01
Prevent glass-to-glass contact
Use cells, dividers, sleeves, trays or individual boxes to keep products separated. Protect vulnerable rims, handles, pumps and protruding decorations. The pack should restrict movement without placing damaging pressure on thin areas.
UPS recommends appropriate cushioning and identifies double boxing as an option for fragile goods. The exact solution should be validated for the product, shipment mode and distribution environment.
02
Balance protection and freight efficiency
Oversized cartons add void space and freight cost; cartons that are too tight may transfer impact directly to the glass. Compare pieces per carton, gross weight, carton dimensions and pallet utilization.
Confirm whether retail boxes are protective components or only presentation packaging. Decorative boxes may still require an export master carton and internal cushioning.
03
Specify the pallet and container plan
Define pallet size, cartons per layer, maximum stack height, edge protection, stretch wrapping and moisture controls. Ensure the bottom layers can support the planned load.
Before approval, request a packing sample or diagram and agree on test expectations. Photograph loaded pallets and container bracing to create a record of shipment condition.
- Confirm carton board and dimensions
- Prevent internal movement
- Protect decoration from abrasion
- Mark handling and product identification clearly
