Proper Packaging Encouraged
“Why take a chance of
dampening someone’s
holiday spirit by sending
poorly wrapped Christmas
gifts through the mail,”
Postmaster James M. Bond
asks?
According to Postmaster
Bond, customers can be
more assured that their gifts
will arrive in good condition
if the following packaging
tips are followed.
A single item in a package
should be cushioned with
shredded paper, excelsior,
compressed tissue paper,
cloth, or expanded plastic
foam. If two or more items
are in the same carton,
cushioning material should
protect items from contact
with each other, and each
item should have its own
individual inner carton.
Fiberboard containers,
including large soap, cereal
boxes, etc. larger than the
gift being mailed should be
cut down to about the size of
the gift to minimize shifting
of contents in transit.
However, breakable items
should have at least one inch
clearance between the sides
of the boxes and the item to
provide adequate room for

cushioning.
Fiberboard should have
“pound test” strength of at
least 175. This is usually
shown in the box maker’s
certificate on the bottom of
the box.
Fragile articles must te
individually cushioned, and
all four sides of the con
tainer should be padded
with cushioning material.
Tape used to close con
tainers should be reinforced
and should cover and firmly
secure all flaps.
When paper must be used
for the outer wrapping it
should be at least equal in
quality and strength to the
kraft stock used for grocery
bags. However, it is
preferable that paper
wrappers be omited if the
box itself constitutes an
adequate shipping con
tainer.
Proper packaging is
particularly important for
books and records. Because
of their weight, books should
be cushioned so they
cannot shift within the box.
It is not desirable to ship
more than 25 lbs. of books in
one package.
The thin, long-playing
Page 5-B
records should be placed in
a carton which is at least
one-fourth of an inch thick.
Each package should
contain the name and ad
dress of the person to whom
it is being mailed inside the
package as well as outside.
An address contained inside
is assurance that it will be
received promptly even if
the outside address should
become lost or obliterated.
Be sure to put your return
address on the package.
And, finally, address the
package correctly and
legibly, so that it can be
read at two feet. Be sure to
include the ZIP Code. (Call
482-2611 if you don’t know
your ZIP Code.) Mail with
the proper ZIP Code is
processed more rapidly.
When addressing mail to a
foreign country be sure to
spell out the country’s name
in full. Do not abbreviate.
Be sure to put only one
mailing address on the
outside of the parcel. Do not
address one more than one
side.
