Guide to Packing

Our network of agents goes to great lengths to ensure that you pack your belongings as safely and securely as possible to withstand the rigours of transit by sea, air and road. For this reason they will supply you with the best quality cartons and packaging materials.

Made from industrial-strength three-ply cardboard, their cartons come in a wide range of sizes to meet your needs - with some designed to accommodate even your most awkwardly shaped items such as bikes and guitars. And, to ensure that all your excess luggage or belongings are given complete protection, their cartons come with top-quality tape, industry-standard bubble wrap, good-quality wrapping paper, and the very best tissue paper for your most fragile possessions.

Tips on Packing Excess Luggage

  • 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.

How to order? Once you have decided on the excess luggage you plan to send, and calculated your requirements, simply call +44 (0)20 8324 2022 or email imports@excess-baggage.com. We will arrange for one of our network partners to contact you to discuss your carton & delivery requirements.
