• Do you need fragile stickers?

  When shipping glass items like lamps and mirrors, using fragile items will give you extra peace of mind that your items will arrive in one piece to their intended destination. The use of packaging solutions like foam sheets and bubble wrap certainly helps. But so does putting several fragile labels on the box so the people who handle your package will know to handle it with care.

• Does fragile sticker work?

  Yes, using fragile stickers work but don’t expect them to put a magical force field around your package. Protecting your fragile items is all about combining the kind of shippers you use, how much handling they do, and how well they train their staff. Fragility has different levels, and putting a sticker on a box won’t make its glass contents stronger. For this reason, it’s also important to consider the importance of practicing good packaging solutions for your fragile items. Using packing foam, bubble wrap, and the like alongside your fragile sticker will come a long way in ensuring that your items will remain safe during shipping.

• What is a fragile label?

  A fragile label is designed to be put on luggage or packages that require careful handling because it contains fragile items.
