When preparing your balikbayan box, make sure you have everything you need. First, gather a sturdy cardboard box, bubble wrap, tape, scissors, and markers. Sorting your items in advance can streamline the packing process. Here are some helpful tips.

Choose the right box: Choose a sturdy box that can support the weight of your items. Reinforce the bottom with tape to avoid damage during transportation.

Wrap fragile items: Use bubble wrap or newspaper to wrap fragile items such as glassware, ceramics, and electronics. Place it in the center of the box and fill in any gaps with wrapping paper or additional stuffing.

Pack heavy items toward the bottom: Place heavy items toward the bottom of the box to keep it stable. This also prevents light objects from shattering.

Secure your items with packaging tape: Use packaging tape to secure the contents of your boxes and prevent them from shifting during shipping.

Label the box: Label the box with your name, address, and contact information. This ensures that your shipment reaches its destination safely.

Please consider weight restrictions. Balikbayan boxes have weight restrictions. Therefore, please pack carefully so as not to exceed the limit.

Seal the box properly: Once the box is packed, seal it with tape. Please make sure the box is tightly closed to prevent the item from falling out during transport.

Track your shipment: Monitor the progress of your shipment using the tracking number provided by your shipping carrier. By following these tips, you can pack your balikbayan boxes efficiently and safely to ensure your items reach their destination intact.
