How do I prepare my item for shipping?

Make sure you choose packing materials right for your shipment. Those can differ by product type and its special characteristics, e.g. fragile or non-fragile item. Also, assess the form of your parcel contents: for example, liquids or powders will require special packaging materials. Check out the UPS website packaging guidelines for more helpful advice.

Use a Corrugated Box: If reusing a box, make sure it’s in good condition (no punctures, tears or corner damage). Opt for a box that’s suitable for the contents you’re shipping.

Provide Internal Protection:

Cushion the contents of your parcel properly. Fragile articles need separation from each other, and from the box. Make sure you use enough cushioning material to ensure that the contents do not move when you shake the container.

The following items provide the best cushion and protection:

• Inflatable packaging
• Engineered foam
• Kraft paper
• Polystyrene peanuts
• Bubble wrap

Seal Your Box Securely: Proper closure of your box is just as important as proper cushioning for the safety and security of your shipment. Use strong tape five centimeters or more in width to seal the box.
