When you need to send a parcel, there are many options available to you. Perhaps the most popular and the most reliable is hiring a courier. In some instances, a courier will pick up an item from your home, and at other times you will have to go to an office or depot to drop it off. Whichever option you have available, it is always important to package your item properly. If you want to ensure that your item will reach the destination in the best possible condition, pay close attention to the manner in which it is packed.
For those delicate items, or even for any item, the most important aspect of packing is almost always padding. Whether you choose to opt for bubble wrap or just scrunched up newspaper, making sure that there is no possibility for the item to clatter against anything which might damage it is incredibly important.
Remember to think about space; everywhere there is an empty space, fill it with paper and padding to ensure that nothing can come loose and cause damage. Empty space is the enemy and should be filled to prevent damage in all circumstances.
One you have padded you item properly, it is important to consider how it will be transported. By far the easiest method is to find a strong cardboard box. Other materials will likely be heavier and cost more money. Find a box which is slightly larger than your item and then place the item inside. Again, be sure to fill any available space with paper or bubble wrap, anything to stop the item moving around inside. On the item is secure inside, close the box and tape up the flaps. Use the strongest tape available and cover any seem. Now all you need to do is wait for the courier.
