Selecting Packing and Shipping Supplies on Amazon.com
Packing and shipping supplies include a range of products used for packaging, mailing, and shipping applications including boxes, mailers, packing paper and foam, bubble pack, tape and dispensers, labels, and label printers. They can be used in professional, industrial, and residential environments.
Corrugated shipping boxes typically come in cardboard or a similar durable material that has folds for flat shipping and can be assembled at point of use. Although boxes typically can be sealed at the top and bottom with tape, some types have a top that remains open for display. Mailers, or shipping mailers, are used to ship small items. Made from plastic, paper, or cardboard, they are available in several shapes such as envelopes and tubes. Envelope mailers can be flexible or rigid and may include a padded lining to protect fragile contents. Mailing tubes are generally made from rigid cardboard or plastic and help protect documents that may bend during the shipping process. Packing paper and packing foam can be used with shipping boxes or other storage containers to help protect content. Packing paper is available in newsprint and brown paper form. Newsprint paper is thinner than reinforced brown paper, which is layered to protect heavy objects. Packing foam provides additional protection and cushion for surfaces like glass. Bubble pack generally offers better resistance to shock than packing paper or foam, making it suitable for fragile items.
Packing tape provides a method for sealing various packaging. Packing tape is available in several backing and adhesive materials, which each provide their own benefit, and may include messaging or tamper-resistant features. Dispensers are available to allow one-hand use. Labels and label printers are used to create shipping labels and other media labels for various packaging.
