How to Pack Fragile Items for Shipping?

How to Pack Fragile Items  Simple Guide

1. Choose the Right Box

• Use a strong, double-layer cardboard box.
• Make sure its slightly larger than the item, so theres room for cushioning

2. Wrap Each Item Carefully

• Wrap each fragile item in bubble wrap or foam.
• Use multiple layers if the item is delicate (like glass or ceramics).
• Tape the wrap to keep it secure.

3. Add Cushioning Inside the Box

• Place foam peanuts, air pillows, or crumpled paper at the bottom.
• Put the wrapped item in the center.
• Fill all empty space around the item with more cushioning.

4. Seal the Box Securely

• Use strong packing tape.
• Tape all seams and edges in an ''H'' pattern.

5. Label the Box

• Stick ''FRAGILE'' labels on all sides.
• Also add ''THIS SIDE UP'' if needed.

 For Air Freight:

• Use lightweight materials.
• Double-box for extra protection.
• Avoid loose items inside the box.

For Sea Freight:

• Wrap items in waterproof plastic.
• Add desiccant packs (like silica gel).
• Use wooden crates or very strong boxes.
• Seal with water-resistant tape and labels.

Warehouse Storage Tips:

• Always place on a pallet never directly on the floor.
• Do not stack heavy items on top.
• Keep fragile items on top and clearly marked.

Final Tip:

''If it can move, it can break.''

Make sure your item is packed tight, cushioned well, and clearly labeled.
