  • Make sure that you use parcel tape to fasten the bottom and the top of your boxes. Use the correct type of tape for your application.
  • Place fragile items in the middle of your parcel and ensure that they do not touch the sides of your packaging.
  • Use padded envelops for sharp and irregularly shaped items to prevent them from piercing the outer packaging.
