Firm and intact packaging prevents loss or damage of your shipment; protects your shipment from moisture, friction, shock, and pressure/temperature changes; and prevents your shipment from hurting the operator or spilling over the transportation facilities, ground facilities and other equipment. |
Principle of Convenient Handling Packing |
Your packaged good(s) should fit your shipment's nature, condition, and weight; the outer surface should be clean and dry with no odor or grease; the outer surface should be smooth without any nails, hooks, spines, etc. for convenient handling. |
Principle of Appropriate Packing |
Appropriate packaging and filling should be used according to the shipment's size, weight, and delivery method to prevent damage caused by insufficient packing material. |
Principle of Protective Packing |
The outer packaging should be integrated with the protective material, cushioning material and contents of the cargo; if there are multiple contents, there should be no friction, collision, squeezing, or swaying between the contents and the inner wall of the outer packaging. |

For fragile goods such as ceramics, glass products, dedicated handicrafts, etc., padded shock-proof materials shall be placed around the inside of the package. Each fragile goods shall be packaged separately with shock-proof materials such as foam or bubble paper. |
