Proper Packaging for safe delivery
Protect the contents of parcels from bumps, vibrations, and pressure by packing them properly. Here’s what you need to know about packaging.
Do as follows:
- Pack items in soft, shock-absorbent material that protects in all directions.
- Use hard outer packaging to shield against pressure.
- Consider the fragility, weight, and shape of the item.
- Protect protruding parts.
- If you are sending several items in the same packaging, ensure they are all properly packed to prevent damage to each other. They may need to be separated by partitions.
- Fill the transport packaging with shock-absorbent material, otherwise it may be compressed if it is underneath heavier goods.
- Mount small and heavy items on a larger board so that they are fixed in the packaging and do not damage the packaging from the inside.
- Items with adjustable joints or wheels should be appropriately locked so that they do not move during transportation.
- Use Proper Packaging Tape.
- Cross-tape the top and bottom.
- Use the smallest possible packaging, considering the fragility of the contents, to minimize unnecessary air space.
