Bubble bag storage tips

[Chinese Packaging Network News] Bubble bags play a crucial role in packaging, especially in protecting the contents from damage. However, to ensure their effectiveness and longevity, it's important to store and handle them properly. Here are some essential tips to help you maintain the quality of your bubble bags:

First, store bubble bags in a dry, cool warehouse away from direct sunlight and rain. Avoid contact with oils, solvents, or any organic substances that could degrade the material. Keep the storage area clean and maintain a temperature between -15°C and 40°C. Also, keep the bubble bags at least 1 meter away from heat sources.

Second, when storing for long periods, roll the bubble bags instead of folding them. This helps prevent creases and maintains the structural integrity of the material. If stored for an extended time, rotate the rolls every three months to avoid permanent deformation.

Third, when loading or unloading, use a crane or lifting equipment with a beam to ensure smooth handling. Avoid sudden movements that could damage the edges of the bubble bag, as this can compromise its protective function.

Fourth, never connect bubble bags of different types, sizes, strength levels, or fabric layers together. Doing so can lead to uneven stress distribution and reduce the overall performance of the system.

Fifth, for conveyor belts, it’s recommended to use hot vulcanized joints rather than mechanical fasteners. This method ensures stronger and more reliable connections, maintaining high tensile strength over time. Additionally, make sure the diameter of the roller and pulley complies with industry standards to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Lastly, cleanliness is key. Any foreign particles on the belt can cause misalignment, uneven tension, or even breakage. Regular cleaning and maintenance will significantly extend the life of your bubble bags and ensure smooth operation.
