A garment travels through several sorting points before reaching the buyer. The outer pack should survive handling while the inner layer keeps it clean. Develop a repeatable pack for each product size, then weigh the finished parcel rather than copying the catalogue weight into every order.
01How do I pack clothes and sarees?
Fold neatly, protect the garment with a clean inner bag and use a tear-resistant outer mailer or box. Secure embellishments so they cannot puncture the pack. Keep the parcel dry and remove excess air without crushing the product. Weigh and measure the final pack, especially when several garments share a box.
02How do I choose the right box size?
Choose the smallest sturdy box that still leaves room for proper cushioning. Wrap the product, fill empty space and gently shake the sealed parcel; the contents should not move freely. A large empty box can raise volumetric charges, while a tight box can transfer impacts directly to the product.
03Should I weigh the product or the packed parcel?
Weigh the final sealed parcel with its box, fillers, tape and invoice pouch. Use a level surface and a scale that reads small enough increments for your weight slab. Record the reading before printing the label. Product catalogue weight alone can understate what the courier actually handles.
04How should I measure parcel dimensions?
Measure the outside length, breadth and height of the sealed package in centimetres, including bulges. Use the widest points, not the product’s inner dimensions. For a soft mailer, measure after packing and sealing. Keep the measuring tape visible in photographs if you may need evidence later.
05How do I print a readable shipping label?
Print at the size recommended by the label file, with a dark, sharp barcode and no clipped edges. Place it on a flat outer face, away from seams. Remove old labels from reused boxes. Avoid creases or shiny tape over the barcode and check that the AWB matches the parcel before handover.
Before your next shipment
- Protect embellishments and sharp accessories.
- Use a clean inner bag and sturdy outer pack.
- Match the final label to the order.
Examples are for planning. Your selected courier, booking quote and applicable policy determine the actual service and charges.
