5 Common Misconceptions In Packaging Supplies

Need Packaging Supplies? Let’s Bust Some Myths

Packaging misconceptions — cleared up!

Myth #1: Corrugated cardboard is cheaper than bubblewrap.

Not anymore. Today, bubblewrap typically costs about 30% less per square meter and offers better protection and moisture resistance.

Myth #2: Polyfoam isn’t worth the extra cost.

Actually, polyfoam is a superior choice when it comes to cushioning and avoiding marks on delicate surfaces. It keeps its shape better than bubblewrap, reducing damage and costly rework.

Myth #3: Twin wall cartons always offer the best heavy-duty protection.

Twin wall boxes are tough, but modern materials like Xitex can give you better durability and value. Need protection from forklifts? Ask us for expert advice — sometimes neither option will help.

Myth #4: Printed cartons are essential for brand promotion.

They do add value, but if you’re unsure of product demand or need many sizes, printed packaging tape might be a smarter, flexible, and budget-friendly alternative.

Myth #5: Lowest unit price means lowest cost.

Beware of hidden delivery fees and volume charges that can push your costs way up. Always review the total cost before committing.
