Packaging Criteria
One Easy Stop Packaging Guidelines
To ensure the safe and secure transit of your shipments, please adhere to the following packaging guidelines when using One Easy Stop.
Select a New, Rigid Box
Use a new, rigid box with flaps intact that is strong enough for your goods. Refer to our Box Strength Guidelines for appropriate box selection.
Weight-Based Box Recommendations
Over 10kg: Double-lined corrugated box.
Over 30kg: Triple-lined corrugated box.
Over 40kg: Rigid wooden box or pallet. Declare pallet dimensions at the point of booking.
Pallet Usage Considerations
Note that some carriers like UPS may not accept pallets and may remove them if used. Declare pallet dimensions during booking to receive accurate quotes from pallet-accepting couriers.
Label and Marking Removal
Remove any labels and markings from the box.
Secure Box Closure
Use strong shipping tape, ensuring secure closure with tape running three times in both directions across the box and joints.
Cushioning and Filling
Use adequate cushioning material and fill the box completely to prevent movement or empty spaces inside.
Protection for Fragile Items
For large, fragile items like electronic equipment or machinery, suspend the product inside the box using molded polystyrene specifically tailored to the product.
Isolation of Products
Ensure products do not touch the walls of the box and are suspended in packaging material.
Individual Wrapping
Wrap all items separately.
Avoid Outer Encasement
Do not encase the outer packaging with paper or plastic, and refrain from using string.
Address Labeling
Use a single address label with both delivery and return information. Place a duplicate address label inside the package.
Palletization for Heavy Shipments
If the package weighs more than 70 kg, palletize the goods.
Accessibility for Loading
Ensure that goods are accessible for vehicle loading using a tail-lift, as One Easy Stop does not provide removal or lifting services.
By following these guidelines, you contribute to the safe and reliable delivery of your shipments through One Easy Stop. For any further clarification or assistance, please contact our customer support team.
At a Glance
Use Good Strong Packaging
Select a sturdy and durable box that is appropriate for the size and weight of your item.
Add Lots of Cushioning
Use ample cushioning material inside the box to provide a protective barrier around your item. This could include bubble wrap, foam peanuts, or other suitable materials.
Wrap Your Item Well
Wrap your item securely with bubble wrap or other protective materials. Ensure that fragile or delicate parts are adequately covered.
Seal the Box Well
Use strong packaging tape to seal the box securely. Make sure to reinforce all seams and corners to prevent the box from opening during transit.
Remember, the goal is to minimize movement within the box and provide a protective layer that absorbs any potential shocks or impacts during handling. Taking these steps will increase the chances of your item arriving at its destination in the same condition it was sent.
