Here are some basics of good packing.


Step 1 - Assess

  • Consider the weight
  • Are the contents fragile?
  • What's the value of the content being shipped?

  • What are packing requirements based on transportation regulations?


Step 2 - Pack

  • Use quality double wall boxes
  • Ensure 6 cm distance between shipment content and all walls of the box
  • Leave no empty space in the box


Step 3 - Seal

  • Use packing tape at least 48 mm wide
  • Use the H-taping method to seal all edges and seams


Step 4 - Label

  • Write the name of the consignee, destination country, and postal code on the outside of the box in permanent marker.
  • Write the BOB ticket number on the outside of the box in permanent marker.
