"HOW TO PACKAGE YOUR PRODUCT"
How to package your product.
It's important to properly cushion the contents of your package.
Wrap each item separately. Fragile articles need both proper separation from each other and clearance from the corners and sides of the box. This will prevent product against product damage and protect the contents from shock and vibration, which can pass from the outside of the box to the contents.
Proper cushioning material, combined with a strong outer box, will protect your shipment.
A wide variety of materials can be used for cushioning and protection. These include:
Air-encapsulated plastic (bubble wrap)
Expanded polystyrene (loosefill/peanuts)
Note: This type of cushioning may not be suitable for heavier products that tend to shift toward the bottom of the package while in transportation.
Foam-in-place (a foam, sprayed into boxes to form protective molded pieces around the contents)
Corrugated dividers
Paper (crumpled brown paper or newspaper)
Note: Paper is only suitable for lighter products. It tends to flatten out when used as cushioning for heavy products.
Use enough cushioning material to ensure that the contents cannot move easily when you shake the box. Several inches of cushioning material all the way around should be adequate.
Note: Extremely fragile objects require special packaging for safe shipment
