Courier Packing Safety

Packing Requisites

Some quick tips to remember while sending goods via a courier company
  • Under-filled cartons face the risk of collapsing and overfilled cartons can burst
  • If possible, it would be good to wrap the material inside separately, as this will prevent items from getting smashed
  • Consider using polystyrene, or alternative as an additional cushioning device
  • Use a strong tape around the edges of the boxes, to prevent any kind of damage.If needed, use arrow-up labels
  • Pack things in specific transit cartons, that are double walled and robust
  • Parcels may be stacked one above the other, so the packaging should be strong enough to handle the pressure during transit.
  • Always choose a box that is bigger than the things that needs to be packed, to enable protective packaging inside the box

Precautions to be taken, if you are shipping delicate and fragile materials
  • Place them in the centre of the carton
  • Keep them away from coming in contact with the outside walls of the box
  • Surround them with adequate cushioning material
  • In case of more than one fragile item, like cups and saucers, cushion around each object, as well as keep cushioning around all of them
  • 'Fragile' and 'Handle with care' are clearly only for information
Precautions to be taken if you are shipping liquid items
  • Make sure they are kept in strong leak proof containers

  • Never rely on ‘Fragile’ or ‘Handle with care’ labels as a substitute for careful packaging.
  • Use a double wrapping of plastic film as a seal
  • Follow the packaging instructions as suggested for delicate and fragile items
  • Keep liquid items in separate cartons, dedicated just for them to avoid any leakage and damage to other materials Instructions to follow while writing the Address
  • In most cases, a properly formatted address, printed on your computer can be used on the package
  • Otherwise, it is also fine to write the full address and other information clearly on the outside of the package
  • Use large capital letters and black or dark blue ink
