When shipping computer discs, CD’s, or DVDs place each one in a protective sleeve, and package items tightly together. When shipping magnetic media like audio or video tapes, place all discs into a strong outer package with cushioning materials. Consider transferring magnetic media onto optical media like DVD or CD ROMS. If this is not possible, package discs in protective sleeves and place in the centre of a larger box. Size Matters Choose a box or container that is a little larger that the items to be packed, to allow protective packaging to be used inside the box. Under filled cartons may collapse. Overfilled cartons may burst.

When sending pre-packaged or pre-wrapped gift items, do not rely on the manufacturer’s display or presentation of packaging. It is recommended, you repack gifts in line with the advice on this page.
If you cannot do this, write the address and other information clearly on the outside of the package. Use large capital letters, black or dark blue ink to improve readability
If you are sending large, flat, flexible items, like maps, plans, posters, etc,, pack them flat between two rigid boards (like hardboard) or roll items and place in postal tubes. Note: Triangular tubes are less likely to be damaged than round tubes.
When shipping items like tools, knives and scissors, if possible pack sharp items in manufacturer-supplied protective packaging or in a dedicated case that will protect edges and points. Otherwise, protect edges and points with heavy non-corrugated cardboard, tape securely in place so it will not dislodge. Make sure the recipient knows of potential sharp items in package to avoid the possibility of injury during unpacking.
If you are shipping delicate or fragile items place item(s) in the centre of the carton, and make sure they are not in contact with the outside walls at any point Surround fragile items with adequate cushioning. If there is more than one item – for example cups and saucers – place cushioning around each item. ‘Fragile’ or ‘Handle with Care’ labels are for information only, and do not confer any magical protective powers!
Don’t use fabric bags as packaging. Don’t completely seal your package; customs officers may need to open it for inspection. Don’t use rope or string to seal boxes. It can break, and it can catch on other packages and cause damage. Do not rely on “Fragile” and “Handle with care” labels as a substitute for careful packaging.
