A better journey starts with better packing.

Start with the product

Choose packaging appropriate to the size, weight, fragility and value of the contents. A correctly sized outer carton with internal protection helps reduce avoidable movement.

Essential checks

• Use an undamaged, sufficiently strong outer carton or crate.
• Cushion all sides and prevent movement inside the package.
• Keep liquids sealed in suitable secondary containment where permitted.
• Protect sharp edges and sensitive components.
• Seal securely and position legible labels on a flat surface.
• For pallet cargo, distribute weight and secure the load properly.

Oversized or regulated goods

Request specialist instructions before preparing hazardous, temperature-sensitive, oversized or exceptionally valuable consignments. Labelling alone does not make restricted goods acceptable for transport.
