Preparation for parcel transportation

All parcels should be wrapped with caution. Safe packaging is not really time-consuming and ensures that your load will stay in the same shape after the arrival. Be aware that this is your duty as a consumer to make ready a package for pick-up. Nevertheless, you can pay a hauler to arrange it for you if you simply don’t have time to take care of that. Transport companies provide best knowledge and have learnt how to deal with different kinds of cargo.

The most common way to deal with a load packaging is to use a cardboard. You can use cardboard that was used before, if it is in good shape. You might as well visit a local supermarket to take couple of boxes free of charge. Shops generally get rid of cardboard anyway. Naturally, there is an option to purchase a packaging on the Internet or at a hardware store nearby. 

If you are up to use an used cardboard, make sure that there are no signs or stickers on it. You should get rid of any information that would mislead a hauler and leave only information regarding the transportation.

The size of the cardboard should be relatively similar to the size of your cargo. It is not smart to use larger box because then you have to put fillers inside. Otherwise, cargo could be ruined. Of course, you shouldn’t grab too small cardboard because your things shouldn’t be squeezed inside. That would really destroy them.

Small or fragile objects must be packed with special care. Fragile goods are especially china, ceramics but also electronics or glass. Preparing that type of cargo is significant. The most popular way is to wrap everything with bubble insulation. Paper or fabrics would work fine as well. As fillers you should use Styrofoam, some fabrics, pieces of paper or sponges. You may also purchase air pillows.

The final step is to strongly tape a box to close it. Don’t use string because it could be easily removed and because it’s not as resistant as a tape. It may be too fragile and in that case it won't be able to secure your parcel.

In case you have plenty parcels to ship (for example during a house removal), sign every box. It will be much easier to unpack the boxes after the delivery. It is also important to have information about which parcels contain delicate cargo. You can put special stickers on or just write down the specific information on boxes.
