The Scuffing Problem: Protecting Glassware During Shipping

Causes of Scuffing

Vibration during transport causes glass-on-glass contact, leading to permanent scuff marks. This is a major headache for B2B logistics.

Packaging Innovations

Using soft-touch dividers and individual sleeve protection can eliminate scuffing. We discuss the cost vs. benefit of different packaging materials.

Surface Treatments

Some manufacturers apply a thin, food-safe lubricating film to the glass surface to reduce friction and scuffing during transit.
