How to Package Products for Delivery

Guides merchants on selecting packaging materials, cushioning fragile items, and weatherproofing shipments against courier transit wear.

Before You Begin

  • Gather appropriate box sizes, poly mailers, bubble wrap, packing tape, and void fill materials.
  • Review courier volumetric weight rules to avoid paying oversized parcel fees.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Choose the Right Outer Box or Mailer

Select a sturdy corrugated box or tear-resistant poly mailer sized appropriately to fit items without excessive empty space.

Step 2: Wrap Fragile Items Individually

Use bubble wrap or protective paper around delicate items, ensuring at least an inch of cushioning on all sides.

Step 3: Fill Empty Voids

Place void fill materials such as paper or air pillows inside the box so items do not shift when the parcel is shaken.

Step 4: Seal Securely with Heavy-Duty Tape

Apply wide packaging tape using the H-taping method across all box seams to prevent opening during transport.

What You Should See

  • Durable, well-sealed packages capable of withstanding parcel handling and delivering items in pristine condition.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

Problem: Packages Regularly Damaged in Transit

Solution: Upgrade to double-wall corrugated cardboard and increase internal cushioning around vulnerable corners.
