Buying guide

Tips from packaging experts.

Practical advice for automotive parts businesses.

Match board to weight

Heavier parts need super strong boxes. Don't rely on a standard carton.

Cover sharp edges

Wrap bolts, flanges and sharp edges so they can't punch through the box.

Bag the small bits

Keep fittings and fasteners together in a resealable bag inside the box.

Tape heavy boxes in an H

Tape along the centre seam and across both edges on heavy cartons.
