Improves the likelihood of timely and safe delivery.
📦 Top 7 Packaging Tips to Avoid Parcel Damage
1️⃣ Choose the Right Box or Envelope
Use sturdy, corrugated cardboard boxes for heavy or fragile items.
For small items, bubble mailers or padded envelopes provide adequate protection.
Ensure boxes are not worn out or previously damaged.
2️⃣ Use Adequate Cushioning
Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap, foam sheets, or air pillows.
Fill empty spaces with packing peanuts, crumpled paper, or foam inserts to prevent movement.
Layer multiple items separately if shipping multiple products.
3️⃣ Seal Boxes Securely
Use high-quality packing tape on all seams and edges.
Avoid thin tapes or masking tape, as they may split during handling.
Reinforce corners and vulnerable spots with extra tape.
4️⃣ Label Fragile Items Clearly
Mark boxes as “Fragile,” “Handle with Care,” or “This Side Up”.
Proper labeling helps courier staff handle parcels cautiously.
Include recipient and sender information clearly on the box.
5️⃣ Avoid Overpacking or Underpacking
Overstuffed boxes may burst, while underfilled boxes allow items to move freely and get damaged.
Ensure the parcel is snug but not tight, with cushioning filling all gaps.
6️⃣ Protect Against Moisture & Temperature
Use waterproof packaging or plastic wraps for items sensitive to moisture.
Avoid shipping perishable or heat-sensitive items without proper packaging.
