Packaging Guide for International Shipping

Good packaging is the foundation for goods to arrive safely.

Basic Packaging Principles

• Durable: Must withstand shipping bumps, collisions and stacking pressure
• Moisture-proof: Prevent moisture damage, especially for long sea voyages
• Pressure-resistant: Avoid being crushed, consider stacking height
• Clear labeling: Mark fragile, moisture-proof, orientation signs
• Appropriate: Not too large or heavy to avoid extra costs

Packaging by Cargo Type

Fragile Items

• Use foam, bubble wrap as cushioning
• Mark "Fragile" on exterior
• Secure items inside, no movement
• Double packaging recommended

Liquid Cargo

• Sealed packaging to prevent leakage
• Reinforced bottle caps
• Leak-proof outer packaging
• Mark "This side up", avoid inversion

Electronics

• Anti-static packaging materials
• Moisture protection
• Cushioning to prevent collision
• Batteries need separate packaging with DG label

Large Cargo

• Reinforce packaging edges
• Secure on pallet
• Mark weight and dimensions
• Consider lifting and handling convenience
