A successful international delivery doesn’t start when the plane takes off; it starts with how you pack your box. Proper packaging is both an art and a science, and the experts at the DHL Express office in Gulberg have seen it all. Follow their essential tips to ensure your items arrive in perfect condition.

The Golden Rule: Pack to survive a journey, not just for presentation. Assume your box will be handled multiple times.

Choose the Right Box: Use a new, corrugated cardboard box that is strong enough for the contents. Avoid used boxes that have lost their structural integrity.

Cushioning is Key: Use bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or air cushions to protect your item. There should be at least 2 inches of cushioning on all sides of the item inside the box. Make sure nothing moves when you shake the box gently.

‍Seal Securely: Use strong plastic packing tape to seal all seams and openings. Do not use string, cello tape, or masking tape, as they are not strong enough.

Waterproofing: If shipping documents or moisture-sensitive items, place them in a sealed plastic bag inside the box for an extra layer of protection.

Address Clearly: Place a clear, printed address label both inside the box and on the outside. This ensures the shipment can still be delivered if the external label is damaged.

When in doubt, the staff at the Gulberg office can provide professional packaging materials and even assist with packing for fragile or high-value items. It’s a small investment that guarantees your shipment’s safety.

Pack Smart, Ship with Confidence.
