Step #1: Choosing and Resizing the Box
Put your merchandise in the box and mark the unfilled area
between them and the lid. This unoccupied part may cause damage to your load,
so you want to fill it before wrapping the box up.
There are two ways to do so. You can either utilize the
stuffing materials you have or cut the box to make it smaller.
However, keep these in mind:
- Stuffing materials such as Styrofoam are illegal in some countries. So, steer clear of them while packing your cargo for shipping.
- If the vacant space is too much, it’s best to resize the box. Stuffing may not keep your goods safe when the unoccupied area is more than a couple of inches.
Step #2: Filling in the Empty Space
As mentioned earlier, it’s best to leave no space in the box. So, even if the box fits your goods, it’s still helpful to put some air bubbles in to guarantee the safety of the merchandise.
Step #3: Wrapping the Box Up Properly
Use tapes to wrap the box up. But be careful to leave no bumps on any side. A standard box must have fully flat sides. So, do not up to send it unless its flanks look entirely even.
Step #4: Labeling
As the final stage of packing your cargo for shipping, you should label it. Labels indicate whether or not your load is fragile, dangerous, contains liquid, etc.
Moreover, you can utilize them to show the top and bottom of the carton so the courier knows how to transport it as it should be.
Now, your package is ready to be inspected and sent. But bear in mind that the final fees depend on its volumetric weight.
