Best Practices for Shipping Printed Products

1. Choose the right packaging. The packaging should be strong enough to protect the product from damage, but not so heavy that it adds significantly to the shipping cost. Corrugated cardboard boxes are a good option for many printed products.
   
2. Pad the product well. Use bubble wrap, foam peanuts, or other cushioning materials to protect the product from bumps and jolts.
   
3. Tape the packaging securely. Use strong tape and make sure all flaps are securely sealed.
   
4. Label the package clearly. Include the recipient's name and address, the return address, and any special handling instructions.
   
5. Insure the package. This will protect you from financial loss if the package is lost or damaged in transit.
   
6. Track the package. This will allow you to see where the package is at all times and to contact the carrier if there are any problems.
