How to Package a Parcel for Post Safely at Christmas – Festive Packaging Tips
Materials
It is vital at Christmas, more than at any other time of year, that you package parcels in the safest way possible. With such a large volume of parcels being shipped, it may be likely that your parcel is thrown around and not looked after particularly well. Especially if it’s going abroad! Therefore, it is essential that you invest in some good materials. Buy some quality jiffy bags, cardboard boxes, and heavy duty tape. Measure the items you’re sending so you are sure that the packaging materials are up to standard. Don’t cut corners when it comes to packaging at Christmas! You may risk hindering the chance for your parcel to reach the destination on time.
Bulk and Protect
Make sure your parcels are well packaged and protected!
Another thing we recommend every one of our clients doing is to really bulk out their parcels with bubble wrap or extra cardboard padding. You can even use some newspaper you might have lying around! As mentioned previously, it’ll be a busy time of year in the sorting offices. So, make sure you protect your items as best as you can. Also, corrugated cardboard is particularly helpful! If the things packaged are very fragile, we would say that bubble wrap an essential.
Festive Extras
And lastly, why not add some festive charm to the parcel? Go further than wrapping your presents this year! Though it may get a bit roughed up during the time it’s being handled by the Royal Mail, it’s just some fun. Whether you add some Christmas tape, use the speciality Christmas postage stamps or simply decorate the parcel. It will be appreciated and welcomed by the postal workers and the parcel recipient. Have a bit of fun when shipping your Christmas gifts!
