Safe and secure deliveries

Pack with care before the parcel starts moving.

Follow these practical packaging guidelines to help your parcel reach its destination safely and on time.

Five checkpoints

Good packaging protects the full journey.

Choose suitable materials, prevent movement, seal the parcel properly and make handling requirements easy to see.

Use quality outer packaging

Choose a strong box for the item size and weight. Avoid damaged boxes, and use thick, tamper-resistant wrapping for suitable non-box items.

Secure odd-shaped or oversized items

Use sturdy outer packaging, inserts and cushioning so irregular items cannot shift and the package keeps its shape under weight.
