact that readings are meant to be kept for as long as one wishes to, and so they need to be stored in an encasement that provides them the right ambiance for them to last a lifetime. Below mentioned are some of the ways you can assure that your readings are kept safe from any existing or potential damages during transit.
Wrap them in plastic to prevent liquid contact
If you are considering getting books shipped through sea or ocean, a plastic Ziploc bag is a perfect way of protecting readings against any contact with water and other liquids. This Ziploc bag is airproof and can be sealed instantly. If you have trouble finding a Ziploc bag, then a simple grocery bag could also be a substitute. Readings can be placed in these bags and folded over from the top. Adhesive tape could be used to tightly seal the bag from the edges to provide the safety that is required. Book boxes for moving can be used to place these tightly packaged books that are to be transited from one place to the other.
Use cardboard to avoid deformation
No customer likes receiving book subscription boxes carrying readings that are wrinkled and have developed unnecessary bends. Readings must arrive at the customer in their original form to maintain the reader’s excitement and satisfaction. For this reason, plain pieces of cardboard can be used to sandwich the reading to protect its cover against any bends that are likely to form during the shipping process. During the loading and unloading process, boxes are piled upon one another so that less space can be occupied. However, creating a pile could result in readings losing their original shape that could kill the reader’s excitement. It is, however, recommended to use plain cardboards as the printed ones could transfer prints onto the readings, thus creating a mess.
Use the right-sized packaging
The primary element to focus on when preparing a package to place readings is the size. A small size packaging won’t provide enough space to keep your weighty and large-sized books. Hence it is important to consider that packaging with the right dimensions is used. For instance, Monthly Book Boxes that are given out to the customers vary in sizes, shapes, and styles to suit the nature of readings. For weighty novels and journals, spacious packaging is required to withstand the weight. This packaging is made from cardboard stock that is quite durable and sturdy in nature and holds the ability to withstand various densities. This packaging makes sure that the readings are kept straight and are not get bent or squished during their transit journey.
Fill it up to provide a smooth bottom
Readings must be provided an ambiance in which they tend to maintain their originality. Keeping this in view, the packaging must be stuffed with bubble wraps, paddings, crumbled plastic, or newspaper. Attention must be paid to pad the corners of the packaging to avoid any damage to the hardcover of the readings during the transit process. The packaging is spacious enough to sort the books by size. Each stack consisting of similar-sized reading could be bubble wrapped and placed in the packaging.
Use adhesive tape for a tight seal
After the readings have been packed in stacks using protective elements, the box in which the stacks are to be placed must be paid attention to. The lid of the packaging could be closed using an adhesive tape that functions as a tight sealing for the packaging. Cover any flap or opening on the packaging with tape to prevent any sort of ripping during the transit. However, attention must be paid to the fact that the recipient does not like cutting off any unnecessary tapes, and so an ideal amount that neatly seals the packaging must be used.
Use decals to address the packaging
Decals are stickers that are used on the packaging to provide important yet trivial details to the loaders and the postmen. These decals can be printed using quality offset and digital printing techniques to put the recipient’s address and contact details. It is recommended to print the addresses cautiously to avoid any inconveniences while the delivery door to door. Bold and visible font sizes and styles must be used to imprint these details so that the information can easily be viewed. In addition to this, decals can also be used to rightfully instruct the loaders about the nature of the items being shipped. In this case, decals could be imprinted with the word ‘Fragile ‘so that loaders can cautiously handle the packaging to prevent any damages.Books will always be an important part of our lives due to the way they enlighten us with all the knowledge that revolves around us. Book Boxes are considered the most promising packaging solutions as they protect our readings against any unforeseen circumstances that are likely to arise during the shipping process.
