The Internet has truly been revolutionary. It has connected people in a level that has never been seen before and has made the world so much smaller than it already is.

The web has been particularly revolutionary in trade. People can buy things online without any regard for the item’s source and destination. Through online shops, we can buy items from anywhere in the world and have them delivered directly to our doorsteps.

The boom in online shopping has also placed greater demand on the shipping and mailing industry, as well as on the packaging companies.

PRECIOUS CARGO

The main concern of shipping is being able to pack items in such a way that will protect the item from being destroyed or broken while in transit. In response to this, shipping envelopes have been redesigned into padded mailing envelopes and bubble envelopes.

Padded mailing envelopes and bubble envelopes have been designed especially for the packing and shipping of small items. Padded mailing envelopes have extra layers of cardboard and foam to protect important documents, while bubble envelopes have pockets of air in the middle to act as shock absorbers so as not to crush the object inside.

Mainly, these specialty envelopes are meant to act as cushions and keep their contents safe while being shipped and handled from one place to another.

Of course bubble envelopes and padded mailing envelopes offer limited protection and are not recommended for very valuable items and electronic gadgets. Because they are lightweight and not very rigid, these shipping envelopes are ideal only for documents and small, non-electronic items such as books, CD’s, and other similar things.

When shipping electronic gadgets, it is best to use a box, with generous amounts of packing material such as paper towels and Styrofoam. The farther the destination, the more secure the item should be inside the box, allowing no movement as much as possible.
