Correct Parcel Packaging

Packaging material

Cardboard is ideal

Ideal packaging is hard and sufficiently strong cardboard or a cardboard box.

shape

Choose dry and unworn packaging

Moisture or wear on the packaging material can significantly affect its ability to protect the contents of the parcel.

material

The correct size

The size of the packaging should always match its contents. The contents of the parcel should therefore neither "float" inside nor protrude out of the packaging.

boxes

Placing the object into the package

Place the goods in the middle

Place the contents of the parcel preferably in the middle to eliminate the possibility of damage.

inside

Filling the vacant space

Fill the space around the contents with any soft material. Suitable materials are for example newspaper, torn paper or cardboard, air cushions or polystyrene fixing blocks.

content

Separating individual products

If you are sending multiple products in one parcel, we recommend separating them with cardboard to minimize the risk of mutual damage.

areas

Deformation zones

We recommend maintaining deformation zones of at least 3 cm on all sides inside the parcel.

space

Securing the parcel with tape

Attach the tape into a crisscross pattern

Tape the parcel so that nothing can fall out. The best way is to attach the tape in a crisscross pattern.

seal

Watch out for risk areas

If necessary, re-tape the parcel in other risk areas such as box edges, joints, flaps, etc.

safe

Is the parcel ready for shipping?

The parcel must be solid, compact and homogeneous

The parcel is intended for cumulative transport and should therefore be packaged in a way to carry at least eight times its weight.
