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

- 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

|
Fragility
|
- Extra cushioning and protection are required for fragile items
