What packaging materials are recommended for sending a package?

Asked 6 months ago
When sending a package through Royal Mail, we recommend using suitable packaging materials to ensure the safety of your items. It is suggested to use strong, corrugated cardboard boxes that are specifically designed for shipping purposes. These boxes offer excellent durability and protection during transit. Consider reinforcing the corners with packaging tape for added strength. Fragile or delicate items should be individually wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent damage. Fill any empty space within the box with packing peanuts or crumpled newspaper to minimize movement and secure the contents. Seal the package using strong adhesive tape, ensuring all openings are securely closed. Lastly, always affix the correct postage and address labels clearly on the package. Following these packaging guidelines will help ensure the safe delivery of your package with Royal Mail.
