Selling lots of clothes online, including dresses, is an extremely quick and easy way to get your own wardrobe in order and reach potential customers. What should I pack a dress in for shipping so it doesn't get damaged? And how do you send the parcel so it arrives at the right address? Here is the most important information!

What can the dress be packed in for shipping?

How do I pack a parcel of clothes, such as a dress? As a rule, these items are simple to ship - they are not subject to additional requirements and there is unlikely to be any concern about damage if they are well packed. However, the most important thing is choosing the right packaging for the volume - the dress in the parcel must have neither too little nor too much space, which seems crucial so that the contents do not get damaged or deformed in transit.

Depending on the size of the dress and the amount of space it takes up, the following are used for packaging m.in.:

• paper envelope for clothing;
• foliopaku for shipping clothes;
• cardboard box .

To further protect the dress in the parcel (especially in the envelope and cardboard box for shipping the garment), the open spaces can be filled with scrooge or wood wool. The garment itself is best wrapped in fine paper to protect against potential soiling, electrification or ragging in the box.

Evening gown shipping - what should I keep in mind?

Evening dresses are unique and beautiful creations, with many embellishments that are made of striking materials. It is therefore worth ensuring that they reach their new owner in the best possible condition.

How do you pack such garments for shipping? First of all, you need to take care that the packaging is appropriate to the size of the garment. Evening gowns often have many layers, draping or are on a circle, making the they really need a lot of space in the carton in order not to get destroyed . In this case, it is better to choose a larger cardboard box and fill it with scrooge or wood wool, rather than trying to stuff the creations into a box that is too small.

Another important element is how to put the dress into the package. In many cases, dresses are not suitable for ironing, so care must be taken to ensure that they do not crease. Because of the chance of rigid elements (e.g. sewn-on embellishments, bodice) you need to ensure that the components are laid without bending or unnecessary folding which will protect them from fracture or chipping.

If the dress has sharp accessories, such as buckle fastenings or specific embellishments, it is a good idea to secure them. All zips and fastenings should be unfastened and free parts, for example, additionally wrapped with foil or notched paper. The same can be done with decorative fastenings to protect them from scratches .

The evening dress prepared in this way, packed in a suitable box, can safely set off on its journey by Parcel Post®!
