Have you managed to sell clothes that are in good condition but no longer fit you? Or do you just want to give someone the gift of a brand new jacket? If so, all you need to do is package it properly and send it off. Find out what to send your jacket in and learn the general rules on how to pack clothes for shipping!
How can the jacket be packaged for shipping?
The packing process for shipment should begin by ensuring that the jacket is clean and dry . If it is dirty, it should be washed before packing. Then fasten all fastening elements such as zips or buttons to prevent them from being damaged during transport. Fold the jacket flat so that the sleeves are parallel to the rest of the jacket. Then all that remains is putting the jacket in the right size pack .
The rules on what to pack clothes in for shipping are not very complicated. However, be sure to secure and adjust the size of the foil pack, envelope or shipping carton to the volume of the clothes - in this case, the jacket.
Materials for packing the jacket for shipment
If you're wondering what to pack your jacket in for shipping, we've got good news - there are actually many possibilities! All you need to do is find old packaging, such as a cardboard box that is still in good condition. Instead, it's worth opting for a variety of packaging for shipping clothes. These include:
- cartoon,
- boxes,
- foliopaki.
However, it is better to forgo packing the jacket in a regular bag - it can easily be damaged during transport
In addition to this, it is also worth betting on some infill/protection. What could be useful?
- Bubble paper,
- Growing foam bags,
- Polystyrene filler.
Thanks to such products fill excessive space in the package . The jacket will not move freely on it and you will also protect it from rain and possible flooding.
If you use a pack that fits the jacket perfectly, fillers are not necessary. To better protect your garment, place it in an extra pouch beforehand.
What should I prepare to pack my jacket for shipping?
When preparing your jacket for shipping, don't forget:
- Appropriately sized packaging - if you are using old cardboard boxes, make sure they are in good condition. Such a package should not be too large, as it may exceed the dimensions. It should also not be too small, as it will be more likely to be damaged in transit.
- Fillers.
- Printed shipping label.
