Tips for internal protection

• Individual wrapping. Wrap each item individually, especially fragile ones, to ensure they are protected from bumps and drops.
• Adequate Filling. Fill empty spaces in boxes with loose fill or bubble wrap. This prevents products from shifting and getting damaged during transport.
• Cover edges and corners. Use corner protectors or additional material on the edges and corners of vulnerable items, such as glass or ceramics, to prevent damage.
• Strong adhesive tape. Use quality tape to ensure that all layers of protection stay in place. Make sure to seal all openings of the box.
• Clear labeling. Label boxes with clear information about their contents, handling instructions, and warnings to help minimize the risk of damage during transport.
