Luggage and Bags packing

Luggage and Bags
When shipping items with a finish that may be damaged by adhesive labels and soiled during transit e.g., luggage, garment bags, carrying cases), protect them by placing them in an outer shipping container.

Irregular Shapes
When shipping items that cannot be packed into cartons (e.g., auto pipes, mufflers, tires, duffel bags), wrap any sharp edges and protrusions. Plus, wrap the address label securely around the object.
Sealing your package properly keeps your box intact and the contents secure inside.

Recommended Three-Strip Taping Method
• Use pressure-sensitive plastic tape at least 2” (5.08 cm) wide (3” [7.62 cm] width preferred) for lightweight packages.
• Use water-activated paper tape (minimum 3” [7.62 cm] width, 60-pound grade) or water-activated reinforced tape to seal heavier packages.
• Distribute the tape evenly across flaps and seams, using the H taping method shown.
• Apply at least 3 strips of tape to the top and bottom sides of the carton. (See Fig. 4)
• Tape across all seams and flaps.

Note: Sealing your package is as important as cushioning. If the box flaps open in transit, you’re likely to lose the cushioning and the contents.
