You may need to use different packing techniques and materials, depending on the type of products to be shipped. Be sure to familiarise yourself with the different packing requirements for different types of products.

Special packing tips for high-value electronics
High-value electronics such as tablet computers, laptops, monitors and TVs are fragile and should be packed carefully to prevent damage. Follow these steps when packing high-value electronics.
- Use a sturdy cardboard that is bigger than the item.
- Place accessories in different plastic bag.
- Use styrofoam padding to fill in the extra space.
- Tape the opening of cardboard tightly.
For Electronic Devices, the items will come together with the box. So, seller has to take extra step to ensure that the parcel is well protected and the item inside is safe from damaged. Retail packaging is usually not enough to provide adequate protection during transit. Put extra layer of bubble wrap around the packaging to absorb impact.
Special packing tips for liquids
Liquids such as soap, shampoo, cream, and other beauty / personal care products may leak or spill when in transit. Follow these steps to ensure that liquid products are properly packed.
- Seal the cap tightly and wrap it with bubbles wrap.
- For packages with multiple items inside, please wrap each item individually before placing them in a box.
- Fill in the extra space in box to put the liquid with fillers and bubble wrap.
- Seal the box or flyers with tape properly.
For liquid products, secure the bottom of the box with extra tape so bottles will not fall out. The cap of the item must be secured by tape to avoid any leakage and the whole item must be covered by thick bubble wrap (at least 3 layers). Also, the gap inside the box must be filled to ensure there is no movement when courier is handling the parcel.
Seller should also use hard and sturdy box to ensure it can hold the weight of items inside.

How can I maximise protection to my parcels?
Products which are packed with minimum packaging and does not have enough protection will increase possibility of damaged parcel during delivery and lead to high return and refund cases especially for bulky items.
To prevent damage during shipment, always pack your parcels carefully with adequate protection and label the fragile items with bubbles wrap, fragile sticker, air cushion, filler and tight tape.
√ Small item need to package according to the size of the box
X Do not packing using big box with a small item and gives empty space for shipment to move.
√ Use a waterproof, sealable primary container.
√ Pad the empty spaces of additional containers so that they don’t touch each other – the materials should also be absorbant to contain any leakage.
√ Ensure the bottles are placed upright (you can use markings on the outside of the package to ensure they stay this way in transit).
√ The final, outer container should be able to contain any potential leakage.
