Shipping picture frames can be risky due to their fragile nature. Learn why book wrap mailers offer the best protection, ensuring your frames arrive intact while saving on shipping costs. Discover more about their features and benefits, and why they're a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for your business.
When shipping picture frames, there’s always a risk of damage. The fragile nature of the glass, combined with the delicate structure of the frame itself, makes picture frames highly susceptible to breakage during transit.
Even minor impacts can lead to shattered glass, damaged corners, or broken frames, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and costly returns.
Shipping with inadequate packaging exacerbates these issues, as many packaging options fail to provide the level of protection needed to safeguard against knocks, drops, or bends.
Why Book Wraps Are Perfect for Picture Frames
Book wrap mailers provide the perfect solution for safely shipping picture frames, thanks to their unique design and robust construction.
Wrap-Around Design for Secure Fit and Minimal Movement
The book wrap's wrap-around design is specifically engineered to keep your picture frames snugly in place during shipping. The adjustable height feature accommodates various frame sizes, ensuring minimal movement within the packaging, which is crucial for preventing internal damage, especially to glass.
Built-in Protection for Corners and Edges
Picture frames are often vulnerable at the corners, which can chip or dent easily when mishandled. Book wraps come with buffer edges that protect against corner damage by cushioning the frames during transit. Additionally, the solid edges help prevent further impacts if the package is dropped or pushed through a letterbox onto a hard surface, safeguarding your product from that sudden impact.
Peel-and-Seal with Hot Melt Glue for Strength and Security
A standout feature of book wrap mailers is their peel-and-seal closure system, which uses ultra-strong hot melt glue. This not only provides a tight, secure seal, but it also forms a protective barrier that defends your frames against side impacts, corner crushing, and bending, which are common during postal handling. The result is a sturdy, damage-resistant package that ensures your frames reach customers intact and looking pristine.
Additional Benefits of Using Book Wrap Mailers
Beyond the protection and practicality, book wrap mailers offer additional cost-saving and eco-friendly advantages. For smaller picture frames, some sizes of book wraps qualify for Royal Mail’s large letter tariffs, which can help reduce your shipping costs. This is especially beneficial for e-commerce businesses looking to optimise shipping spend without compromising on quality or protection.
