Fragile labels
Fragile labels flag parcels that need careful handling in transit — a low-cost prompt to couriers and sorters handling breakables like glass, ceramics and electronics. Bright, clear warning labels on the roll are quick to apply at the packing bench.
Be realistic about what they do: a label is a nudge, not a guarantee. The protection that actually prevents damage is inside the box — cushioning around the item and void fill so it can't move. Use labels to reinforce good packing, not replace it.

How to use fragile labels well
- Apply to the top and at least one side so it's visible however the parcel sits
- Add a 'this way up' label where orientation matters
- Don't rely on labels alone — cushion and fill the box first
- Keep them clear of the shipping label and barcode
What actually reduces breakages
Damage is almost always caused by movement or an under-protected item — not a missing label. Get the packing right and the label becomes a useful extra, not your main defence.
- Wrap the item in bubble wrap or foam
- Fill every gap over ~3cm with void fill
- Right-size the box so contents can't shift
- Use a double-wall box for heavy or very fragile goods

Common buyer questions
What is the best void fill for fragile items?
Pair cushioning (bubble wrap) around the item with void fill (kraft paper or air cushions) to stop movement. Fill any gap larger than about 3cm.
What packaging do I need for ecommerce orders?
A box or mailing bag sized to the product, void fill or bubble wrap so nothing moves, plus tape and a courier label. Right-sizing keeps postage and damage down.
What's the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer labels?
Direct thermal prints with heat alone (no ribbon) and can fade; thermal transfer uses a ribbon for a durable, long-lasting print.
Can you supply plastic-free packaging?
Yes — paper mailers, kraft void fill, paper gummed tape and compostable food packaging. We keep eco claims specific and accurate.
