Importance of Safe and Lightweight Packing​

When shipping with AirJIT, your parcel will typically be placed in the traveler's suitcase alongside their personal belongings. This makes it crucial to pack your items securely, ensuring they are both lightweight and easy to unpack and repack. Proper packing not only protects your items from damage but also makes the traveler's journey smoother, reducing the risk of issues during transit.

  • Lightweight Packaging: Use lightweight but durable materials to keep the total weight of your parcel as low as possible. This helps reduce shipping costs and makes it easier for the traveler to carry.

  • Flexible Padding: Use materials like bubble wrap, foam sheets, or air pillows that provide good cushioning without adding significant weight. Ensure padding is flexible enough to fit into tight spaces within a suitcase.

  • Simple Sealing: Secure your parcel with strong packing tape, but avoid over-sealing. The traveler may need to inspect the contents, so packing should allow for easy unpacking and repacking.

  • Clear Labeling: Clearly label your parcel with handling instructions such as "Fragile" or "Handle with Care." Consider using labels that are easy to read but won't get damaged or peeled off during transit.

Preventing Damage in Transit​

  • Secure Fragile Items: Wrap fragile items individually and place them in the center of the package, surrounded by cushioning material. Ensure they won't collide with other items in the traveler's suitcase.

  • Avoid Overpacking: Do not overstuff the package, as this can cause items to be crushed when the traveler packs their luggage. Leave some space for cushioning and flexibility.

  • Use Protective Cases: For electronics or valuable items, consider using hard protective cases that can withstand pressure from other items in the suitcase.

  • Lightweight Structure: Ensure that the overall structure of the package is sturdy enough to protect the contents but not so rigid that it can't be repacked easily.

Compliance with AirJIT Guidelines​

  • Weight and Size Limits: Adhere to AirJIT's weight limit of 20 kg per parcel and ensure your parcel's dimensions fit within standard suitcase sizes.

  • Loose Packing: Keep the packing loose enough to be easily unpacked and repacked by the traveler, but secure enough to prevent movement inside the suitcase.

  • Prohibited Items: Do not include any prohibited items as listed by AirJIT. Ensure that your parcel complies with all customs and regulatory requirements.

  • Documentation: Include all necessary documents, such as customs declarations or proof of ownership, inside the package where they are easily accessible to the traveler.

By following these packing guidelines, you can help ensure that your parcel is safely and efficiently transported in the traveler's luggage, reducing the risk of damage and making the process smoother for both you and the traveler.
