Packing Boxes

Here are some tips to ensure that you've covered all aspects when it comes to packing your shipment.

Second hand boxes may be too loose. Ensure your box is firm and rigid and in the best possible condition.

Stacking strength is reduced when too much padding is used. Avoid using boxes that are too big for their contents. Doing so ensures nothing is crushed.

Boxes can weigh up to 70kg without a pallet, remember to put a "HEAVY" label on boxes over 23 kg.

Make sure to use proper sealing tape and use a H pattern on the top and the bottom. Consider using strapping for heavier boxes

Don't fold labels with barcodes over edges. Remove any old labels and affix the new label on top and ensure it's visible.
