1. Find a right box<\/span><\/h3>\n

It can be a box or a courier bag, depending on the type of products you\u2019re selling. You have to ensure it has the right size, strength, and shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take into account spaces and gaps between the box and the item.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wrap each item individually with bubble wrap, or foam, or thick paper. Make sure it is wrapped and taped properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s hollow, like a vase, fill in the inside as well. If you\u2019re shipping an electronic device, consider using an anti-static bag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the gaps in between items and box, fill in with bubble wraps, crumpled paper or peanuts foam.<\/span><\/p>\n

A firm and strong tape will significantly reduce the chances of your box getting damaged or splitting open. If you have a bigger delivery budget, use strong packaging tape rather than sellotape. This will maintain your box\u2019s shape and adhere throughout different weather conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
