Common Mistakes Businesses Make When Packing with Book Wraps
Avoid these book wrap packing errors that cause damage, returns, and customer complaints.
Common mistakes
Quick answer
The three biggest mistakes are wrong size (too loose), incomplete sealing, and not tucking corners properly. The wrap should fit snugly with no rattling. Press the seal firmly along its entire length. Fold corner tabs neatly for maximum protection. Take 5 extra seconds per wrap to get these right and you will eliminate most packing-related damage.
How to fix them
Choose the wrap size closest to your book dimensions.
A partial seal will open during transit.
Untucked corners are the most vulnerable damage points.
A poorly packed wrap damages books, costing more than the time saved.
