Packaging Tips

choose the right packAGING

Box size: Use a box that’s slightly larger than your item, leaving room for padding to protect it.
Material: Use a sturdy cardboard box. Double-walled boxes are ideal for heavier or fragile items.
Avoid used boxes: They may have weak spots and could collapse during transit.

Protect the item inside

Bubble wrap: Wrap fragile items thoroughly. Multiple layers are better for delicate objects.
Foam or padding: Use foam, packing peanuts, or air cushions to fill empty spaces in the box, preventing movement.
Separate items: If sending multiple items, wrap and separate them to avoid collisions.

Seal Package Securely

Use strong tape: Reinforce all edges and seams of the box with heavy-duty packing tape.
H-shape seal: Apply tape across the box’s flaps and along the edges for added durability.

Label Package Clearly

Print the label: Ensure the recipient’s details and return address are visible and correct.
Fragile markings: Add “FRAGILE” or “HANDLE WITH CARE” if necessary, but still package as though it could be dropped.
Orientation arrows: For items like liquids, mark “THIS SIDE UP” where appropriate.

Special consideRATION

Liquids: Seal liquids in waterproof bags to prevent leaks.
Documents: Use flat, rigid envelopes or cardboard mailers to avoid bending.
Electronics: Remove batteries (if required by regulations) and wrap cords separately.
Perishables: Use insulated boxes or cold packs for food or temperature-sensitive items.

TEST your package

Give the package a light shake. If anything moves inside, add more padding
