How to pack a parcel
Choose a suitable package
Boxes shall be shock resistant, with similar and even corners, and preferably unused. After placing the item the empty space in the box must be filled with packing material that prevents the item from moving or breaking during transportation. It is prohibited to place an item in the box that exceeds the weight the box can withstand.
Pack your items accordingly
Goods sensitive to moisture and dust should be placed in a plastic bag. Fragile objects must be packed separately, in bubble film or cotton wool, and then placed in a box in such a way that they are not damaged when faced with the edges of the box during transportation.

Make sure the shipment is properly secured on the pallet
The consignment must be stable on the pallet so that it cannot tilt and fall on other shipments during transportation.

Use pallets of appropriate quality
Pallets must withstand the weight of the shipment and remain intact during handling and transport. Ensure the shipment is securely fastened to a Euro pallet (EPAL) with standard dimensions of 120 x 80 cm. The total pallet height must not exceed 160 cm.
Proper address format on the shipment
Address record on domestic shipments
The address on a shipment consists of several consecutive parts: street, house name or number, apartment number, city or village, parish, municipality, and postal code. Shipments can also be addressed to a post office - in this case recipient's name, surname as well as mobile phone must be indicated.
Address record on international shipments
For international shipments, write the address using Latin letters and Arabic numerals, according to the language of the destination country. Write the country name in capital letters in the destination country’s language. For shipments to the United States of America, write the entire address in capital letters.
