Cross-border trade goods need to be transported from one country to another, and the journey is long and bumpy. In order to transport the goods to overseas intact, in addition to choosing a reliable logistics company, sellers also need to pay more attention to the packaging of the goods. So how to package the goods to minimize the possibility of damage to the goods?
1. Packaging materials
In the selection of packaging materials, sellers can choose polyethylene and polyurethane outer packaging. On the one hand, these materials are relatively light, and on the other hand, they have a high carrying capacity. At the same time, these two materials are relatively environmentally friendly and meet the environmental protection concept of overseas buyers.
If it is a fragile product, the seller also needs to add fillers such as foam paper or foam. Try to avoid leaving gaps, otherwise the goods are more likely to collide and break. It is recommended that sellers add fragile signs on the outer packaging to avoid violent sorting by couriers to a certain extent.
2. The size of the box
Try to choose a box of the right size. If the box is too large, the seller will not only need to add more fillers, but also require higher freight. Because whether it is charged by size or weight, a box that is too large will cause additional freight. In addition, the filler itself also requires a certain cost, so sellers need to buy boxes according to the size of the product.
3. Waterproof packaging
When the goods are shipped overseas, it is inevitable that they will encounter rainy days on the road or come into contact with water for other reasons. Sellers should do a good job of waterproofing when packaging, such as packaging with waterproof materials. If the goods are wet and the products are damaged, buyers are likely to either return them or give bad reviews. Either way, it will be troublesome for sellers.
4. Cater to holiday marketing
If it is a holiday promotion, sellers can pay more attention to the outer packaging. Choosing outer packaging that matches the festive atmosphere can increase buyers’ favor. Of course, sellers should pay attention to the timeliness of holiday products, so if the outer packaging needs to be changed, it is necessary to plan in advance to avoid affecting the arrival time.
5. Order slip
Order slips can help sellers confirm that the goods are consistent with the address, and more orders need to be processed during the peak season. If too many goods are packed at one time, it is easy to confuse the goods and the address. This mistake is wrong for at least two orders. Buyers have every reason to receive the wrong goods and give bad reviews.
Putting the order slip in the box and confirming it again before sealing can greatly reduce the error rate. Although this may seem troublesome in the early stages, it can help sellers avoid greater troubles and also avoid reducing the favor of buyers.
