14 Best Shipping For Fragile Items (2023 Updated)

These are a bit flimsy for the price. Too weak for a full stack of 8 dinner plates, I fear– let alone 4 small pieces in the corners. If you lift the box while you’re filling it, do so with box hands under the bottom — never by the open flaps on top as I did.

(It didn’t destroy the box, but it clued me into its weakness before I had a chance to break anything. Beware!) Probably okay to hold up to about 12 lbs [medium 18x14x12 20 ct] if you lift from underneath.

Still, much thinner cardboard than I’d expected.

The boxes themselves are fine as they are as described. The problem was they were shipped without any sort of packaging. The boxes were simply bound together without any protective covering/packaging.

They arrived filthy!! The edges are bent and torn and disgustingly dirty. Due to the lack of protective covering/packaging for shipping I do not recommend.

Since I wasn’t able to purchase these while shopping (non-essential) I decided to buy it online and have it shipped to my house. I purchased many of the smaller sized boxes from Walmart so this time I decided to buy the medium sized ones.

Great items. I am almost packed up to move to another state. Buy buy buy!.

This is the second package of “Fragile Handle with Care” labels I have purchased. The bright colors and large label size easily identify boxes I mail as fragile. The labels peel off easily and stick well to my boxes.

Use these on packages that are fragile – love the brightness as there is no way a shipper can miss it and toss the package. They could use a bit more adhesive, but taping them down on the box secures it.

Would recommend.

The Good: Easy to apply. Bright colors. The bad: Too pricey for the # in pckg (I think it’s 40 but left remaining ones in storage unit so not 100% sure. ) They cost @$12 before any discounts. Smaller than all previous FRAGILE labels I’ve purchased (and ran out of).

I wasn’t sure when ordering these labels whether or not they would be what I wanted. But they are perfect. Big and bright! I especially like the “Thank You” printed on these as it ads a nice touch. I do a lot of shipping and many of the items I ship are fragile.

These labels make the look good on the packages and are easily seen so anyone handling the package will be aware that the contents are fragile. We have not had any reports of damage to our shipped products since implementing the use of these labels.

We ship products for our business and the majority of the business is small packages. These labels are the perfect size.

I’ve moved way more times than I should have and these are the best labels I’ve gotten. They are large, easy to peel and, best of all, they really stick and don’t need to be taped.

I ship a lot of large items in big packages that are fragile. These are very large Fragile ladies with bold red and white graphic design to catch the eye.

Very pleased with these labels. They stick very well, are an excellent size and the large print are easy to see on the packages.

Good size stickers, good quantity. When boxing up items that require extra care, I slap one of these on every side plus the top of the container. Reasonable price for what you get.

This red and white “Fragile – Handle With Care” sticker is outstanding. The price is also very reasonable. Anyone who crushes you package once these are placed on it are idiots. Thank You, Staples.

The “Fragile Handle With Care” self-stick labels are great for shipping packages. The red label is bright and attention-getting in style, and, as a seller on ebay, I use them often. Would definitely recommend!.

What a bargain! A HUGE roll of FRAGILE stickers! I ship mainly glass and use a fragile sticker for each of the six sides of the box. Delivered super quick, nice size, and great quality! Will definitely be back!! A++!.

WOW!!!!! Holy moly. what an amazing deal for a GREAT product!!!! I seriously can’t believe how big (amount of stickers) the roll is!! I sell alot of my items and products online, and when I take a fragile item to the post office they stamp it really hardwith this super old school stamp that doesn’t even work.

I am now putting this on all my packages!! \n\nThis seller is suuuper awesome with amazing shipping products!! I will definitely be buying my mailing products from her from now on! =).

Awesome product!!! I recommend!! Fast shipping!! Perfect for my business – now I don’t have to constantly write Fragile on my boxes any longer!!

Exactly what I was looking for. Had some vintage items to break that I was shipping. I was told to put FRAGILE stickers on the package to prevent this in the future. Nice & big. Shouldn’t be missed by the carrier.

These come in handy for my business at least a couple times a month. They are larger than the post office stickers and are very bright as well. Recommended for regular shippers.

