Outer Packaging

Use a sturdy container

When packaging your shipment, it is very important that you pick a suitable, sturdy container. It is recommended that you use a durable, corrugated cardboard box for most shipments.

Box contents must not exceed the gross weight capacity of the box. Most box manufacturers indicate the weight capacity on the bottom flap.
If you are reusing a box, be sure that it is in good condition with all flaps intact, and that it is free of rips, punctures and tears, and of old labels and markings.
