How to Pack Cargo Safely

Select suitable outer cartons, protect contents from movement and mark fragile loads appropriately.

Choose strong packaging

Use an outer box suitable for the shipment weight and reinforce seams. Avoid visibly damaged boxes.

Protect the contents

Use cushioning to keep contents from shifting. Secure glass or fragile items separately.

Seal and label correctly

Apply labels clearly, remove obsolete shipping marks and attach required paperwork.

Check restrictions

Confirm whether contents are accepted before dispatch, particularly batteries, liquids and regulated goods.
