Packaging materials: Use quality packaging materials, such as sturdy carton boxes, foam, airbags, and tape.
Protect goods: Make sure goods are carefully protected inside the box, avoiding movement and impact during transportation.
Labeling: Label clearly with sender and recipient information, and warning signs if the goods are fragile or require special handling.
