STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE :

• Use a corrugated box or a rigid carton. Check the weight specification of the box / carton you are using and don't exceed its capacity.
• Wrap the items separately.
• Provide internal protection with adequate cushioning material.
• Use strong tape designed for shipping. Tape should be at least 2" wide, but preferably 3" wide.
• Use proper labeling that has a clear and complete origin & destination address, including phone numbers and pin codes.

SOME PACKING SUGGESTIONS:

• For floppy disks the packing must be in padded envelopes or in blister- proof packing.
• Sample medical vials must have adequate protection inside the packing so that the same do not move. Shredded paper can be used for packing such materials
• For foodstuff samples like, Tea, Rice, Grains, Pulses, etc. fabric-reinforced envelopes must be used. Plain covers should not be used.
• Books must be packed in cartons / wooden cases. If in cartons, two strappings must be done to ensure that the contents hold together.
• Textile goods must be first wrapped in polythene or any suitable waterproof material and then covered with strong Hessian / Jute cloth.
• Electronic articles must be packed in adequate-ply corrugated cartons.

VOLUMETRIC CALCULATAION :

Volumetric weight is a standard practice followed throughout the air-freight industry that considers density determining charges.

The calculations are used to consider the amount of space a package will take in various modes of transportation / warehouse in relation to the actual weight of the package.
