You've ordered that Funko POP online you've been wanting so much to add to your collection. After days of anticipation, the package finally arrives and you excitedly open it up. Only to find the box has been dented or crushed on its way to you. The frustration and disappointment is terrible.
Almost always when this happens it's due to poor packaging for shipping. At Supportive Solutions we believe there is no need for this - with careful packing and a little expense on quality packaging goods, damage in transit can almost always be avoided. So we thought we'd show you our typical packaging method for a Funko POP.
First we take a new, sturdy, thick-walled mailing box of just the right size (a little bigger than the Funko POP). We've tried many different types of box and found this one to be pretty much perfect.
Next we insert the POP into a bubble wrap pocket. Once again, the perfect size is very important.
With the right size bubble pocket, the excess bubble wrap should neatly fill the vacant gaps between the wrapped POP and the mailing box.
The aim here is to stop the POP from rattling around inside the mailing box, but not to fit so tightly that every little pressure on the outside of the mailing box gets passed on to the POP box inside, possibly causing damage.
Then its time to close up the mailing box. Shipping label on top, taped up tight, and we're ready to go. Snug as a bug in a rug and ready to make its way safely to your door.
For orders of multiple POPs or other fragile items we use similar methods, with various correctly sized boxes and the right amount of protection between the mailing box and the contents. It's important to us to get your goods to you safely, because it's important to you. Check out our feedback on eBay - we're very proud to see numerous buyers who specifically mention our great packing.
