Ensuring that goods are properly packaged for international shipping is crucial for us to protect them during transit and to comply with international shipping regulations.
- We Choose the Right Packaging Materials
- Corrugated Boxes: We use high-quality, durable corrugated cardboard boxes for most items.
- Wooden Crates: Suitable for heavy or large items that need extra protection.

- Plastic Containers: Waterproof containers can be used for items that need protection from moisture.
- We Use Appropriate Cushioning
- Bubble Wrap: Ideal for wrapping fragile items.
- Foam Peanuts: Fill empty spaces in the box to prevent movement.

- Temperature: We consider thermal insulation for goods sensitive to temperature changes.
- Shock and Vibration: We use cushioning materials and sturdy packaging to absorb shocks and vibrations during transit.
- Follow International Regulations
- ISPM 15 Compliance: For wooden packaging materials, ensure they are treated and marked according to the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) to prevent the spread of pests.
- Customs Documentation: We ensure all necessary documents, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin, are included and easily accessible.
- Weight Distribution and Load Stability
- Even Weight Distribution: We ensure that the weight is evenly distributed within each box to prevent shifting.
- Stacking: When palletizing, stack boxes in a stable configuration to avoid tipping over.
- Load Securing: We use stretch wrap, straps, or shrink wrap to secure the load on the pallet.
