Quality packaging is key when it comes to preventing damage. Assess your packaging needs to determine what's best for your shipment.


Things to consider when choosing packaging


Weight
  • Consider the strength and durability of the packaging box
  • An appropriate box should be able to securely hold the weight of what's inside
Size and Shape
  • Items should not touch the outer wall of the box
  • Odd-shaped or rounded packaging may need extra attention
Form of Contents
  • Special packaging materials and packing techniques are required for shipping liquids and powders
Value of Contents
  • Extra cushioning and protection may be required for high value goods
Fragility
  • Extra cushioning and protection are required for fragile items
  • Apply special handling label ("Fragile" stickers and tape)
Final Use
  • Does the box need to be retail ready? Do you want to avoid any markings on the box? If so, consider box-in-box packaging.