Bought these in place of the ones that ran out and i like these even better. They stand out great as needed and the size is perfect for visibility.

I pack my own shipments, so I may not be as practiced at packing as someone who does it full time. That being said, I find this label tape hard to handle. I don’t use a dispenser, but I don’t think that would help much.

The tape frequently starts to tear longitudinally, down the center. I find that I waste a lot of time (and tape) ripping the roll back to normal. Fragile marking is important on many of my shipments (if for no other reason that to alert the UPS package handlers to throw these packages instead of using the conveyor belt.

) The look of the label is visibly very good. It is not perfectly opaque, but does cover used box markings reasonably well in addition to alerting handlers. I’ll buy thicker tape next time.

excellent tape. I recommend it if you are moving and have help moving and need to alert movers to be careful, this is a must to help keep breakable items safe. It is also a very cost effective way to pack your breakables.

The message appears very clear. This is very important when you are transporting delicate, fragile items that you want to protect and arrive safely to their destination. Also, the fact that the tape is wide gives the box good coverage so you can seal it properly without “mummifing” it.

Would recommend.

Do not buy. The mailers are thin and the glue looks good but when you close it and do a open test it opens right up. The glue sticks when you close but it doesnt stick to the default side making it useless.

With little effort I was able to open it with ease. I would say if your package less than 4 oz you be fine. Anything heavier it will come apart. The worse part is this item is ineligible for returns.

These seem to be fine for what they are, which is “kraft” (i. e. paper) bubble mailers. They are not polymailers, which is what I thought I ordered. Don’t make the same mistake. If you want polymailers, look elsewhere.

Now what am I going to do with 100 of these things.

I love how the plastic can stretch around whatever you put inside it, and you can pull it tight around an item without it tearing or ripping like a paper bubble envelope would do. It’s also lighter than a paper bubble mailer, saving you postage costs.

The self adhesive strip works great. Very sticky to the plastic poly envelope and holds firmly! Not like the glue strip on the paper bubble mailers that doesn’t stick very well. In fact, whenever I use the paper bubble mailers to mail products, I always have to waste my time and money (for the tape), adding at least 2 more pieces of packaging tape around the edges to hold it tight.

And when I’m shipping about 10 items per day every day, at the end of the month, that really adds up! When you seal these, you know it’ll hold and not accidentally come apart during transit. My only complaint (or request) would be, I wish these came in a cheaper 500 pack case and/or a 1000 pack case.

Had Staples not asked, I would never have submitted this review. However. I’m confident that you, as do I, dream of the Platonic Ideal of a bubble mailer. Of size, stiffness, bubble density, what have you.

Well, this particular bubble mailer comes as close to that Ideal as I could ever have reasonably hoped. Wow! Having purchased the 9″ x 12″ version and used it successfully, I purchased the largest size which I understand is suitable for shipping small dogs via the post.

Should I have the opportunity to do so, I’ll update this post.

I stuck two thin hardback books in one of these and took to the post office for mailing. I was randomly selected to have my package opened and checked for contents, then resealed if it did, indeed, contain what I said it did —- books.

Staff behind the counter had a helluva time trying to open it “nicely”, without damage to that part of the envelope. And that proved impossible due to the strength of the seal. They did get it open but had to use a lot of tape to fix what their necessary force had done.

So: very strong seal.

The closure could be improved. The outer corners stick up, making it easy for someone to open that envelope. We use packing tape to hold the closure securely. This took extra time. Hope it can be fixed.

Otherwise, glad that they were in stock!.

I just received this product for review in the mail and it couldn’t have came at a better time. I was able to use it to pack up fragile breakables for our yard sale. I was able to stack breakables on top of each other without worrying about anything getting broken.

These bubble pouches are the shiznit I love this product and will definitely buy some for my home and I have already told a few friends and family members about them and they too are going to purchase some a few friends will be to help in packing fragile heirlooms in their move to another home.

I got this product to help with my move. I have used bubble packaging in prior moves, but the Duck brand bubble pouches made the packing so much easier! The pouches were large enough to fit framed photos, dishes and other fragile items.

Saved me a bunch of time and taping. Love this and will use it for all of my shipping and packaging needs! Thank you for such an innovative product!.
