PACKAGING HINTS AND TIPS

  • Where available, purpose built containers should always be used.
  • If a purpose-built container is not available, place approximately 3-9cm of cushioned packing around every item.
  • Separate individual items in the same container with fixed packing.
  • Packing must be tightly pressed into position and present a firm buffer protecting the edges and corners.
  • All space within the container must be filled so that there is no danger of the container collapsing under external pressure - its better to use too much packing than too little.
  • If you are recycling containers, take care to ensure that they have sufficient strength and rigidity for the size and weight of the item to be packed.
  • Check that there are no holes, tears, rips or corner dents and all flaps are intact.
  • Remove all other labels to prevent delivery to the wrong destination - it's particularly important to remove or deface all barcodes that are not part of the current transport details.
  • Make sure that all flaps are secured, particularly with recycled containers which will probably need more attention.
  • Strapping and banding is not recommended for soft containers, which may distort in transit due to movement or pressure - if you do use straps or bands, ensure that labels or barcodes aren't obscured. No metal banding is allowed.

Packing recommendations
To reduce the risk of shock damage and movement inside the package, we recommend you use one or a combination of the following packing materials:
  • Loose fill packing, e.g. polystyrene chips.
  • Expanded polystyrene foam.
  • Polystyrene sheets or blocks.
  • Bubble wrap.
  • Foam rubber.
  • Screwed up newspaper or any other similar item.
Parcel

Remember to use the postcode

Because Interlink Express depots use the QAS (Quick Address System) which relies on full postcodes, it's vital that you include them on all your packages.
To make sure you have the correct postcode, simply call your local depot.

Labelling your parcel

If you make sure you follow our simple labelling direction, you'll help us deliver a better service:

  • Remove all other labels, in particular remove or deface al barcodes that are not part of the current transport details.
  • If you have an ACCORD or an automatic packaging system, ensure the surface where the label is applied is clean and dry and the label is not wrinkled, as this makes the barcode unreadable.
  • Place the label or consignment note in the are marked on the largest side of the parcel and not over seams or corners.
  • The full delivery address and full delivery postcode should be on every package in the consignment. Please make sure that any parcel banding does not obscure the consignment note.
  • Please refer to the examples opposite of the correct and incorrect way to label a parcel:
