Crafty1_AJ Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 How do you package them? Do you bubble wrap the jars individually? Use corrugated wrap? How do you fill the void? Peanuts? Air pillows? Wadded paper? Etc. Just trying to find out how everyone gets those glass babies to their destinations crack and breakage free. LOLTIA!

MichelleOH Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I normally keep the box the candle jars came in, then I use that to put the filled candles in. I then place that box inside another with peanut around the perimeters. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The jars I have are awful...the separators in the box are thin cardboard, so it doesn't make nice for a case of candles to go somewhere.I had to wrap each jar with bubble wrap. PITA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I wrap mine up in 1/8" foam sheets and pack them in peanuts, no breakage so far. I have some good bubble wrap, but prefer the foam sheets, they take up less space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleOH Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 What if you are only shipping a few jars instead of a case of jars?Well, lots and lots of bubble wrap and peanuts! The foam sheets are really nice if you have them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrealh1975 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I wrap mine in bubble wrap and pack w/ peanuts if I'm shipping to a customer and make sure fragile is stamped ALL over it. (Not that some PO employees pay attention, but anyway!)If I'm taking jars to a show I just pack them in the boxes they came in. I buy my flower pots in 24pack cases from AC Moore and I can pack those back in the boxes w/ tops on them w/ no problem.Haven't had any problems. ***Knock on wood*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Bubble wrap each container, fix it with tape and do peanuts in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 We ship a lot of 11 oz tureens. We buy the little 4x4 sq box and put the candle in that first and then pack in bigger box with the rest of order. I think they cost 12 cents and it is worth it.

prairieannie Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I too keep the boxes my jars come in. When we ship by the case, we use pallet wrap around each box, this keeps the jars from moving AT ALL. They stay nice and still. For my bigger stores We can ship 4 cases per large box, all pallet wrapped and use peanuts to fill the spaces. You have to wrap each case of candles pretty well, but you'll know when enough is enough.. they become immobile! HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTHLet me see if I heard this correctly, You are wrapping the the boxes (inside of the larger box) with the pallet wrap? I have never thought of doing this, and I have been shipping lots of jars lately!Thanks for the idea, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
