Have you checked Pinterest lately? We have found some cool ideas by using/reusing things like glass bottles, cans, and buckets uploaded by some Pinterest users. Scroll down to find out more.
Are you planning on moving from one house to another or one office
to another? Have you started packing? If you have, you must have found out by
now that those little things that you think aren’t heavy, once collected in a
box makes a really weighty box. Leave alone the things that are originally heavy. This is when the heavy
duty boxes come in handy.
Our heavy duty boxes are actually meant for
shipping heavy items. However, in regards to aiding you in your important
moving day, they definitely help a great deal for the tiresome packing and
unpacking activities. No more worries that the box is going to be broken during
handling. Standard boxes might do well for lighter household things, but they
might not for heavier, breakable things. Insisting on using standard boxes
could lead to broken boxes. As that happens, the goods inside could be broken
too. Using heavy duty boxes is ought to be safer when moving from one place to
another.
Check out this link
to see our rich choices in heavy duty boxes. Two types of heavy duty boxes can
be chosen: single
wall corrugated board or double
wall corrugated board. The latter provides more strength than the first. But
it all depends on what you put into the box.
Heavy duty boxes also allow you to put more
things inside without worrying that they might break. This way you have fewer
boxes in your list to pack and unpack later.
When shipping large paper documents, such
as photographs and posters, it is wise to use mailing
tubes to protect them. Simply roll up the paper product you want to send
and insert it in the tube. This will protect the shipped item to arrive safely,
without any creases or damage. These shipping tubes are also useful to send
things like bats, fishing rods, bottles, etc.
Mailing tubes are made of strong cardboard
formed into cylindrical pipes. They are offered in many different sizes to fit
different needs and dimensions of products to be sent. Some come with screw
caps, while some others just need a pinch to close.
Bay Tec has quite a nice list of different
mailing tubes to offer. Screw-cap
mailers are specified for use with bottles containing non-hazardous
products. Telescopic
mailers, mailing
tubes and Kraft
mailing tubes are great to send posters, large print of photographs and
even baseball bats. Then there are also the economical crimped
end mail tubes which offer a more inexpensive option for shipping goods.

products? Feel free to browse the mailing tubes section of our website here.

"In the year of 2010 alone, Americans use 14 million tons of plastics in containers and packaging, 11 million tons in durable goods, and almost 7 million tons in throw-away items. Only 8 percent of those plastics used was recycled."
- The Environmental Protection Agency -
With that kind of statistics, we are still so far away from protecting the environment. It's hard to ignore how important the role of plastic is. It was first invented to make our life easier and it still is now, except that we understand that certain types of plastic take hundreds of years to decompose if they are simply wasted in the landfill.
So what can we do to make things better, without completely cutting off the use of plastic in our daily life?
I suppose we can do what the environmentalists suggest. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYLCE. We can reduce, for example, the single-use plastic goods; like coffee cups. Why not use glass cups instead? We can always wash them after using and reuse the cups another time.
Then the most obvious one is to recycle the recyclable plastic goods we have. Simply send the plastic things you have finished using (that are eligible to recycle) to the nearest recycling curb, and let them do their magic by turning the recycled plastic into something useful, like this T-shirt.
Start recycling today. Teach your kids to do it so that they can pass that around to the next generations to come. By acting responsibly to everything we do, we can hope for a better future for everybody.
One of our latest new items is Green Shipping Labels. The envelopes are made from 100% recycled polyethylene and reproduced using absolutely green methods.
The green envelopes are environmentally friendly products, given to the fact that the company manufacturing these use onlyrenewable energy in their production. The combination of both wind and solar power cut off their need of traditional electricity use - the one run by unrenewable coal power.
The pressure sensitive envelopes protect your shipping documents. The hot melted adhesive backing enables the labels to stick easily and strongly on paper or corrugated materials. Choose from two options: preprinted with "Packing List Enclosed" type or clear envelopes; each is available in two sizes: 4.5" x 5.5" and 7" x 5.5".
The green shipping labels are not only made of recycled goods, but they are also recylable as they reach the end of their life. Simply recycle these packing list labels together with the corrugated carton. Use these green shipping labels and contribute to saving the environment from now on.
Packaging
and shipping are two of important parts of having successful business.
Ensuring that a purchased item is well-packaged and safely shipped earns your
business a good reputation and most likely repeat clients. Not to mention that
these clients might refer you to their friends and acquaintances. That is why
you need to pay good attention to the way you package and ship your items.
Below are some useful packaging and shipping tips for your business.
If the item is considered
valuable, get an insurance to go with it. Accidents do happen during shipping.
It could accidentally fall of the delivery vehicle, or be crushed and damaged
from rough contact with other shipped goods. If this occurs, insurance would
put your mind and your client’s at ease that there is possible refund for the
damaged shipping.
For breakable items, make sure
you do the packaging properly. Even if it’s covered by insurance, the company
will not refund it if it breaks due to bad packaging. Choose the right packaging
boxes (make sure they are not too big or the content will wobble inside and
get damaged), filling
and cushioning, and stick the “FRAGILE” warning
stickers on all sides.
Use plastic to wrap the package
in case of wet deliveries. An inexpensive option will be to use economical
trash liners. Other plastic options to wrap around the shipped item can be
browsed here.
The tips make sense, don’t they? By ensuring
that the goods are well-packaged and they arrive in mint condition to the hands
of the customer, it makes you a responsible and trusted seller. Keep doing that
and you’ll gain better reputation and hopefully more new clients in the future.
