How to Pack an International Parcel

Good packing protects the contents and gives the courier stable dimensions for rating and handling.

A practical packing checklist

Use a sound outer carton sized for the contents. Cushion movement, protect edges, close every seam and keep the outside clear for the shipping label.

  • Choose a strong outer carton
  • Wrap items individually
  • Fill empty space
  • Use strong packing tape
  • Photograph the contents before closing

When to ask for help

Fragile, valuable, unusually shaped, liquid, powered or temperature-sensitive items may need an eligibility and packing review before acceptance.
