Specifics of the furniture industry

In the furniture industry, packing can be quite a challenge – as products are often large in size (sofas, closets, armchairs, etc.). In addition, it is not uncommon for a single company to produce a very diverse assortment that requires a completely different approach to packaging especially when the surface of individual products is delicate like lacquered fronts or leather upholstery.

Our team has been working with manufacturers and distributors of furniture of all sizes and shapes – from chairs to large lounge sets – for more than a dozen years. This experience means that, in addition to selling packaging, we advise on how the packaging system can be optimized to maintain the same quality of the process while reducing its cost and/or time.

Among our clients are:

Bubble (bubble) foil for the furniture industry

Bubble wrap is suitable for protecting virtually any type of furniture – upholstered, lounge, garden furniture. Our customers choose the type of wrap depending on the value of the goods to be shipped, the method of sale, transshipment points and the length of the route to the final recipient.

So the following hints should be taken as a guideline, while you should talk to our consultant about choosing the best solution for your needs.

has two light layers and great adhesion. Perfect for protecting delicate items such as furniture components.

double-layer film with increased weight. It will protect products of medium size and weight well.

three-layer film. The extra layer ensures that the bubbles do not flatten under pressure, so it can be successfully used for packing heavier furniture.

airtight, tear-resistant film – perfect for packing products with sharp edges.

is a combination of PE foam and bubble wrap, polyethylene, HDPE or aluminium. This is the best protection, which among our customers is often used instead of the two layers previously used – HDPE film and corrugated cardboard. This allows for good protection and cost savings, as well as reducing the storage space used for material storage.

Bubble (bubble) film in various formats for the furniture industry

Bubble wrap rolls are a very popular product. Increasingly, however, our customers are opting for confectioning, a form of film that makes packaging easier and faster and reduces costs.

You can order from us:

This is a very handy form of material that eliminates the need for cutting. In addition, its edges then look very neat.

Dimensions	Min	Max
Width	150 mm	1250 mm
Length	150 mm	3000 mm

With or without glue – we deliver them in rolls for easy storage. The perforation makes it easy to tear off.

The available dimensions depend on the thickness of the bubble wrap.

Speed up packaging by allowing the product to be inserted from the side and top before the desired length is cut from the roll.

The possible dimensions depend on the thickness of the film.

Dimensions	Min	Max
Width	80 mm	1650 mm
Length	25 m	100 m

Improve packaging by allowing the item to be inserted into the sleeve from one side, before cutting off the correct length.

The possible dimensions depend on the thickness of the film.

Dimensions	Min	Max
Width	80 mm	1600 mm

PE polyethylene foam for the furniture industry

Bubble wrap on a roll is a very popular product. However, more and more of our customers are opting for confectioning, i.e. film in a form that makes packaging easier and faster and reduces costs.

You can order from us:

is perfect for protecting all kinds of furniture. This is because it is waterproof, lightweight, flexible and shock-absorbing.

Do you package products of similar dimensions?

Get PE foam in a mold to speed up the packaging process and optimize the amount of material workers take:

Speeds up the packaging process and optimizes the amount of material taken by workers.

Dimensions	Min	Max

Lenght	250 mm	no restrictions

Make it easier to interleave individual flat elements, protecting them from scratches. They are great for under goods stacked on a pallet to stop water and moisture getting into the products from underneath. We send them to customers as collective packages.

Dimensions	Min	Max
Width	150 mm	1250 mm
Lenght	150 mm	3000 mm

(with or without adhesive strip) – a practical way to quickly pack small parts like handles, handles, legs or self-assembly kits. These make sure that they do not scratch other parts of the furniture in the package. The glue layer accelerates the closing.

Packing furniture requires considering many factors:

Reach for PE foam in a mould to speed up the packaging process and optimise the amount of material taken up by workers:

Easy adaptation of packaging to different shapes and sizes

It is worth considering, after analysing the packaging system and used materials, which format of PE foam, PE film or bubble wrap will make the packing of your products faster. You may find that instead of foam rolls, sheets or pouches will be more efﬁcient in your business.

Protection against scratches and dents

Cardboard can dust, so it’s advisable to check whether PE foam, for example, would be a better solution for packing lacquered furniture.

Laminate of PE foam and bubble wrap or 3-layer bubble wrap (smooth film – bubble – smooth film) – protection from damage and no imprinted bubbles on upholstery

Polyethylene foam (instead of cardboard) – this protects painted surfaces, without the dust that can occur when packing with cardboard

Reducing the quantity of various items in stock

You can order packaging materials more often, but in smaller quantities (although the size of your order affects the final price – the more you order, the higher discount you can count on). You can also rethink your packaging system and try to reduce the quantity of items used (such as the number of layers).

Reduced packing time and increased warehouseman productivity

How you organise the subsequent steps of the packaging system and what form of packaging materials you use will have a noticeable effect on the efficiency of the process. We know the furniture industry inside out – if you need a fresh perspective on the subject – please do not hesitate to contact us.

The use of environmentally friendly materials

Given the multi-layered nature of the packaging system in the furniture industry, it is worth analysing whether the materials used are homogeneous in terms of recycling and whether these layers can be reduced in your case, without sacrificing packaging quality.

In addition, you can minimize waste (to be disposed of later) by ordering products made to size and/or in a form that suits your needs, e.g. PE foam rolls, bubble wrap bags, PE film half-sleeves.
