Getting ready for package transportation

Every load ought to be wrapped with care. Careful packaging is not really time-consuming and ensures that your load will stay in the same shape on the road. Remember that this is your job as a service buyer to prepare a parcel for pick-up. However, you can pay a transport provider to do it for you if you simply don’t have time to take care of that. Haulers have a lot experience and have learnt how to deal with all kinds of stuff.

The most common way to prepare a parcel packaging is to use a cardboard. You can use cardboard found at home, if it isn’t damaged. You may also visit a local grocery shop to get couple of boxes for free. Shops generally get rid of cardboard anyway. Obviously, there is an option to buy boxes on the Internet or at a hardware store close by. 

If you are up to use an old cardboard, make sure that there are no signs or stickers on it. You should remove any information that would confuse a courier and leave only information about the transportation.

The size of the cardboard is supposed to be relatively similar to the size of your cargo. It is not smart to choose too big box because then you ought to put fillers inside. Otherwise, cargo could be ruined. On the other hand, you shouldn’t grab too small box because your things shouldn’t be squeezed inside. This could really destroy them.

Untypical shaped or fragile things should be packed with special care. Fragile goods are especially china, ceramics but also instruments or glass. Preparing that type of cargo is significant. The common method is to wrap everything using bubble foil. Paper or textiles would be fine as well. To fill the box you can use Styrofoam, some fabrics, pieces of paper or bubble foil. You can also purchase foam chips.

The final step is to strongly tape a box to close it. Don’t use string because it could be easily removed and due to the fact that it’s not as hardy as a tape. It may be too fragile and in that case it wouldn't protect your cargo.

If you have plenty parcels to ship (e.g. during office removal), sign each of the cardboards. It will be much easier to unpack the boxes after the delivery. It is also important to have information about which parcels contain fragile goods. You are supposed to put dedicated stickers on or just write down the important information on boxes.
