Parcel Delivery Packaging Advice Part One

Whenever you decide on any form of parcel delivery, you want to make sure that whatever it is you are sending arrives in the same condition that it left. It would be a nightmare if you were sending an expensive ornament or piece of art and it got damaged in transit. Therefore, whenever you are sending any items, it is important that you make sure that they are packaged correctly. Below we have given you the first part of our selection of useful hints and tips for when you are packaging anything to be sent.

Boxes should be durable and double-walled. Remember that items will get stacked in transit and therefore your packaging may need to support the weight of other packages. It should also be noted boxes will be transported between DHL depots so therefore maybe handled on a number of occasions.

Choose the size of the package according to its content. Under-filled boxes are likely to collapse; overloaded ones may burst.

Never tape two items together using tape or similar material, if you have two items that need to be sent in one package then this must be a suitable cardboard box/container.

Always use high quality materials for your shipments. Consider strength, cushioning, and durability when selecting your wrapping supplies.

Choose boxes made of corrugated cardboard, with good quality outer liners. Use heavy-duty double-layered board for fragile items.

Make use of cushioning materials, especially to stop your packaging contents from moving.

Use strapping or strong tape to seal and secure your box.

Put fragile goods in the centre of a package; ensuring they don't touch the sides. Your item should be well cushioned on all sides.

Ensure liquids are stored in leak-free containers, packed with a lightweight, strong, internal material (for example, Styrofoam) and sealed with a plastic bag.

Seal semi-liquids, greasy or strong-smelling substances with adhesive tape, then wrap in grease resistant paper. Always remember that bad packaging may cause damage to surrounding items.

Place powders and fine grains in strong plastic bags, securely sealed and then packed in a rigid fibreboard box.

Use an "arrow-up" label for non-solid materials.

By following the advice mentioned above along with the further tips in part two, you will have done everything possible to ensure that your parcel delivery arrives at its destination exactly as you intended it to.
