Securing Long Product Shipments: Insights from The Packaging Doctor
Recently, I received an interesting query from a reader named Simon, who runs a business crafting replica lightsabers inspired by the iconic Star Wars series. He’s been thriving since launching his venture, but now faces the challenge of finding cost-effective packaging solutions to ensure his fragile yet lengthy products arrive safely during shipping. As he relies on a courier service, he needed advice tailored to balancing affordability and safety. Here's how we addressed his concerns:
The Packaging Prescription

Dear Simon,
Congratulations on your success! Your entrepreneurial journey sounds inspiring, and I’m happy to help. Since your products are long and delicate, I recommend using a sturdy postal tube for optimal protection. Our tubes come in various sizes, with the largest measuring 1250mm x 152mm (Length x Diameter), which should comfortably accommodate your lightsabers. Postal tubes minimize movement during transit, reducing the risk of damage.
To enhance protection, consider wrapping each item in bubble wrap—specifically the 'Jiffy Astro SupraBubble.' This material offers excellent cushioning while remaining lightweight, helping lower shipping costs. Bubble wrap fills any extra space inside the tube, acting as a buffer against vibrations and environmental factors like humidity or temperature changes. These precautions will help preserve the integrity of your products throughout their journey.
May the force of good packaging guide your business forward!
