How to pack a parcel for a safe journey

A few simple habits protect your goods from bumps, rain and cold on the road between Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

Good packing is the cheapest insurance you can buy.

Choose the right box

Use a sturdy, double-walled box that is only slightly larger than the item. Empty space lets things move.

Paper, bubble wrap or air cushions keep the item still. Shake the box gently – nothing should move.

Put the delivery address on the top and one side. Add “Fragile” or “This way up” where needed.
