Protect and Pack

Don't skimp on cushioning material. You can use shredded or crumpled newspaper, bubble wrap, or Styrofoam™ peanuts, or even plain air-popped popcorn. Pack items tightly to avoid shifting, and make sure the cushioning material covers all sides of the object.
If you're shipping several items together, wrap each one separately and provide enough cushioning to prevent movement.
Fragile items need extra protection:

• Hollow items - stuff with packing material to avoid damage due to shock. Cover handles or other protruding parts with extra padding and/or cardboard.

• Extremely fragile glass or ceramics - try double-boxing: pack the item as described, then place that box in a slightly larger box, with more cushioning material in between the boxes.

• Framed photographs or artwork - take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately.

• Computer equipment, circuit boards and memory - pad well and pack in an Electro Static Discharge (ESD) bag to prevent damaging static buildup.

• Electronic items - remove batteries and wrap them separately.

For extra identification, place a return address label inside the package.
After packing, gently shake the box. If nothing moves, it's ready to be sealed.
