Packaging for Glassware & Fragile Goods
Glass, ceramics, scientific instruments, and fragile decorative goods require packaging engineered around drop-test data and cushion curves - not guesswork foam thickness.
Packaging Challenges
What makes packaging for this industry uniquely demanding.
High Fragility Rating
Glass and ceramics have extremely low G-force thresholds - even moderate drops cause breakage.
Irregular Shapes
Glassware, sculptures, and ceramics have complex geometries requiring custom foam conformance.
Surface Preservation
Decorative glass and finished ceramics cannot be contacted by hard materials without marring the surface.
E-Commerce Drop Standards
Fragile goods shipped via parcel face the most demanding drop environment - packaging must be designed for it.
APG Solutions for Glassware & Fragile Goods
Specific packaging systems we engineer and fabricate for this industry.
Cushion Curve Foam Design
Foam thickness and density selected mathematically to keep G-force below glass fragility thresholds.
PU Foam Surface Contact
Soft open-cell foam providing non-marring surface contact on finished decorative glass.
EPS High-Impact Inserts
Lightweight EPS foam absorbing first-impact energy for single-trip parcel shipments.
Corrugated Cell Dividers
Slotted corrugated partition sets separating individual glass items in multi-pack shippers.
Custom Form-Fitting Pockets
CNC-cut foam pockets that match the exact profile of each glass or ceramic piece.
Double-Box Systems
Inner foam-cushioned box inside an outer corrugated shipper for maximum drop protection.
