​PACKAGING POINTERS​

• Boxes

  • Always try to use a new box or a used box that is in "like new" condition.

  • If using a used back make sure to black out any bar codes and remove labels when possible​

  • USPS will not accept any boxes that have alcohol advertising ​

  • Always try to keep the box size to a minimum to avoid oversize charges and excessive packaging.

  • Never overload the box or use a box that is lightweight or not rated for the capacity you are trying put in it - if you put the item in the box and the bottom of the box is sagging or while lifting the box from the edges the edges are folding in, find a stronger box. 

• Packaging Material - 2" around all sides

  • Bubble Wrap

    • ​Fragile items such as glass

    • Electronics

  • Kraft paper

    • is best left for items that are not fragile

• Tape

  • Packaging or shipping tape

  • Do not to use masking tape, electrical tape, or duct tape as they generally do not stick to cardboard very well.

  • Use at least 3 strips sealing the box flaps on the top and bottom of the box. We generally use 4 strips in an "H" pattern in the store for typical packages but use significantly more in the same pattern for heavy packages or packages with extra-long dimensions in any way. The "H" pattern first uses one strip down the middle of the two flaps of the box, one strip on each edge of the box that crosses over the first strip, and another strip directly down the middle of the two flaps again as in the first step.
