Cross-border commodities must traverse a long and winding route from one country to another. In order to ship goods overseas in good condition, merchants must pay close attention to packaging in addition to selecting a reputable logistics company.
So, how should the goods be packed to reduce damage?
1. Materials for packing
Outer packaging materials available to the vendor include polyethylene and polyurethane. For starters, these materials are lighter; nonetheless, they offer a great carrying capacity.Simultaneously, these two materials are somewhat environmentally benign, which corresponds to the environmental concept of overseas purchasers. If the item is fragile, the seller will need to include fillers like foam paper or foam. Avoid creating gaps, as this increases the likelihood of the objects collapsing and breaking. It is advisable that the seller place a fragile label on the outer packaging to avoid harsh sorting by the Courier.
2. The box's dimensions
Make an effort to select the appropriate size box. If the box is excessively large, the seller will not only have to add more cushioning, but will also have to charge a higher delivery fee. Because, whether you charge by volume or weight, a box that is too large will result in more freight. Furthermore, the stuffing costs a particular amount, therefore the seller must purchase the box based on the product size.
3. Watertight packing
When items are delivered overseas, they will invariably come into touch with water, whether due to rain or other factors. The merchant must provide watertight packaging, such as packing made of waterproof materials. If the goods become damp and the product is damaged, the buyer will most likely return the goods or leave a review. It will be more difficult for the seller in either case.
4. Provide holiday marketing services
Sellers might pay extra attention to packaging during a holiday sale. Choosing a holiday bundle might boost the buyer's goodwill. Of course, the most important thing for festival product sellers to focus on is punctuality, so if you need to change the outside packaging, develop a good strategy ahead of time to avoid affecting the arrival time.
5. Purchases
The order sheet can assist the seller in confirming that the goods match the address, and more orders must be processed during peak season. When you pack too many items at once, it's easy to mix the goods with the address. In at least two instances, this error is out of sequence. The buyer has every motive to acquire defective goods and write negative evaluations. Placing the order in the box and sealing it after reconfirmation can minimize the error rate significantly.
