Advantages of using bubble mailers
by Rick Landreaux
In this article we will explain what bubble mailers are and which are the best places to buy them.
The world has turned into a "Global Village" and people from all over the world can make business with each other and easily transfer goods from place to another. Selling products on the Internet can generate a lot of profit, but customers rely on you to have their goods shipped in a safe and timely manner. Therefore, perfect shipment is essential for maintening a good reputation and expanding your business.
Bubble mailers consist of a strong puncture resistant mail bag with bubbles filled with air. Due to their specifics, bubble mailers are a very effective shipping material, protecting your products against the hazards of shipping. Bubble mailers are extremely cost effective, because they are lightweight and require less postage than shipping boxes. There are also self-sealing bubble mailers that save valuable insertion and fastening time and offer added tampering security.
Bubble mailers are used to ship variety of things. Mostly, bubble mailers are used for the packaging of CD's, DVD's, cell phones, video games, cosmetics, jewelry, trading cards, hardware & tools, accessories. It should be pointed out that despite the fact that bubble mailers have excellent cushioning capabilities, they don't have any stacking strength. That's why, they are not recomended for shipping goods that can be easily crushed.
All bubble mailer matierals are produced based on a technology originally patented by Sealed Air. This is a durable, waterproof packaging material, in fact this is the lightest type of cushioned envelopes that you can buy. The bubble wrap was invented by two engineers - Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, back in 1957. Just like many other discoveries, this one also happened by accident, when to two scientists were trying to create a textured plastic wallpaper.
When Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes realized the potential of their discovery, they went on to patent the technology and created the Sealed Air Corporation 1960. 47 years later, Sealed Air is still the leading company in its industry constantly innovating and providing consumers with improved materials. The bubble mailers from Sealed Air have higher initial thickness and fullness, and provide up to 30% greater protection. This is possible thanks to the new barrier layer introduced by Sealed Air, which is 100 times more resistant to the passage of air than even a thick single layer of polyethylene used by other brands.
The advantages of bubble mailers as a packagaing material are really convincing. Bubble mailers provide superior cushioning. They can be used multiple times and are also recyclable, which makes them environmentally friendly.
On the Internet you will find websites selling bubble mailers, but we will just mention two companies, because they are amongst the leaders - ShippingSupply.com and SealedAir.com. ShippingSupply.com have a 10 day money-back guarantee, quantity discounts and tens of different models to choose from. The bubble mailers from SealedAir.com offer superior cushioning and surface protection.
specialist Rick Landreaux says that the thing to remember is that although those envelopes provide a certain level of protection, they are not suitable for fragile materials, like glass, ceramics, porcelain. This article is available as a unique content article with free reprint rights.
