Packing and shipping supplies

Browse packaging materials and guidance for protecting shipments.

Select packaging that protects the contents, withstands normal sortation, and keeps labels flat and scannable.

Document envelopes

Rigid or padded mailers for contracts, certificates, and lightweight documents.

Parcel boxes

New, corrugated boxes with enough room for cushioning on every side.

Cushioning and void fill

Bubble wrap, paper, foam, or molded inserts suited to the item’s weight and fragility.

Labels and pouches

Weather-resistant labels and document pouches for shipping and customs paperwork.

Packaging is the first layer of shipment protection.

Service details

Plan the shipment with confidence

Choose the right outer container

Use a new or structurally sound corrugated box rated for the item weight. Avoid gift boxes, storage cartons, string, paper wrapping, and containers weakened by moisture or previous use.

Immobilize the contents

Wrap items separately and maintain cushioning between each item and every wall of the carton. Fragile goods should survive normal vibration, conveyor movement, and short drops during sortation.

Seal and label correctly

Use pressure-sensitive packing tape across every opening. Place one clear label on the largest flat surface and remove or fully cover old labels, routing marks, and barcodes.

What to have ready

Documents and shipment information

Complete information reduces avoidable handling, billing, and clearance delays.

  • Internal packing list for multi-item consignments
  • Battery marks or regulated labels when applicable
  • Commercial documents outside the box when required
  • A duplicate address label inside high-value shipments

Common questions

What customers should know

Can I reuse a box?

Only when it remains rigid and undamaged. Remove or fully cover all old labels and barcodes.

Where should the label go?

Place it on the largest flat surface without wrapping it over an edge or seam.
