USPS offers the following packaging tips:
-
Select a box that is strong enough to protect the contents.
-
Leave space for cushioning inside the carton.
-
Cushion package contents with shredded or rolled newspaper, bubble wrap or Styrofoam packing. Plain, air-popped popcorn also is good for cushioning – it's inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Pack tightly to avoid shifting.
-
Always use tape that is designed for shipping, such as pressure-sensitive tape, nylon-reinforced craft paper tape or glass-reinforced pressure-sensitive tape.
-
Do not use wrapping paper, string, masking tape or cellophane tape.
-
Put the delivery and return address on only one side on the package.
-
Place a return address label inside the package.
-
Stuff glass and fragile hollow items, such as vases, with newspaper or packing material to avoid damage to shock. When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately.
-
Remove batteries from toys. Wrap and place them next to the toys in the mailing box.
-
Take packages that weigh at least one pound to the Post Office for mailing.
-
Purchase packaging products, including tape, envelopes, padded bags, corrugated boxes, mailing tubes and cushioning material from the Post Office. Some locations offer decorative boxes and expander packs that are suitable for mailing gifts.
