Making shipments can be complicated if proper packaging is not used to transport the products or articles. This post will give you some packaging tips to follow so your shipments are not damaged and arrive on time.
Protect your shipments: packing tips
The logistics industry
is one of the largest and most important, especially due to electronic
commerce's boom in the modern era. The processes are becoming more
sophisticated, but let's not forget that worldwide millions of packages are
sent through different providers, and the success of a good shipment depends to
a large extent on the packaging since it will be the "protective
shield" of the things or articles that you send.
Improper
packaging can jeopardize your shipment, so it will be extremely important
that you follow proper packaging instructions.
What are the risks of not using good packaging in your shipments?
- Merchandise damaged
- Shipping delays
- Mishandling of merchandise
- Denial of insurance claim
How should the external packaging be?
Use materials,
preferably rigid and in good condition. Used crates can lose up to 50% of
stamina.
Choose a box that is
the right size for the item you are shipping. Remember the measurements in the Britwrap
boxes (Large Box (40L x 40H x 50W) – Medium Box: (30L x 30H x 40W) – Backpacks
(45L x 45W x 70H)) and make sure that your items fit perfectly. Otherwise, we
cannot be held responsible if your shipment suffers a mishap.
How should the internal packaging be?
The internal protective
packaging must provide greater
stability to your shipment. In addition, it must protect it against shocks and
vibrations caused by the transfer, especially if it is about delicate products
such as glass objects or even food.
This is how you can
protect your shipments:
1. Polyethylene
sheets: cushioning
properties, excellent for protecting light objects.
2. Bubble wrap: the flexible product that allows items
to be easily wrapped.
3. Inflatable bags: use air pressure to insulate products
and maintain temperature.
4. Moldable foam: forms a shell, fills in gaps and
conforms to the shape of the item.
5. Kraft paper: used to wrap items or fill spaces.
6. Corrugated
cardboard: can be used as a
screen between the product and the outer packaging.
7. Styrofoam padding: lightweight padding material resists
impacts during transport.
8. Modular packaging: moldable boxes that can be inserted one
inside the other.
9. Angular corners: protect the corners from possible
impacts or blows.

It is important to
tell you that to keep costs affordable. We do not have a packaging service at Britwrap.
It must be at your own expense. We give you some recommendations for making
your packaging:
- Be aware of the type of product you are shipping,
whether it requires special or delicate handling.
- If you send food, protect each dish separately, in
individual boxes or containers, and remember the natural movement of the
transfer.
- If you're shipping tech items, use extra packaging than
the one you brought the device in and seal it with wide tape.
At Britwrap, we ship items and products that require
special handling. Therefore, we always work very closely with our clients. For
example, we have a client who sends ice pops, and the packaging is done through
small Styrofoam coolers, which guarantees that Your product will arrive in the
right conditions.
Britwrap is a local courier, and the added value we offer
our customers is the advantage of interacting directly. Each client can contact
an expert logistics advisor or the assigned courier to refine details or add
