PACKAGING
GUIDE TO PACKAGING
Correct packaging = a secure consignment!
Useful tips:
- Make sure the size of the packaging is suitable for the contents of the consignment to avoid damage.
- Use special material to avoid the contents moving around.
- ΧUse tape to seal the consignment.
- Fragile items should be placed in the middle of the packaging, so as for them to not come into contact with the sides of the packaging.
- Make sure that all liquids are in containers and sealed inside a plastic bag.
- Remember that unsuitable packaging can damage the rest of the goods in the consignment.
- Ensure that gifts are repackaged. Impressive packaging is not always the most suitable.
- Wrap small items in paper.
- Use a soft material to wrap around items such as disks, cassettes, and videocassettes.
- Write the recipient’s address in clear capital letters, ensuring that all necessary details are provided.
- Do not use the same box for a second consignment, but should this happen make sure the box is not damaged and remove all labels.
To be avoided:
- Labels marked “fragile” or “caution” simply give extra information and under no circumstances replace appropriate packaging.
- Remember that it is likely that any consignment will be subject to inspection by the authorities. For this reason, do not use an excessive amount of tape around the packaging.
- Do not use bags made of fabric or textiles.
