Make Sure You Wrap Your Christmas Presents in Bubble Wrap If They Are Being Posted
Wrapping your gifts in bubble wrap is especially important if you are packing delicate items such as glasses or CDs or DVDs. If they will be mailed over long distances, proper wrapping becomes even more crucial. Bubble wrapping will ensure that they are protected from friction and minimises the impact if the items are hit during transit. It is easily available from packaging supplies stores and quite affordable too. So you can go ahead and buy your friend her favourite album without fearing that the CD case will break before she receives it.
Bubble wrap possesses a number of qualities that make it an automatic choice for wrapping presents that will be posted during the festive season to loved ones. As we have already stated, it possesses protective qualities that are essential for delicate items. The sponge-like protection it gives is useful for not only DVDs and glass; it will also keep porcelain and the vulnerable screens of electronic devices safe from scratching and breakage. It also easily takes the shape of the item you are wrapping, so whether angular or curved, it will easily cover it and be sealed tight with tape if necessary. You can use paper for this purpose, but there is the risk of it scratching delicate surfaces and also the risk of it tearing, leaving your items exposed.
If you are good at recycling, you may not even need to buy the wrap. With the heightening concern over plastics and the risk their disposal poses to the environment, you can do your bit by reusing materials from a present you received yourself or from an item that you bought which was delivered in bubble wrapping. Or using what was left over from when you moved into your house. It is therefore a good idea to unwrap parcels carefully and preserve packaging materials such as packing peanuts, cardboard boxes and plastic bags for reuse.
However, if you are looking for a specific design of bubble wrap, you might just have to buy it. Most parcels come wrapped in the common clear variety which will not do if you want to send your gift in coloured wrapping. Or the wrapping you have in store may have tiny bubbles and you want bigger bubbles. In most packaging retailers you will be able to find these variations of wrapping and more, including the metallic coloured kind as well as a variety of roll sizes.
