International shipping packaging is a complex process. It requires parties to understand and comply with many regulations and standards for packaging. To ensure smooth international shipping and minimize loss or damage during takeoff, Hoang Phuc Pack provides the following useful article.

1. International Shipping Packaging Regulations and Standards

First, we need to understand the meaning of the two terms regulations and standards. Many people may not distinguish between these two terms because they seem similar, as both are things we need to follow.

Regulations are issued by the carrier and are mandatory. Compliance with regulations prevents airlines from encountering difficulties when arranging and delivering goods to the recipient.
Standards are recommendations from the carrier to the sender. Senders voluntarily apply them. They are necessary to ensure the safety of goods and the interests of the sender more than the airline. Therefore, although not mandatory, senders should understand the stated standards to protect their goods from adverse conditions during shipping.

Below are some of the most important international shipping packaging regulations and standards that anyone wishing to ship goods abroad must understand. In addition, readers should proactively learn about any additional regulations from their chosen carrier to ensure they do not miss out on any benefits.

1.1. International Shipping Packaging Regulations

Weight and dimensions of goods: Determine the circumference, volume, and weight of the package to select the appropriate packaging method, save costs, and easily calculate the shipping fee.
Order information: Fill in the package information completely, clearly, and in detail, including the name of the goods, weight, volume, and quantity in the package. In addition, attach specialized labels if necessary. The order information should be displayed on the outside so that handlers can easily understand it.
Sender and recipient information: Write the full name, address, and contact information of the sender and recipient. This information should be attached on the outside and also placed inside the package in case the information on the outside is lost or faded, so the carrier can still find the owner's information.

1.2. International Shipping Packaging Standards

Goods should be wrapped in multiple layers to prevent damage during long-distance shipping and harsh storage conditions.

Fragile goods: Goods should be wrapped in 5 layers in the following order: paper layer - foam layer - plastic layer - 2-layer cardboard box - 5-layer cardboard box. The outside of the box should have a fragile goods symbol.
Electronic goods and equipment: Foam - bubble wrap - 2 layers of foam on both sides - 5-layer cardboard box.
Machinery: Use cardboard sheets to wrap around the product (or PE shrink wrap) - add a wooden box (pallet boards).
Wooden goods: PE shrink wrap - wrap around with 3-layer cardboard, seal all surrounding surfaces. In addition, we can wrap bubble wrap around the shipment to ensure the safety of the product.
Paintings and photos: Foam padding - wrapping paper - bubble wrap - 3-layer cardboard box.

2. Steps for International Shipping Packaging

Step 1: Measure, assess, and classify goods
Step 2: Package according to international shipping packaging standards (see instructions 1.2)
Step 3: Seal the goods
Step 4: Complete the goods information and delivery address. Display the information according to the packaging regulations (review instructions 1.1)

3. Notes on international packaging

Unlike goods transported normally by road, internationally delivered goods face more risks during delivery, transportation, and receipt. Therefore:

Do not package poorly: Use multiple wrapping materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic bags, bubble wrap, air pillows, PE film, adhesive tape, 2-ply, 3-ply, 5-ply, 7-ply cardboard boxes... (All packaging materials are available at Hoang Phuc Pack)
