  • All void spaces filled — no movement inside the box
  • Sealed with pressure-sensitive or water-activated tape (minimum 5 cm wide)
  • No string, twine, or wire as primary closure
  • Sharp edges protected to prevent puncture to other cargo
  • Fragile items double-boxed with minimum 5 cm of cushioning
