How to pack parcels
Safe transport of your shipment starts with proper packing. Parcels are transferred from vehicle to vehicle 2–3 times during transport, mechanically sorted on belts and stacked on top of each other.
1Choose the right cardboard box
- ✓Minimum 3-ply, undamaged cardboard box.
- ✓Match the box size to the contents – not too big, not too small.
- ✓Pack smaller items in separate boxes, then into a larger cardboard box.
⚠️
Do not use boxes from crisps, nappies, etc. – they are too thin and flimsy.
2Sealing and reinforcement
- ✓Seal the box with packing tape or DUCT TAPE – bottom and top flaps.
- ✓Additionally secure with stretch film.
- ✓Do not seal the box with masking tape, insulation tape or paper tape.
3Filling the parcel
Use appropriate cushioning materials so that the contents do not shift inside the box.
- ✓Flopak – for heavy items.
- ✓Skropak – biodegradable, safe for electronics.
- ✓Air pillows – for light and delicate items.
- ✓Polystyrene moulds – best for electronics.
- ✓Newspapers/packing paper – only as supplementary filling.
4Packing the contents
- ✓Protect each item individually (bubble wrap, fabric, cardboard).
- ✓Recommended min. 5 cm protective layer for each item.
- ✓Do not overload the box – check the maximum load capacity.
- ✓Remove old labels and barcodes from the box.
