Packaging Guidelines

Learn how to properly package your items for safe delivery

Step-by-Step Packaging Guide

1

Choose the Right Box

Select a sturdy box that's slightly larger than your item. New boxes are recommended for maximum protection.

  • Use double-wall boxes for items over 20 lbs
  • Ensure all flaps are intact
  • Remove or cover old labels and markings
2

Wrap Items Individually

Protect each item separately before placing them in the box.

  • Use bubble wrap for fragile items
  • Wrap electronics in anti-static materials
  • Use plastic bags for liquids to prevent leaks
3

Add Cushioning

Fill empty spaces to prevent items from shifting during transit.

  • Use packing peanuts or air pillows
  • Add at least 2 inches of cushioning on all sides
  • Shake test the box to ensure items don't move
4

Seal Securely

Use proper tape and sealing methods to secure your package.

  • Use pressure-sensitive packing tape (2" wide)
  • Apply H-taping method for heavy packages
  • Do not use string or paper tape
