Factory packaging usually corresponds to retail packaging, which is not sufficiently durable for transportation, automatic or manual sorting, reloading, or other logistics processes.

To ensure the safe delivery of a shipment, always place retail packaging into a transport-ready parcel. Choose a sturdy, appropriately sized corrugated cardboard box that protects the item from impacts, vibrations, and other transportation-related risks.

Factory packaging is intended for transporting uniform goods from the manufacturer to a wholesaler or retailer. Transport packaging, on the other hand, is designed to safely transport goods from the seller to the end customer, often together with other types of parcels.

If there are empty spaces inside the parcel, they must be filled. Suitable materials for filling voids include:

• cardboard dividers,

• bubble wrap,

• foam,

• paper shreds or foam granules.

Examples:

• Small household appliances: coffee machines, kettles, mixers;

• Electronics: phones, tablets, laptops, computer accessories;

• Other items in retail packaging.
