How to pack and ship corporate merch — box specs, labeling and carrier choice
Get the box right and 80% of breakage disappears — corrugate spec, double-wall thresholds, label placement and EU-compliant carrier prep.
Overview
Packing failures cause 60% of post-delivery complaints — and most are preventable. We publish box specs (corrugate ECT 32 standard, ECT 44 double-wall for >15kg, B/C-flute selection), tissue and void-fill rules, label placement (top + side), fragile/this-side-up requirements, and carrier-specific prep (DHL, UPS, GLS, BRT/SDA).
Process
EU customs paperwork, IOSS pre-clearance for low-value B2C cross-border, and CN22/CN23 prep handled by us.
