When packing items or stacked objects

When packing items or stacked objects, you should always use dividers, which provide absorption to shocks.The most frequently used dividers are corrugated cardboard sheets, chipboard sheets, or plain brown "Kraft-paper" sheets. Rolls of corrugated boxes, cut to size, are excellent for low cost padding. Foam sheeting is recommended to wrap up fragile objects.

As your shipment is transported, it may be exposed to adverse environments caused by weather conditions and transport vibrations, so correct packaging is vital.

Where possible use sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes.

Wrap fragile materials individually so they do not touch each other.

Even the stickiest labels can come off. An extra address label placed inside the package is a good precaution.

Remove old address/shipping labels from your packages.

Use cushioned bags, such as padded and bubble bags to carry such things as diskettes, tapes, keys and small electronic parts. These bags provide good shock absorption performance. Waterproof and anti-static versions are also available.
