How to Pack Fragile Items for Courier

Fragile shipping fails when items can move inside the carton. Immobilize the product with wrap and void fill, use a strong enough box, then seal with proper H-taping.

Fragile pack-out steps

1. Wrap each fragile unit in bubble wrap or foam — cover corners and edges.
2. Choose a carton with room for cushioning on all sides.
3. Fill every void so nothing rattles when you shake-test the closed box.
4. Seal with packing tape using an H-pattern on top and bottom seams.
5. Mark orientation if the product must stay upright.

Common mistakes

• Using an oversized carton with newspaper that settles in transit
• Wrapping well but leaving empty corners
• Choosing 3-ply for heavy glass sets that need a stiffer shell
