Choosing the right size bubble mailer ensures that your product is adequately cushioned and protected during shipping.
Follow these steps to determine the correct size:
- Measure Your Product: Use a ruler or measuring tape to accurately measure the length, width, and height of your product at its largest points.
- Add Extra Space: Add at least 1 inch of extra space on all sides of the product to allow for sufficient cushioning and prevent the item from pressing against the edges of the mailer. For fragile or delicate items, consider adding 2 inches of extra space.
- Consider Thickness: If you’re shipping a fragile or delicate item, opt for a bubble mailer with thicker bubble padding for enhanced protection. Thicker padding provides greater shock absorption and can better withstand rough handling.
Example:
If your product measures 6 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches high, you would need a bubble mailer with minimum interior dimensions of 8 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches high (adding 1 inch on each side).
