Built around your operation

Protection needs a packing plan, not just a fragile sticker.

Practical details, clear instructions and a fulfilment process shaped around your products.

01

Start with the product and its existing packaging

Share the item’s dimensions, weight, material, weak points and supplier packaging. A retail carton may be designed for a shelf rather than a parcel network. Tell us about previous damage patterns and any manufacturer handling instructions so we can assess the proposed warehouse and packing requirements.

02

Test representative baskets

Check a single item, several identical items and a mixed order. Internal movement, product-to-product contact and heavy items beside delicate products can change the protection required. Agree the outer packaging, separation and cushioning for each common combination rather than relying on one sample box.

03

Turn the packing method into clear instructions

Document the materials and sequence: how an item is wrapped, where it sits and what separates it from other products. Include the treatment of lids, pumps, handles or loose parts. Specify when an unusual order should be held for a decision instead of packed by assumption.

04

Check carrier acceptance and cover

Different services can have restrictions and exclusions affecting particular goods. Confirm acceptance, packaging conditions and available cover for the intended service before dispatch. Protective packing reduces avoidable risks but cannot guarantee damage-free delivery or create cover that the carrier does not offer.

05

Make damage exceptions traceable

Agree what happens when stock arrives damaged or a defect is found during picking. Keep affected items separate from available stock and define who receives the exception report. Returns instructions should distinguish reusable goods from damaged, leaking or uncertain-condition products.

06

Price the extra handling honestly

Protective materials, packing time, carton sizes and additional checks all affect cost. Send representative baskets, expected orders, product samples and destinations for assessment. A tailored quote should show the work required to protect your goods rather than assuming ordinary handling is sufficient.

Straight answers

Your questions, answered.

Can you guarantee nothing will break?

No. The product, packaging, carrier handling and delivery conditions all affect risk. We agree a practical packing method and exception process.

Can you use my packaging?

We can assess client-supplied materials and document their use where suitable for the product and dispatch service.

Can fragile orders go internationally?

Suitability depends on the product, packaging, destination and service conditions. These must be confirmed as part of the quote.
