Safe packaging plays a direct role in reducing product damage during warehouse handling and transportation. Whether you're preparing pallets for outbound shipments or managing daily e-commerce orders, selecting the right materials helps protect your goods and keeps operations running efficiently. The following essentials are widely used across warehouses and provide a reliable foundation for secure, consistent packaging.

Use Air Pillow for Efficient Void Filling

Our air pillow offers a simple, dependable way to keep fragile items secure inside the box. The multi-chamber design maintains cushioning even if one section is compromised, and the film holds air well through normal handling and transport. They store flat to save space and inflate quickly when needed, making them a practical option for warehouses that pack glassware, electronics, or other items that can’t afford movement during transit.

Choose the Right Stretch Wrap for Pallet Stability

Stretch wrap is the standard for stabilizing pallet loads and protecting products during handling and transport. BIGSKU’s stretch films offer steady load retention, clear visibility, and reliable roll-to-roll consistency—qualities that matter when pallets move through busy warehouses or long-distance shipping routes.

Our films cling tightly without tearing easily, maintain tension throughout transit, and stretch efficiently to reduce material usage. Whether applied by hand or through automated wrapping equipment, they provide a clean, secure seal that keeps cartons in place and protects them from dust, moisture, and shifting.

 

Seal Packages Securely with Reliable Packing Tape

A dependable packing tape is essential for keeping cartons closed throughout packing and transport. BIGSKU’s packaging tape provides strong adhesion and clean application on most standard corrugated shipping boxes, including kraft cartons and regular e-commerce mailer boxes. It performs well under different temperatures and maintains a consistent hold, making it suitable for high-volume packing stations and daily warehouse workflows. The tape also works smoothly with all standard dispensers, allowing operators to apply it quickly without splitting or snagging.
Available in both transparent and tan finishes to match different packaging needs.

Use “Do Not Stack” Pallet Cones for Top-Load Protection

Loads that can’t take weight need a clear warning that won’t be missed. Lightweight cartons, uneven mixed loads, partially packed pallets, and high-value goods all require clear top-load restrictions. BIGSKU’s “Do Not Stack” cones provide the kind of raised, visible warning that flat labels often fail to deliver. The 3D structure stands above the load, catching a driver’s attention before the forks even approach. Made from sturdy corrugated cardboard, the cones hold their shape through normal warehouse handling and offer a simple, effective safeguard in busy operations.
