Express Packaging
Tips
To ensure your consignments
arrive on time and in good condition, it is vital you take time to pack
& label them correctly.
Yes
- Only
use rigid cartons in good condition with all edges intact.
-
Don't exceed the weight specifications for your box.
- Pack
contents in the centre of the carton, cushioned on all sides using
polystyrene chippings or bubble wrap. Ensure items that will not fit
into cartons or have sharp edges and protrusions are thoroughly
wrapped, with taped corrugated panels or pads.
- If
you send liquids check that the cases hermetically sealed. For the
shipping of fragile goods we suggest the use of wooden cases and
separators inside. Include inside the carton, a document (e.g.
business card or letterhead) that carries your address and both your
and your recipient's telephone number.
- Tape
all seams and flaps well, with pressure-sensitive plastic tape. Tape
should be at least 5.1 cm wide, but preferably 7.6 cm wide.
- If
finishes could be damaged or soiled in transit, place in protective
container.
No
-
Don't ship light weight gift boxes unless packed in stronger cartons.
-
Don't ship packages smaller than 18x10x5cm. Instead pack small items
into larger cartons.
-
Never use cellophane tape, masking tape, string or rope, avoid duct
tape and kraft-paper tape for sealing.
Yes
Ensure that the address label has
both the recipient's and your own address clearly marked.
-
Clearly print address and include phone numbers, ZIP or postcode.
-
Place all package labels on the same surface of carton's largest size.
- Take
care to ensure all labels are securely adhered. When shipping odd
shaped items use a securely attached tie-on Air Waybill* tag or pouch.
- Hand
write the Air Waybill* number with clear characters.
No
-
Don't cover sender or recipient information.
-
Don't place any tape or shrink wrap over labels.

Waybill must be signed twice by the Sender (FedEx Ship Manager users:
signature is not required)
