2. Packaging advice
It is very important that you pack your item securely and sufficiently to
prevent it from getting damaged on its travels. If this should happen, you
would not be able to apply for compensation. Please read the following
carefully. Once you have packed your parcel, you can weight and measure it
and order delivery.

3. Choose the size of the package
according to its content.
Choose the size of the package according to its content. Under-filled
boxes are likely to collapse; overloaded ones may burst.

4. Use durable and double-walled
boxes
Use durable and double-walled boxes. Items will get stacked in
transit, therefore your packaging may need to support the
weight of other packages.
• Do not use bags made of fabric or cloth.

5. Use high quality materials
Use high quality materials. Consider strength, cushioning, and
durability when selecting your wrapping supplies. Choose boxes
made of corrugated cardboard, with good quality outer liners.
Use heavy-duty double-layered board for fragile items. When re-using
a box, remove all labels and stickers. Ensure that the box is
in good shape and not worn out.

6. Packaging of fragile items
Use cushioning materials, especially to stop your items from
moving. Cushioning your shipment on all sides helps to make
sure it arrives in good shape. Put fragile goods in the centre of a
package. The contents should never come into contact with the
outer packaging. Use cardboard dividers when sending flat,
fragile material (such as vinyl records). Use strapping or strong
tape to seal and secure your box.
• Do not over seal your package. All shipments can be opened by
customs authorities for inspection.
• Do not use cellophane tape or rope to seal your shipment.

7. Packaging of greasy or
strong – smelling substances
Seal greasy or strong-smelling substances with adhesive tape,
then wrap in grease resistant paper or put it into plastic bag.
Remember that bad packaging may cause damage to
surrounding items.

8. Packaging of powders and
fine grains
• Place powders and fine grains in strong plastic bags, securely
sealed and then packed in a rigid fiberboard box.

9. Arrow - up
Use "arrow-up" label for non-solid materials.
• Do not consider "Fragile" and "Handle with care" labels as a
substitute for careful packaging. They are only appropriate for
information purposes.

10. Gifts packing
Repack your gifts. Many goods sold in attractive packaging are
not suitable for shipping.

11. Packaging of rolled plans,
maps and blueprints
Use triangular tubes not round tube-type cylinders to pack rolled
plans, maps and blueprints. Use stretch film to prevent your
parcel from getting wet.

12. Packaging of data discs,
audio and video - tapes
Protect your data discs, audio and video-tapes with soft
cushioning material around each item.

13. Packaging items that have
sharp edges
When shipping items that have sharp edges and points, ensure
these are adequately protected. Heavy cardboard is suitable for
this. Fix the protective material securely so that it cannot be
accidentally removed in transit.

14. Other useful packaging tips
• Do not include any information indicating high value of
contents on the address label or outer package.
• Do not exceed the weight specification of the shipment
container.
• Do not attach multiple parcels together. All consignments will
have each individual box or parcel declared on the Booking in
order that the correct price and service can be provided to the
customer. Under no circumstances should multiple boxes be
attached together and sent as one parcel.
• Complete the address clearly and completely, using uppercase
letters when handwriting labels to improve readability for
courier personnel.
• Put an extra address label inside the package in case the one
you attached on top of the box comes off.
