How Do You Package a Book

Wrap each book individually in clean tissue paper or bubble wrap. Secure all sides with tape, ensuring no tape is placed on the surface of the book. Wrapped books can be packed in a proportionate box, ensuring that all gaps are filled with extra bubble wrap or crumpled paper.

What is the best packaging for a book?

If books aren’t packaged up securely, they are susceptible to damage or getting torn. Corrugated cardboard is one of the most popular choices for mail packaging and for a good reason! Its two barrier design is extremely secure, keeping any fragile items protected during long periods of shipping and handling.

Can I ship a book in a padded envelope?

Padded envelopes/bubble mailers are fine to ship 2-3 books in. Don’t worry about denting, but if it stresses you out, double package them—you’ll still save money. Avoid flat rate boxes if at all possible. They’re often overpriced and should be used for fragile items only.
