Dear Doctor,

I run an online store specializing in custom-made walking sticks. Each stick is crafted with care and comes in various styles and lengths. My goal is to make walking sticks not just functional but fashionable accessories. I’m searching for a packaging solution that’s both practical and cost-effective. Ideally, it should be long and slim enough to accommodate the walking sticks while ensuring they don’t get damaged during shipping.

Thank you, Celine

Hi Celine,

Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you're doing something truly unique—custom walking sticks as fashion statements are a fantastic idea. While we do offer some narrow boxes, none seem perfectly suited to your specific requirements. However, I'd like to suggest an alternative: lay-flat tubing made from polythene. These rolls are incredibly durable, offering protection against moisture, dirt, and physical damage while maintaining a sleek appearance. Medium-duty polythene at 62.5 microns thickness should work well for your purposes. It’s strong, versatile, and available in a wide range of widths. I believe a width of 3 inches would fit your walking sticks beautifully. Plus, this option is typically more economical than traditional boxes.

With polythene tubing, you simply slide the walking stick inside so the tubing completely encloses it, trim it to the appropriate length, and seal both ends. This creates a tidy, professional-looking package. Since the tubing is lightweight and flexible, it’ll save money on shipping costs compared to bulky boxes. It takes up less space on trucks, making logistics easier and cheaper. To ensure a tight, secure seal, I recommend pairing the tubing with one of our polythene heat-sealing machines. This tool allows you to create fast, consistent, and reliable seals, guaranteeing your packages arrive intact and polished.

Best of luck with your business, and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. The Packaging Doctor is always here to help!
