How To Effectively Use Bubble Wrap in Your Container Storage in London
It might sound crazy but there are definitely right and wrong ways to use bubble wrap when placing belongings in container storage in London. With so many ways to use this packaging material correctly, the Store That team thought we’d give you a helping hand by giving you some tips!
Don’t Wrap Heavy Items
Bubble wrap is a wonderful invention, but it’s not suitable for everything! This packaging miracle works because of the small pockets, or bubbles, of air. These act as a cushion for your item; if those bubbles burst or get crushed, the thing that makes your bubble wrap so useful, disappears. When storing items in your container storage in London, be sure to use your bubble wrap to wrap smaller and lighter things such as glass items or paintings.
Do Get the Correct Size Bubble Wrap
When it comes to bubble wrap, size matters. There are so many different types of this packaging you can buy, some with larger or smaller bubbles. The smaller bubbles are easier to pop and so will be more suited to lighter items. Bubble wrap with smaller bubbles is also easier to store as it takes up less space. The larger bubbles are more resistant and should be used for items you are worried about breaking.
Don’t Pack with The Bubbles Out
Although there isn’t technically a correct way to do it, Store That recommend wrapping your items with the bubbles facing inwards. This will provide multiple points of contact with the item and distribute the pressure and impact. It will also mean there is less chance of any bubbles popping as you move things into your container storage in London.
Do Keep Your Bubble Wrap for The Future
Any leftover bubble wrap you have from storing your belongings in Store That’s container storage in Londoncan be used around the house. Some of the uses may surprise you! With February continuing to bring the cold weather, why not use bubble wrap to defrost your car? Place a large piece of bubble wrap on the windscreen of your car before you go to bed and then remove it in the morning for a frost free car. It can also be used to insulate your plants in the cold weather. Place a layer of bubble wrap around your plant pots to ensure they don’t get ruined by decreasing temperatures.
