Never exceed the maximum gross weight for the box, which is usually printed on the bottom flap. Provide internal protection. To properly cushion the contents of your package, wrap each item separately. Fragile articles need to be protected from each other and separated from the corners and sides of the box to prevent damage. Close it securely.
Proper closure is just as important as adequate cushioning.
Apply three strips to both the top and bottom of the box Water-activated reinforced tape. Similar to plain paper tape, except that reinforcing fibers have been added for strength. This tape requires only two center seam strips, in contrast to the six strips necessary for paper tape Do not use masking tape, cellophane tape, string, or paper over-wrap. Use proper labeling. For international shipments, include a contact name, telephone number, and postal code.
