Wrap each item carefully in
bubble wrap
All shipments are unavoidably
subject to shocks during
transportation. Wrapping them
separately will ensure the items do
not cause damage to each other. |
 |
Using the right box
We recommend you use corrugated
boxes in good condition. You can
identify the strength of the box by
reviewing the box makers certificate
(BMC), which can be found on the
base of most shipping boxes. |
 |
Fill the base of the box with
cushioning materials
Cushioning your shipment on all
sides helps to make sure it arrives
in good shape. The contents should
never come into contact with the
outer packaging. |
 |
Create a double wall at the
bottom of the box
Insert a double corrugated card on
top of the loose fill to create a
double wall at the bottom of the
box. |
 |
Add further cushioning
Then add more loose fill on top of
the card in preparation for the
item. |
 |
Insert a double wall divider
This will prevent the contents
coming into contact with the outer
packaging on the sides of the box. |
 |
Surround the wrapped object
with cushioning
This will prevent the item from
moving during transportation. The
cushioning should be able to absorb
shock and vibrations. |
 |
Insert a card to create
another double wall on top
Place a firm card on top of the
cushioning material to make sure
everything stays in place. Allow
some room to place extra cushioning
on top. |
 |
Extra protection on top
Protect the upper side of your
package by filling up the remaining
space with more cushioning material. |
 |
Close the package carefully
Make sure the box is closed
carefully, so no cushioning material
can get out. Using a good quality,
rigid box with intact flaps is
advisable. |
 |
Close the box securely with
strong tape
Seal your package with
pressure-sensitive plastic tape or
water-activated paper tape,
preferably around 50mm in width. |
 |
Finishing touch
Do not use strings or cords: they
can get tangled up in automated
sorting equipment. Place your
address and shipping labels on the
top surface of the box, avoid
putting them on seams, closures or
on the sealing tape. |
