Packaging checklist for small and spare parts
Actionable checklist and material tips for shipping small and spare parts by courier in Switzerland. For production, warehouse and after‑sales teams.
Quick answer
Use this concise packaging checklist to ship small and spare parts safely by courier within Switzerland. It covers material selection, cushioning, securing, labelling and quick quality checks. The steps reduce damage and returns.
Overview: purpose and users
This checklist helps Swiss businesses that send small parts and spare parts by courier. It aims to reduce transport damage, simplify handling and lower return rates. Use it in production, warehouse and customer service.
Choose the right packaging
Pick packaging according to weight, shape and sensitivity. Flat items fit padded envelopes or shallow boxes. Fragile or irregular parts need corrugated boxes (C‑ or B‑flute). Protect sharp edges first with edge protectors made of cardboard or foam.
Cushioning and securing
Fill voids with bubble wrap, foam inserts, crumpled paper or corrugated wrap. Secure parts to prevent movement. Use solvent‑free tape and foam adhesive strips where needed. For sets or small items, include dividers or labelled bags.
Protect surfaces and mechanisms
Prevent scratches and contamination: wrap delicate surfaces in film or fleece. Use acid‑free paper for parts sensitive to lubricants. Lock moving parts in position or use straps so nothing loosens in transit.
Labelling, documents and traceability
Place clear shipping labels on a flat side. Include packing slips or QR codes with order and part numbers. Record serial or batch numbers when needed. Use barcodes or RFID for internal traceability.
Quick pre‑shipping checks
Run a short check: visual inspection, functional test, correct placement and enough cushioning. A shake test (gently from arm’s length) shows unwanted movement. Record sample checks in a simple log.
Frequently asked questions
What box size should I use?
Select a box with enough room for cushioning but not overly large. Leave about 2–5 cm around the item for filler material.
When should I bag individual pieces?
Use bags for small screws, seals and electronic parts to avoid loss and mix‑ups.
How do I test the packaging quickly?
Do a visual check, the shake test and a low‑height drop test onto a soft surface for samples. Listen for movement or rattling.
What label details matter most?
Customer, order number, part number, quantity, and when relevant batch or serial numbers and a fragile notice.
