Just how many forms can protective packaging take?

When you require packaging that will enable you to transport or store all manner of goods without them sustaining a scratch, you might initially presume that your needs are relatively simple. In some cases, those needs may very much be simple. However, many of those who purchase protective packaging from ourselves here at Simpson Packaging have rather more complicated requirements, and the great news is that we can cater to them all.

Bubble wrap, for instance, is among the most obvious types of protective packaging, in part because it is simply so versatile, being a good option for almost any and every type of job. That’s why it’s so handy that we give our customers a vast choice of bubble wrap options, in widths ranging from 150mm to 2400mm. Heavy-duty, flame retardant, self-adhesive, UV resistant and even anti-static versions of our bubble wrap are all available.

Then, there are the other variations on the bubble wrap formula that we have in stock, and which further demonstrate its fundamental effectiveness at protecting even the most vulnerable items. Bonus Bubble, for example, can be bought from us in double-length 200-metre rolls, while if eco-friendliness is a particularly urgent priority, you may be thankful for our biodegradable bubble wrap, which can be safely deposited in landfill sites, in the knowledge that it will naturally degrade over time.

However, there are also many potentially invaluable forms of protective packaging that owe nothing to bubble wrap. Our single-faced corrugated paper rolls, for instance, are ideal as affordable general-purpose protective packaging, and are available in standard 75-metre-length rolls and widths ranging from 50mm to 2500mm. Polystyrene is similarly cost-effective and versatile, and can be ordered in sheets or to your own design in accordance with your exact needs.

We realise, however, that there may be many awkward corners and edges of certain items to which you need to provide a bit more vital protection during transit and storage. This explains our decision to also stock the likes of cardboard edge protectors, plastic corner protectors and even ‘UT’ profile foam corners – the latter perfect for tables, doors and panels alike. We can also supply three-point corner protectors in expanded polystyrene (EPS) or closed cell non-abrasive foam (PE).

The above are just a few of the protective packaging options that are on offer at the Simpson Packaging online store right now, and which should help to give you an idea of the sheer breadth of our expertise. Remember that we don’t just stock protective packaging! In fact, with our other highly-rated offerings encompassing cartons, paper products, news off-cuts, furniture covers and even padlocks, your furniture, removals or self-storage firm may barely need to look anywhere else for so many of its packaging and related essentials.
