Specific packing of the cargo is the central pillar for the delivery that you are sending. Here are some essential advises about the wrapping of the package for delivery abroad or in the country.

Size and Weight limit

Size and weight of the cargo is important for every cargo company. Almost every cargo service has a system of check and balance for the size and weight limit.

Economy and Express service is restricted to 25kg.  However, if the package weight surpasses than 25 kg then it will consider a heavyweight package and require a heavy parcel tag.

In this condition, the customer will follow the heavyweight delivery services. If the package is more than 50kg in weight, then it is compulsory for the sender to inform the Parcel Company in advance for booking and company will arrange a special vehicle for the delivery of this heavy package. Pallets service is used for the packages that are more than 70 kg in weight.

The customer can also calculate the freight himself by using Measurement, calculation formula:  Girth= (2 x width) + (2 x height).

Fruitful tips for Shipping

Here are some golden tips for the cargo shipping that will support the customers to arrange the freight for the routine delivery.

Select a perfectly new and a good box of wood or metal.

On the use of a recycle box, then make it sure that the box isn’t damaged and wrap it more parcel tape for firming.

Separately packed the items with the softening material (e.g. Bubble wrap) and enter them in the package away from the sides and corners.

Sharp and irregularly designed stuff should be covered and taped to shield the stuff from stabbing the box.

Packed the articles in a plastic bag to keep them from moist.

You can also twist the package with tape three times in each side to provide a more care.

Duct tape, masking tape, string, and cellophane are not alternatives for proper packaging materials.
