Tips for Packing Fragile Items

Apr 30, 2017 | Courier Service

Your Trusted Same Day Couriers in Central London

Your courier has been booked, now it’s time to pack those fragile items! To ensure your goods are treated with care from collection through to delivery, adedicated and safe courier service is needed along with some careful packaging skills.

At Transport Solutions Same Day Courier in Central London, we provide a safe and fast same day courier service in central London, with our main priority being to deliver your goods promptly and in tip top condition upon arrival.  Our direct solo courier service ensures that your package is our number one focus, with no other distractions along the way.

Here are our top tips from the industry experts, for the ultimate protection of packages:

  • Invest in proper protective packing material – bubble wrap is ideal with plenty of tape wrapped around for added padding.
  • Use ‘loose fill’ pieces (also known as peanuts), for items that can move around in their boxes. Ensure you use plenty to fill the space around your fragile items. Anti static peanuts are available to be used as an alternative to polystyrene peanuts which can cause static electricity and are therefore not recommended for moving electronic items.
  • Mark all fragile items which way is up – that way we won’t tip the box in the wrong direction and minimise movement within the package.
  • Mark each package FRAGILE and use Fragile tape too – the more obvious it is that a package contains fragile goods the better.
  • Wrap each item separately, and cushion them from each other and each side of the box.
