Packing parcels correctly

Stable outer packaging

• New cardboard made from high-quality, moisture-resistant, at least double-wall card provides the best protection for your parcel.
• For the cardboard box to be sufficiently large, it must provide enough space for the goods and the internal padding.
• Be aware of corner, surface and edge protection when packing the parcel.
• Only reuse boxes for non-fragile goods.

Close securely

Robust fastening is essential for safe transportation.

• Wrap the parcel with strong adhesive tape and securely fasten all sides.
• The heavier or bigger the parcel, the stronger the parcel tape needs to be.

Suitable interior padding

• Completely fill any gaps on the inside of the parcel with padding material. Ensure the goods in the parcel cannot move.
• Match the padding material precisely to the goods being sent. Fitted styrofoam pieces are recommended for heavy and fragile goods. Light items can be packed in bubble wrap.
• There should be no direct contact between the goods and the external packaging of the parcel.

Easily legible packing slips

• Always attach the shipping label to the biggest side of the parcel.
• Remove old sending or return labels.
• Once correctly packed, send the parcels individually – not as bundles. Each parcel should receive its own parcel label.
