There are many reasons to care about safe shipping for bulk glass table vases \u2014it can make or break a profit in the shipping business. I stood in a 40-foot container in Ningbo three years ago, as pallets of beautifully made table vases were being loaded. On arrival in Chicago, almost 20% of the vases were broken on these same pallets. This wasn\u2019t a one-off thing. The failure was inevitable, due to poor packing and handling procedures.<\/p>

The industry is still taking massive losses due to preventable damages. The average freight claim is $3,777 per incident and the cost of glass breakage to businesses is an estimated $4.7 billion a year. It is also found that about 1 out of every 51 LTL shipments is damaged during the handling process. Glass and ceramic breakage is consistently a 4% to 8% occurrence and still occurs today despite being sent in what is claimed to be \u2018specialized\u2019 packaging. Those numbers aren\u2019t normal for importers and wholesalers because it\u2019s too costly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Packaging Mistakes That Break Glass Vases<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is not fragility per se that is the real issue. It\u2019s the people making high dollar glass look like trash.<\/p>

Have the students grasp the basics. All v\u00e1z\u00e1k<\/a> must be protected separately. Don\u2019t bother with the single layer bubble. Make sure to use at least two layers of high density compression rated bubble wrap or foam sleeves that compress at 0.25\u20130.5 inch. Place them into custom cut corrugated inserts which eliminate side to side movement.
Most wholesalers, however, do it wrong. They halt at the inner box. If you are sending packages in bulk, you\u2019ll require a double-box system with a minimum 3-inch gap between the inner and outer containers, using some type of foam or air cushion. Corner protectors on all the outside edges of the boxes. With pallet level strapping, taking into account ocean swell or truck vibration.<\/p>

I\u2019m a man who has done this the hard way. Slightly less than 12-18% of the time, standard single-box setups fail international routes on rough legs. It is less than 2% with proper double-boxing which includes engineered void fill. When you\u2019re dealing with 5,000+ units, the math is tough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The truth is, inexpensive packaging is a bad business decision. If one container is damaged, it can wipe out the margin on three other containers.<\/p>

When using ocean freight, demand below deck stowage if feasible and always use shock and tilt monitors. They are little $8-15 pieces of equipment that record impacts over 5G and have saved my clients thousands in insurance disputes. As soon as you have indisputable data, the carriers get very cooperative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Common Questions About Shipping Bulk Glass Table Vases<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How to ship bulk glass table vases safely?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Bulk glass table vases<\/a> are individually wrapped to a minimum of 3\u2033 cushioning, pallet strapped and monitored for impact damage, resulting in an under 2% damage rate even on international routes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"biztons\u00e1gos\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What causes most breakage during shipping of glass vases?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The most common types of breakage are due to vibration, compression from stacking, and sudden impacts during handling. Poor void fill and floppy outer cartons make it easy for vases to bump into each other and result in the loss of the whole vase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Is bubble wrap enough for shipping glass table vases wholesale?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Whole-sale quantities do not normally require just bubble wrap. It needs to be used in conjunction with hard inserts, double boxing and good palletization to cope with the stresses of multi-modal transport.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

How do you prevent transit damage for fragile glass table vases?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Use of custom inserts to stop damage in transit, plus glass-specific carriers with 3-inch cushion zones and cross strapping pallets will help prevent transit damage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

What's the best way to pack glass vases for international shipping?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The best way is with foam or pulp dividers, with desiccant packs for humidity control on longer journeys, with weatherproof outer cartons and with full pallet covering with labels of \u201cFragile \u2013 Glass \u2013 This Side Up\u201d on all sides.<\/p>

Come on, I know how to handle pressure. Margins are tight. Buyers demand quicker delivery. However, small importers are ex-importers when they cut corners on packaging. Once you get it right, you\u2019ll have one less bone to worry about.<\/p>

Looking to make some cash from broken glass? Compare your packaging to the table above. If you then send me a note, or better yet, your current supplier specifications, I\u2019ll be able to tell you where it\u2019s most likely to break. They should not be 4-8% broken anymore in your next container load.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
