Electronics have the potential to become damaged during shipment, resulting in unexpected financial loss, time, and frustration. When shipping valuable packages, including computers and electronics, it is important to ship them correctly to prevent damages. There are several things that must be done, including proper labeling and packaging to protect these products. The following information was created to help individuals who are sending packages containing electronics and other valuables. We will explore how to label and package these items to ensure that they arrive safely.
Protect Electronic Batteries
The majority of electronic devices contain lithium-ion batteries. These rechargeable cells require extra precautions when shipping because they are more powerful than other types of batteries.
You can protect these packages with several tips, including:
- Don’t Disconnect Removable Batteries
- Cover and Secure Power Buttons to Avoid Accidental Turn-On of Devices
- Place Device Inside Plastic to Avoid Static Electricity
Lithium-ion batteries are at a higher risk of damages resulting from heat and static electricity. Heat and static put these devices at a risk of short circuiting and/or potentially catching fire.
Proper Packaging
Choose a sturdy box that is larger than the item you are shipping and wrap it in bubble wrap and tape. You should then utilize another box, placing the first box inside another, to sufficiently protect items. You should place layers of padding inside both boxes to minimize the vibration during transit. Pack the box as tightly as you can, using bubble wrap, foam, and packaging tape.
Note: Do not use polystyrene, also known as packing peanuts, these increase the risk of static electricity.
You must also be sure to label your package accordingly. Those who are transporting it should be warned that the contents are fragile.
Proper packaging and labeling have the potential to guarantee that your products will arrive in the manner in which you intended.
