Packaging Guidelines
Packaging guidelines are provided for protection against internal damages which can occur during transit.
The detailed guidelines below are meant for different parcel types including small non-fragile, fragile, and high-value items.
Guidelines for Different Parcel Types
1. High Value Items
- Conceal branding and content of item within the parcel to reduce chances of tampering or theft.
- Do not show the price/value of item on the parcel. Do not indicate that parcel contains high-value item(s).
- Paste fragile stickers over taped areas.
- Use heavy-duty and wider tape to securely seal the box, around all possible openings/seals.
2. Fragile Items (Ceramic, Glassware)
- Use corrugated cardboard with divider for multiple ceramics and glassware
- Wrap every single ceramics or glassware with 1 layer bubble wrap.
- Fill up the empty space with fillers.
- Ensure fragile sticker is on the parcel’s external packaging and not handwritten.
3. Liquid & Spillable Items
- Use the corrugated cardboard with divider for multiple bottles.
- Wrap every single bottle with 1 layer of bubble wrap or bottle protective net.
- Fill up the empty space with fillers.
- Secure lid with plastic tape or cap sealer.
4. Irregular Shape Items
- Items that are shrink-wrapped together should all be of similar shapes and sizes.
- Oddly-shaped or oddly-sized items should not be shrink-wrapped together to ensure the integrity of the arrangement.
- Irregular-sized items should be placed in a carton box with no empty space in between.
