Package Like a Pro: Your Fun Guide to Courier Packaging

Hey there! Myriam here
Let me tell you about packaging
It is like dating
You want to make a good first impression
But sometimes things go wrong
Really wrong
Like that time I sent my grandmas crystal vase using newspaper and hopes and prayers
Spoiler alert: Prayers do not cushion crystal
Lets make sure you do not make the same mistakes
The Box Basics
Think of boxes like shoes
Too big? Your stuff will dance around
Too small? Everything gets squished
Just right? Now we are talking
Pick a box that fits your item like a glove
But not those cheap gloves that split at the seams
We want the fancy ones
Bubble Wrap is Your Best Friend
Remember popping bubble wrap as a kid?
Still fun, right?
But resist the urge
Your items need those bubbles more than your fidgety fingers do
Wrap your items like you are tucking a baby into bed
Gentle
Loving
With just enough coverage to keep them warm and safe
The Space Game
Empty space in your box is like an unsupervised toddler
Chaos will happen
Fill those gaps with packing peanuts
Or crumpled paper
Or your old love letters
(Kidding about that last one... maybe)
Tape Like You Mean It
Remember that one relative who gives you birthday presents wrapped with entire rolls of tape?
Be that relative
But professional
Seal every edge
Every corner
Make that box fortress strong
Labels Are Not Optional
Writing addresses is like telling a story
Make it clear
Make it complete
No plot twists
No mysteries
Your package should know exactly where it is going
FAQs That Keep Me Up at Night
Q: Can I use old boxes?
A: Sure, if they are stronger than your morning coffee
Q: How much bubble wrap is too much?
A: When your package looks like a bubble wrap monster, maybe dial it back
Q: What about fragile stickers?
A: Yes, please! Like putting a warning label on your spicy curry

Trust me on this one
The Final Countdown
Double check everything

Quadruple check the seals
Your package is ready for its journey
Like sending your kid off to school
But with better directions
Remember: Proper packaging is not just about protection
It is about peace of mind
And keeping your blood pressure at healthy levels
Because nobody needs the stress of damaged goods
Nobody
Need more packaging wisdom?
Just ask
I have got stories that will make you laugh
And cry
But mostly laugh
Happy packaging, friends!
And remember: Package like everyone in the delivery chain is having a bad day
Because sometimes they are
