Guide to Packing

Always ensure that breakables are placed at the centre of the carton, away from edges, corners and sides. Use bubble wrap, wrapping paper or even soft materials such as clothing and linen to pack around fragile items and to fill spaces. Be certain not to leave space in a carton: pack as tightly as possible to prevent movement and the possibility of items being damaged.

• Don't put handling staff at risk from punctured cartons. Keep sharp objects away from edges or sides.

• Excess Baggage recommends that you avoid packing liquids such as wines, spirits or perfumes. There is always the chance they could leak, ruining your belongings and other people's. Moreover, such baggage shipping or luggage shipping incidents are not covered by insurance policies.
