GOOD QUALITY PACKAGING

WHEN DISPATCHING PARCELS, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SENDER TO ENSURE THAT THE PARCEL IS PREPARED SAFELY..

Keep your product safe in the packing boxes available at post offices.

WHAT IS GOOD PACKAGING?

• Goods are packed in an intact, at least three-layer cardboard box with rigid walls.
• Old labels and markings from previous deliveries have been removed.
• Contents consisting of several pieces are wrapped individually as well.
• Spaces are filled with cushioning material.
• Strong wide tape is used for sealing.
  

CORRECT PACKAGING MATERIAL

PREPARING PARCELS ALWAYS BEGINS WITH CHOOSING THE RIGHT PACKAGING MATERIAL.

WHAT IS GOOD PACKAGING MATERIAL?

• Having a strong and homogeneous surface.
• Not having a shiny, translucent or glossy surface.
• Clean and light in colour.
• Address label is easy to apply, position and read.
• Postal markings can be easily and securely affixed.
• Adequately protects the contents, filling the space inside optimally.
  

USE OF CORRECT CUSHIONING MATERIALS

THE CUSHIONING MATERIAL PROTECTS THE PARCEL ADEQUATELY FROM EXTERNAL IMPACTS.

WHAT IS GOOD PADDING?

• No empty spaces in the box, so the goods cannot slide freely.
• Helps avoid damage from knocks and shaking.
• The most common cushioning materials are polystyrene foam, bubble wrap, polyethylene protective foam, extruded polystyrene foam, crumpled paper, corrugated paper and moulded pulp.
  

CORRECT SEALING

PARCELS ARE SEALED WITH ADHESIVE TAPE TO PROTECT THE CONTENTS.

WHAT IS GOOD PARCEL SEALING?

• Adhesive tape is used to seal both new and re-used cardboard boxes.
• Strong adhesive tape is used that affixes securely and does not come off the box.
• The width of the adhesive tape is at least twice the width of the gap.
  

CORRECT ADDRESSING

THE ADDRESS LABEL OF THE PARCEL IS CLEARLY LEGIBLE AND AFFIXED WITHOUT CREASES.

WHAT IS GOOD PARCEL ADDRESSING?

• The package label is positioned on the largest surface of the box in a clearly visible position.
• The address on the parcel’s label has full and correct details and is legible.
• The parcel’s address label is not creased and the barcode is not torn.
