Cushioning Material Shake your package. If so, you need to repack the contents with plenty of good cushioning material. Start by putting a layer of at least two inches of the cushioning material on the bottom of the carton. Then wrap each item individually with cushioning material and center it in the carton, away from the other items and from the sides, corners, top and bottom of the carton. Fill in the spaces firmly with additional filler and add another layer of cushioning material on top.
Any delicate item needs double cushioning.
Always pack such items in heavy , corrugated cardboard cartons. Heavy printed materials which can shift around should be banded or shrink-wrapped, and cushioned within the carton. Never ship glass or other fragile items in an envelope or soft cardboard box. Packaging for fragile items must be pre-approved by our Customer Service, Operations or Marketing Department. Before you seal the carton, be sure it's sturdy enough to protect its contents, that it is undamaged and that all flaps are intact.
