Whether you’re sending a product or a homemade item, you want to make sure it gets where it needs to be safely and correctly. At Tripak we don’t want you to put a lot of effort into your item for it to be damaged once it is received, which is why we wanted to talk to you about some of our dos and don’ts for packaging.
As your parcel makes its journey, it will be surrounded by thousands more, passing across a lot of machinery and it may even have products stacked on top of it which is why it needs to be prepared!
Packaging Dos:
- Just use a simple cardboard box to pack your item safely.
- Make sure to choose a box that is just the right size, so there isn’t much space between the item and the side of the box.
- Use enough cushioning to protect your item.
- It is important that your item doesn’t touch the side of the box.
- Seal the box with reinforced paper tape.
- Finally remove any old parcel labels.
