Here are some important principles applicable for packing your shipment contents:
- Leave No Empty Space It is important to completely fill empty space within the box to avoid contents moving during transit which can cause damage to both contents and the box.
- 6 cm Distance Always place items being shipped in the center of the box with at least 6cm of separation from any external walls or corners.
- Wrap items Individually and Use Dividers When shipping multiple items in a single package, always wrap each item individually and separate with corrugated inserts or other divider materials as appropriate.
Both the adhesive tapes you choose and how you seal the shipment together makes a difference in protecting your shipment contents from being exposed or damaged during transit.
Use Pressure Sensitive Tape
- Polypropylene tape (brown plastic tape)
- Vinyl adhesive tape (electrical tape)
- Fiber-reinforced paper tape (duct tape)
Avoid Using
- Kraft Paper Tape
- Cellophane Tape
- String
Label Shipment
Fix the shipment label securely on the top surface of the shipment box.
