The following are few steps which one should consider in packing the cargo.

• The size of the package should be according to its content. Under-filled boxes are likely to collapse; overloaded ones may burst.
• Seal semi-liquids, greasy or strong-smelling substances with adhesive tape, then wrap in grease resistant paper. Always remember that bad packaging may cause damage to surrounding items.
• When re-using a box, remove all labels and stickers. Ensure that the box is in good shape and not worn out
• Use strapping, when suitable, as a good way to seal and secure your box. Use strong tape if a strapping machine is not available.
• Complete the address clearly and completely, using uppercase letters when handwriting labels to improve readability.
