Logical

To ensure safe and efficient packaging, it is crucial to use appropriately sized packaging materials to prevent items from moving or colliding during transit, minimizing damage and waste. Overfilled packaging can exert excessive internal pressure, deforming the box and damaging items, while underfilled packaging creates gaps that lead to uneven stress, causing box collapse, dents, or tilting, which affects customer satisfaction. Suitable filling materials such as bubble wrap, PE foam, or newspapers should be used to fill empty spaces within the box . Packaging must also be sturdy enough to withstand the item's weight, especially for irregular or round shapes. Polystyrene boxes require additional external protection due to their fragility. Plastic bags are unsuitable as outer packaging, and appropriate boxes or shipping bags should be used instead. When shipping items in their manufacturer’s original packaging, which often includes protective fillers and tamper-evident seals, minimal extra fillers should be added. If the original packaging is non-corrugated , it must be placed inside a corrugated box with bubble wrap and fillers to prevent movement, whereas corrugated original packaging should be wrapped with ample cushioning materials and concealed with black shrink wrap to reduce theft or tampering risks. Additionally, all liquid containers , even if sturdy, must be placed inside waterproof bags to prevent leakage and contamination of other parcels.

Safety

Safety is a critical aspect of logistics packaging, ensuring that parcels are securely delivered, capable of absorbing impacts, resistant to theft, and do not endanger personnel or other shipments. Using durable packaging materials, such as reinforced cartons or waterproof materials with sufficient thickness and impact resistance, helps withstand external pressure and vibrations. Fragile or pressure-sensitive items require internal reinforcement, such as partitions or protective layers, to separate them from external forces and prevent damage. Filling empty spaces within boxes with foam, bubble wrap, or similar materials prevents item movement during transit, with gaps not exceeding 2 cm. Shaking the package can help ensure items remain securely in place. Sharp objects must not protrude from the packaging, as they can damage the box, harm other parcels, or pose risks to staff; wrapping them in foam or cardboard prevents direct contact with the outer layer. For valuable items, using dark or black tape and shipping bags helps conceal the contents, while fragile stickers provide handling instructions. Lastly, it is essential to ensure that no prohibited or dangerous goods are included in the shipment.

Reuse / Recycle

Recycling materials for packaging helps reduce waste while maintaining secure transit. Unused boxes can be repurposed for packing, and PE foam or bubble wrap in usable condition can be used for inner filling. To prevent confusion during shipping, all old labels, including previous addresses, dangerous goods indicators, and stickers, should be removed from recycled boxes. When using recycled or reused materials, it is important to follow key precautions:

1. Fill the empty spaces within the box.
2. One waybill with multiple parcels in different shapes and sizes in prohibited, as it is very theft-prone and damage-prone during the transit process.
3. Do not overload the box.
4. Do not use bags made of fabric or cloth to pack the parcel.
5. Do not pack the parcel with damaged boxes.
6. Make sure the previous leftover material is in clean, dry, sturdy, and usable condition.
7. Newspapers, eggshells, and other fillers can be used as filling materials for saving material cost purposes.
