How can paper packaging protect glass without breaking?

There is no doubt that in recent years paper-based packaging has become an available option for users as a sustainable and versatile solution for protecting fragile items, including glass. Using biodegradable and recyclable materials such as corrugated cardboard, kraft paper and molded pulp, paper-based packaging provides cushioning, durability and is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic and foam. Ideal for companies striving to minimize their impact on the environment, paper-based packaging meets green initiatives without compromising on protective properties.

1. Selecting corrugated cardboard materials with cushioning capabilities

Corrugated cardboard is a popular choice for glass packaging because of its strength and shock absorbing properties. It features multiple layers of fluted material sandwiched between flat linerboards to create a structure that effectively disperses impact. Double or triple layers of corrugated board are often used for added strength and flexibility. These layers flex under pressure, distributing the force evenly and absorbing the impact, thus reducing the risk of glass items breaking. Also, the edges of the corrugated board can be custom reinforced to provide additional support in the high-impact areas where glass is most vulnerable.

2. Innovative design with soft inserts

Cardboard, sponge, EVA and other inserts are designed to form a tight protective layer around glassware. Lightweight but strong, these materials are carefully designed to fit the unique shape of each item, preventing movement and providing a shock barrier. Maximum protection is provided by custom sizing for a snug fit.

3. Shredded paper shock-absorbing packaging accessories

To further enhance protection, glass packaging solutions often include multiple layers of wrapping and cushioning, with kraft paper, shredded paper and even cushioning paper materials to protect against external impacts and prevent scratches to the glass surface. Wrapping glass items in environmentally friendly shredded paper creates a dense cushioning effect with excellent shock absorption, while being fully recyclable and biodegradable.

4. Design of dividers for multiple glassware items

Dividers are essential for packaging multiple glassware items in a single box. Crown Win's packaging solutions include custom dividers designed to separate each glass item and prevent them from colliding during shipping. Partitions are especially useful for products such as glassware sets, bottles, or jars that separate glassware. Partitions eliminate the risk of glassware bumping into each other and breaking.

5. Increase safety corners of outer packaging

In the transportation of glass packaging, the corners of the outer packaging are prone to extrusion and deformation or collision damage, the addition of special edge protectors and corner protectors can provide additional protection for these areas to prevent cracking and shattering, reduce the risk of damage to glass items due to sudden impacts, and make them more resilient in the transportation process.
