Some Useful Tips for Packaging International Shipments
No consignment can travel up to the destination in sealed condition. It will be opened and checked at various check-points. Therefore, packaging must be strong enough to sustain the pressures of the journey. Under any circumstances overnight, no one will be responsible for any damage/breakage of the consignment in transit.
- Ensure that the packing box is suitable in size and strength to hold its contents.
- Ensure that the cushioning material is stuffed generously in the box.
- Use of strapping is a good way to seal the box as it supports even weaker boxes.
- Fragile items should always be packed by a professional packer with proper markings indicating it as FRAGILE.
- Ensure that specially designed boxes are used for packing floppies and video-cassettes.
- Ensure that while packing sharp items like Knives, Scissors, etc., the edges and points of these items are fully protected.
- Shipments packed in wooden boxes should have an open-able lid, which can be opened and re-locked again and again.
- Ensure that no single package weighs more than 35 Kgs.
