Why 15% Shipping Breakage is Not Normal

In the glassware industry, many wholesalers accept a 'standard' breakage rate of 10-15% as a cost of doing business. At Hestia, we view this as a failure of engineering.

The EPE-Shield™ Advantage

Hestia’s B2B shipments utilize EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) foam-encased packaging rather than simple cardboard dividers. This material provides superior vibration dampening and shock absorption, protecting the fragile rims and handles during rough maritime transit.

Reducing Total Landed Cost

By bringing arrival breakage down to under 0.5%, we effectively lower your real cost-per-unit. Don't pay for broken glass—invest in packaging that survives the journey.
