Best Way to Pack Boxes for International Shipping

February 19, 20254 min

Five packing rules our dispatchers wish every customer knew.

Use double-walled boxes

International boxes get handled 5–10 times. A weak single-wall carton will crush.

Fill voids

Empty space is the #1 cause of damage. Fill with bubble, kraft paper or clothes.

Seal with H-pattern

Use real packing tape and seal top and bottom with the H-pattern, not a single strip.
