For all the packaging materials you'll need, whatever you are shipping, visit our packaging shop.
. Boxes
For safe parcel delivery the quality of the box you use is of paramount importance. For the best protection your box should be made from industry standard durable double walled corrugated cardboard.
. Cushioning materials
This describes the materials that fill your box to protect more fragile items and ensure safe parcel delivery. They include: Bubble wrap, Polystyrene chips, or tightly screwed up newspaper.
. Tape
Your package must be sealed securely to ensure that it does not open in transit. Household tape is NOT suitable for courier delivery. All edges where the flaps of your carton meet should be securely sealed with 48mm or 50mm wide plastic or reinforced carton tape
. Cylinders
Triangular shaped cylinders should be used for packaging rolled items such as maps and blueprints. Tubular cylinders are more easily crushed and therefore should not be used.
. Packaging material YOU MUST NOT use
i. Do not tie your package with string as this can get snagged in transit. ii. Do not use Bags made from non waterproof materials as these can degrade and weaken. iii. Do not use weak single walled 'supermarket' type boxes. Boxes should be double walled, rigid and new else their integrity may be compromised.
