Packing in general
Packing in general
For the secure transport of your goods the packaging must be suitable for the weight of the parcel's contents. The packaging needs to be able to withstand the strains of automated and mechanical sorting, handling and transport operations. Parcels packed together as a bundle are excluded from transport.
Outer packaging
The outer packaging should be tightly closed and well sealed with adhesive tape along all edges. None of the parcel's contents should stick out of the packaging. Please make sure that your goods are fully packed in a cardboard box which is square or rectangular in shape.
Compared to sales or presentation packaging, specially designed packaging has a protective function which makes it suitable for transport purposes. Before re-using them you should check any used outer packaging, seals and padding for damage and, if necessary, repair or replace them. Please make sure that you remove any existing barcodes, and that the addresses of the shipper and the consignee are clearly readable.

Inner packaging
Inner packaging
You should use soft padding for light goods and harder padding for heavy goods. This provides protection and prevents any play inside the packaging. The goods must be protected and fixed in place on all sides.
The contents should not be able to move around. If the contents of the parcel vary, you should select the inner packaging to make sure that the most sensitive articles are well protected, and can't come into contact with the outer packaging.
Consignee address
Please make sure that the consignee address is correct and clearly marked. In the case of domestic and international Express-Service parcels, the telephone number should be added to the consignee address.
