Packaging Guide for Pakistan Post Parcels | Process & FAQs

Sending a parcel via Pakistan Post is a convenient and budget-friendly option. Still, it is more important to properly package your item to ensure it arrives at its destination in sound condition. In this guide, I’ll give you some tips on Packaging Guide for Pakistan Post. These guidelines cover the parcel wrapping process for safe delivery.

Materials Requirements:

• Envelope (for letters & documents ) or Box
• Transparent Tape
• Bubble Wrap or other cushioning material
• Fillers (e.g. newspaper, foam peanuts)

Step 1: Choose the Appropriate Box Size

Above all, the state of packaging your parcel is choosing the right container/box. It may vary as per the size and dimension of the product you want to enclose.

For instance, boxes are best for larger or bulkier items; conversely, envelopes are usually suitable for papers and mini things.

Step 2: Use Some Cushioning Material

Secondly, it is essential to use cushioning material, as bubble wrap is the best protective accessory to avoid any damage during transit. Just wrap it around the item and ensure all sides are equally covered.

In contrast, if you use a hard carton box, fill its empty areas with old newspaper or foam peanuts. By doing this practice, the product stays in its place and prevents any brokerage.

Step 3: Tape the Carton

Is it done with packing?

It’s time to seal the box or envelope using transparent or heavy-duty tape.

Go through all sides, and don’t leave any edge uncovered. Reinforcing the seams and corners with some additional tape is a good idea.

Step 4: Label at the Front

Write the recipient’s name, address, and phone number on the front side. Use a dark or permanent marker and make text readable for the holder. Meanwhile, on the backside, write your return address in case the package cannot be delivered or is rejected by the receiver.

Additional Tips:

• Never overload the carton, as this can cause it to break when it gets pressurized.
• For a fragile item, always pay attention to packing; otherwise, you may bear the loss. As postal workers may not care for it well.
• Avoid using torn old or weak boxes, which can be easily damageable.
