What is manufacturer’s transport packaging?

Manufacturer’s transport packaging is the original packaging designed by the manufacturer for the safe transportation of the product. It protects the item against impact, vibration, and pressure and allows the package to be pushed, pulled, or dragged. The packaging must be rigid, reinforced, include internal protective materials (e.g. foam), and be clearly marked with transport symbols such as “Fragile” (e.g. packaging used for televisions or household appliances).

If an individual parcel weighs more than 25 kg but is not packed in manufacturer’s transport packaging, it must, in all cases, be placed on a pallet and packaged in accordance with DPD parcel packaging.
