I'm planning to send a few pieces of soft, fragile items with UPS, how should I package perishable items to prevent damage?

Perishable packaging refers to the materials and methods used to package items with a limited shelf life or that are susceptible to spoilage if not handled and stored properly. These items are frequently affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and air exposure.
Following these packaging and shipping tips can help your perishable items arrive in good condition and ready to use.
• Choose a Strong Box: Choose a box that can withstand the weight of other packages on top and rough handling during transit.
• Cushion Perishable Items: Use peanuts or bubble wrap to cushion the box. This prevents them from shifting or bumping during transport, reducing damage.
• Label "Perishable": Clearly label the package. These labeling alerts UPS handlers and the recipient that the contents need special handling to stay fresh.
• Maintain Temperature: If you're shipping perishables like food or flowers, keep them cool. Use a perishable cooler or ice packs in the box. This keeps items fresh and prevents spoilage.
• Ship the package as soon as possible after packaging to reduce transit time. Long-term transport of perishable goods increases the risk of spoilage. If you did everything right but your package arrived damaged, we can help you to let it be known. Don't forget to write to Xolvie!
