What is the best way to ship jars of BBQ Sauce w/o breaking?

Answer 1

Here's How:

1. Have an area with packing supplies of crumpled newspaper, bubble wrap, stryofoam peanuts, plain paper, packing tape, masking tape, cardboard egg cartons, foam, sharpie and boxes.
2. If you are sending a jar or vase, fill with peanuts, foam or tightly wadded paper.
3. Wrap jar first in plain paper if some of it is cold painted (to avoid ripping paint off with bubble wrap). Never use newspaper as ink could stain the jar.
4. Wrap lid and base separately in bubble wrap and use masking tape to secure bubble wrap. It's cheaper and much easier for the recipient to remove. This is especially important if the breakable has tiny parts or is extra fragile -- e.g. blown glass. 5. Put each piece into a separate small box or if that is not feasible, use pieces of cardboard to create a "box-like" enclosure.
6. Fill space around piece with tightly crumpled newspaper or peanuts and seal with masking tape.
7. Put both small boxes into larger box, fill empty space around boxes with more packing, such as crumpled newspapers, cardboard (clean!) egg cartons, styrofoam pieces, peanuts, etc.
8. Other items that can be used for cushioning include 2 liter plastic bottles (washed and cleaned) for stability and styrofoam egg cartons cushioning the top or bottom of box. Rigid styrofoam can also be wedged in for protection.
9. Put card with recipient's address inside box -- although the address on the outside most likely will not be destroyed, you never know.
10. Seal large box with heavy duty wrapping tape.
11. Use black marker to put address on box, also mark fragile, this way up if applicable.

Tips:

1. Don't use flimsy boxes.
2. Never use stryofoam peanuts by themselves without inner boxes or lots of bubble wrap, they shift too much.
3. Don't even think of sending a jar or other breakables without protecting yourself and the seller with insurance.
4. If you are using boxes from an outlet store's extra inventory -- be sure that it is not marked as something that cannot be shipped. E.g. flammables. Even if the item inside is completely different, this can cause problems, take it from one who has experience with this.

Bbq Sauce Jars

Answer 3

Put the jar in a ziplock bag just incase it does break, to protect the other items you are mailing. Wrapping in clothes or towels helps, too.

Answer 4

Packing peanuts or wadded up pieces of newspaper. Center the jar in the box and pack all around it.

Answer 5

Wrap them individually in bubble wrap then put them in a box filled with styrofoam peanuts.
