Packaging Guide
Packaging is the process of wrapping and securing your products for shipping. Proper packaging ensures your items arrive at their destination in perfect condition, minimizing damage during transit. In this guide, we provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to pack safely and efficiently.
Items
Verify weight and dimensions
Avoid unpleasant surprises by verifying your package's weight and dimensions. This not only ensures you meet shipping requirements but also helps you accurately calculate shipping costs, preventing unexpected extra charges.

Choose the right packaging
Selecting the right packaging is essential. It should be strong enough to protect your items during shipping and fit your items without leaving empty spaces that can cause movement. Good packaging acts as the first line of defense against potential damage during transit.

Protect your contents
Use protective materials like bubble wrap, kraft paper, or foam to wrap your items. This ensures they are protected from bumps and vibrations, preventing damage that could be costly and harmful to your reputation.

Fill gaps or empty spaces
Don't let your items shift inside the box. Use filler materials like crumpled paper, foam, or packing peanuts to fill any empty spaces. This prevents products from moving during transit and reduces the risk of damage.

Secure sealing
Ensure your package is securely sealed. Use strong packing tape to close all box openings, making sure it won’t open during transit. Good sealing also prevents moisture or contaminants from entering.

Place the label
The label is the package's identity. It must be clear and legible, indicating the recipient's address and any special instructions. Place the label in a visible spot to ensure the package is handled correctly and reaches its destination smoothly.

Add special labels
Fragile items require special handling. Make sure to place "Fragile" labels on packages containing such items to alert handlers of the need for extra care during transit.
