How to properly pack a parcel

When sending a parcel abroad, don't forget to pack it securely. The parcel will go through several transshipments, so it must be packed firmly. Cardboard boxes with sufficient load capacity are ideal. Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap, fill any empty space with polystyrene or air cushions. Seal the parcel thoroughly with quality tape and don't forget to attach the printed shipping label. Complete information on safe parcel delivery can be found at.
