Checklist for secure packaging for courier services
Actionable packaging advice for B2B shipments: choose materials, secure contents, document with photos and use a handover checklist for Swiss couriers.
Quick answer
Pack shipments so they withstand shocks, vibrations and short impacts in a passenger car. Use the right outer box, internal cushioning and straps. Take photos before handover and use a brief checklist to document the shipment.
Why correct packaging matters
Courier runs in passenger cars behave differently from pallet freight. Sudden braking, tight cargo spaces and short trips can damage small or fragile items. Good packaging reduces breakages, queries and delays. It also protects against moisture and abrasion.
Basic rules before you pack
Choose a suitable outer container (sturdy cardboard or reusable crates). Match internal cushioning to weight and fragility. Prevent loose parts: secure everything. Label the package clearly with sender, recipient and contact phone.
Recommended materials for common B2B items
Light fragile parts: bubble wrap, foam inserts or corrugated dividers. Electronics: anti‑static wrap plus foam form inserts. Samples, documents, spare parts: flat boxes with firm inserts and a moisture barrier such as PE bags. Heavier components: wooden frames or robust reusable boxes with internal bracing to prevent movement.
Securing contents and interior layout
Fill voids with appropriate material (foam, paper, air cushions). Allow 3–5 cm cushioning space between product and outer wall. Use dividers for multiple items. Seal openings with strong tape and reinforce corners. Mark fragile sides or lift points if needed.
Photo documentation and handover steps
Photograph the packed shipment from several angles: labels, serial numbers, an interior shot before sealing and the sealed outer box. Save photos with the order number. Use a short handover checklist: package count, weight, visible damage, address, phone. Send the transport note to the courier electronically.
Labelling, restrictions and liability
Label fragile items and indicate top side. Do not ship dangerous or temperature‑sensitive goods without prior agreement. Record any special arrangements (disassembly, on‑site assembly) in the order notes.
Frequently asked questions
Which box size should I use?
Use a box that leaves 3–5 cm of padding around the item. Too large invites movement; too small causes pressure points.
How many photos are enough?
Take at least four exterior photos (all sides) and one interior image before sealing. Add close‑ups for high‑value items or serial numbers.
Do electronics need special packing?
Yes. Use anti‑static wrapping and shaped foam inserts. Secure them so contacts and connectors are not stressed.
What should I note on the handover form?
Order number, package count, weight, sender/recipient, visible defects, photo links, handover time and name of the person handing over.
