The Surgery Is Now Open

Good Afternoon Doctor,

I work for a small cable company that supplies cables, wiring, and piping. We have steel pipes that we need to transport in vans with dimensions of 24x16x12 inches. Our main goal is to get a snug fit so the pipes don’t move around too much during transit. I really want to avoid using void fill because it's time-consuming, and I’ll be packing everything on my own. I’m not too concerned about heavy protection since the pipes are pretty sturdy, but I just need them to be inside something to keep them dry and clean.

Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,

It sounds like your business is small-scale, so you’re looking for a practical and efficient packaging solution that’s readily available without the need for custom-made options. After checking our stock range, the closest box size I found is 24x18x18 inches, which might be a bit too big for your pipes. Since you want to avoid void fill, I’d recommend using a grey polythene mailing bag instead. These are durable, lightweight, and perfect for keeping your pipes protected from moisture and dirt.

For your pipe size, I’d suggest either a 550x750mm or 700x850mm bag. Both will fit snugly and allow enough space for the depth of the product. This option will save you time, reduce waste, and help maximize the space in your van, making your shipping process more cost-effective.

Let me know how this works out for you — I’d love to hear your feedback. Best of luck, The Packaging Doctor
