We know exactly How to Ship Glass Without It Breaking

Nothing is more frustrating than paying for a new piece of glassware only to have it arrive broken. Whether you're setting up a new store or just replacing a piece of broken glassware, you'll want to make sure that your fragile items are packaged properly before sending them out via postal service or courier. Glass is an inherently fragile material and can be easily damaged during transit. To ensure that the glass arrives in one piece, follow these tips:

Use a Custom Mailer Box with Padding

The first step to protecting your glassware during shipping is to use a custom mailer box that fits the item in question. For example, if you have a wine glass, the box should be sturdy enough to hold it without breaking. The second factor is that the box needs to be as small as possible so that it can fit into a mailbox when properly packaged up with padding. Finally, there needs to be some sort of protective layer over the top of your glassware in case something happens during transit -- such as having an object fall on top of it or being thrown around by UPS workers who don't care about fragile items because they make minimum wage and don't care about anything at all anyway!

Choose the Right Shipping Box Dimensions

One of the most important things to remember when shipping glass is that you need to use the right size box. You should choose one that’s big enough to fit all of your items, but not larger than necessary. The box should also be sturdy enough to hold up under the weight of anything being shipped inside it.

Avoid Sending Glass without a Pulp Tray

When it comes to buying a shipping box for glass, you have three options: ready-made boxes that you can buy in stores, custom boxes that you order online, or homemade boxes. Ready-made shipping boxes come in many different sizes and shapes; they're made with thick cardboard on the outside and some type of padding inside. The thicker the cardboard and better its quality, the more likely it will be able to withstand pressure from other items inside the box during transit—and more importantly, this means that less of your precious glassware will break! However, these ready-made shipping boxes tend to cost more than those built at home by hand.

One benefit of buying your own ready made packaging is that it's environmentally friendly; if everyone used their own packaging instead of relying on pre-made ones (or worse yet throwing away reusable materials like bubble wrap), there would be much less waste going into landfills across America every year. Another advantage is how recyclable these types are: after all is said and done with your shipment process—whether successful or not—the cardboard can be recycled again!

Protect Glass by Wrapping it in Bubble Wrap First

If you want to protect glass, bubble wrap is an excellent choice. Bubble wrap comes in different thicknesses and sizes, so it can be used for a variety of purposes. The most common type of bubble wrap is 0.5 mm thick (the kind that’s used for packing fragile items), but there are also 1mm and 2mm versions available if you need something more durable or heavy-duty.

Bubble wrap is available in different colors too! You can choose from white, clear, gold and silver shades depending on the look you’re going for. It may seem like an insignificant detail, but choosing the right color will give your shipment an extra pop of personality without adding any cost or hassle — just make sure to keep track when ordering!

Use Specialized Packaging for Your Shipment

• Use a custom box with padding. Packing your glass in a standard cardboard box is a bad idea—even if you wrap it well, the box won’t be able to withstand the pressure of being dropped or crushed during shipping. Instead, buy custom crates that are specifically made for transporting fragile items like glass. These boxes will have thicker cardboard and more cushioning than standard cardboard boxes, which means your shipment won't get damaged as easily.
• Choose the right dimensions for your box. When choosing which size of crate to use for your shipment, keep in mind how many pieces are going into it so that you don't end up with too much extra space after packing them all up—you want as little empty space as possible in order to maintain structural integrity throughout transportation (and avoid any unnecessary breakage). If there's only one item going into the crate (or just few items), consider making a smaller one instead; this way there'll be less likelihood of breakage during transit because there isn't much room around its edges where they may hit against other surfaces while being transported by truck or cargo plane etcetera.
• Wrap each piece individually with bubble wrap first before placing them inside their respective spaces within each individual container.

There are many ways you can ensure that your glass won't break in transit.

There are many ways you can ensure that your glass won't break in transit. In fact, the rules for packing and shipping glass have been standardized by the United States Postal Service (USPS) and most other carriers worldwide.

If you want to ship glass without it breaking, choose the right custom mailer box with padding. Also, pay attention to the dimensions of your particular piece and make sure there's enough space for packaging around it. If at all possible, avoid sending glass without a pulp tray or other protective packaging as well—even if it doesn’t seem like much protection, it helps! Finally, opt for ready-made shipping boxes with thick cardboard or bubble wrap around your item before boxing up everything else into one big parcel.
