ICExpress Courier Packing Guidelines
???? Proper Packaging Essentials
Proper packaging is crucial for ensuring your items arrive safely. Follow these guidelines to protect your shipments:
Wrapping Your Items
• Place items within an inner box wrapped in bubble wrap
• Keep multiple items separated to prevent contact during transit
• Use a rigid cardboard box for outer packaging
• Seal all openings securely to prevent accidental opening
Fragile Items Need Extra Protection
• Use bubble wrap, foam sheeting, or polystyrene surrounds
• Add moulded foam or polystyrene peanuts to minimize movement
• Consider double-boxing especially delicate items
????️ Strong Outer Packaging
The strength of your outer packaging directly affects the safety of your shipment:
• Choose corrugated fibreboard boxes with quality outer wrapping
• Ensure the box strength matches the weight of your items
• Avoid reusing severely damaged or weakened boxes
???? Secure Sealing & Labeling
• Seal all edges (top and bottom) with plastic or reinforced carton tape
• Do not strap parcels together - send as separate packages
• Attach labels using clear plastic envelopes when shipping luggage
• Write the waybill number directly on the package as backup
• Include clear recipient and sender addresses (including phone numbers) both inside and outside the parcel
