Wrapping and packing advice
Some general tips for safe and secure packing are:
- use padded envelopes for sharp edges or odd shapes
- make sure any outer containers are strong enough for their contents
- fragile items shouldn't touch either each other, or the side of the container
- fill out containers with cushioning material like bubble-wrap or polystyrene chips (available from most Post Offices)
- write a return address on the item
- put a contact name, address and telephone number inside
- seal securely with nylon or vinyl tape along all edges and openings
- flatten any sharp edge from staples or metal fastenings, and cover with tape
- use a ‘FRAGILE’ sticker, if necessary
Please remember that there are some items that we can't carry.
