The intricacies of shipping various items, especially internationally, can’t be denied, and if your business is involved in the shipping of different goods, you have to be extra careful about packing it and preparing it for shipment. But whilst it’s simple enough to pack an item and secure it, there are still some details which you may not know about, but which can affect your item once you ship it. For example, you have to make sure to include the postcode – postcodes are essential. There are other elements to bear in mind as well. Here, then, is how you can make sure your parcel is appropriately and securely wrapped for shipping.

There will be items, of course, which are prohibited or restricted, so make sure your item isn’t included in the list of such items. In general, restricted or prohibited items include such items as aerosols, batteries, alcohol, electronic goods, matches and lighters; medication, paints and perfumes, nail varnish, and perishable things. And for some reason, crackers are prohibited or restricted as well. Before you send any item, check out the regulations for it and if you can ship it, be sure to follow the guides on how to send it in the proper way.
When you are addressing your parcel for shipping, you can write the name as well as address of the recipient on the container’s front and bottom leftmost corner. Make sure your handwriting is clear and legible if you are manually writing the address, and use ink which can be clearly seen against the parcel or envelope’s colour (it’s always better to use proper mailing boxes for your parcels, so you can benefit from the right security and extra protection for your items as well). The text should also be aligned to the left, and it’s best not to use commas. Leave a big margin around the recipient’s address so it is more visible and include the postage on the container’s right topmost portion.
