Guidelines
Corrugated box - cardboard thickness
Always use good quality corrugated boxes to ensure there is no product damages during transit. Our recommendation for box thickness is described below:
Bubble wrap - 50 microns
Ensure to bubble wrap all products where there is a possibility of damage during in transit. Our recommendation is to use a bubble wrap that is atleast 50 microns.
Placing the product in the box
Ensure that while packing the product is placed in the center with additional cushioning (protection) on all 6 sides - bottom, 4 sides and top.
Invoice insertion
Ensure to insert a printed invoice copy inside the box before sealing it. This is a mandatory document required for both the customer and to adhere with Indian laws for transiting the package.
Void filling
All empty spaces inside the box should be filled with proper packaging fillers like -corrugated paper, buble wraps or plastic air pillows.
Taping
Use a brown tape or transparent tape that is atleast 2 inches wide for sealing all the opens of the corrugated box.
If incase the box is heavy, ensure you put additional taping on the bottom side as well
Shipping label
Ensure the below mentioned rules are being followed for shipping label:
barcode on the label should be clearly visible
label should not be pasted on the edges of the box/flyer
label should not have any ink fades / smudges / creases
label size should not be smaller than 3 x 5 inches (recommended size is 4 x 6 inches).
here should always be only one shipping label struck on the box
Flyers usage (poly bag)
Ensure when using flyers the ends are properly sealed and are not left open. The volumetric weight will be higher if you don’t tape the ends and lead to higher logistics char
