Secure packaging
Packaging should suit the type, weight and durability of the sent item.
-
Outer packaging
How to pack safely?
Goods packed in two-ply boxes made of high quality, moisture-resistant cardboard are usually well protected. It is particularly important to protect the surface and protect the edges and corners of the parcel. New boxes are best. These used boxes are only suitable for strong items. The heavier the contents, the more solid the outer packaging should be.
-
Internal filling
How to pack safely?
Any voids inside the carton should be filled and the goods should not be able to move. The filling should be adapted to the goods being shipped, and in the case of heavy and/or sensitive items, matching polystyrene forms should be used. The goods should not come into direct contact with each other or with the external packaging.
-
Tape wrapping
How to pack safely?
The consignment should be wrapped with packing tape and sealed on all sides. The heavier or larger the parcels are sent, the stronger the tape should be. Robust, tight tape is essential for safe transport.
-
Address labeling
How to pack safely?
The label should be placed on the largest side of the parcel. Old stickers or return labels should be removed beforehand. Parcels should not be combined with each other, but sent separately. Each parcel should have its own label.
-
Parcel size and weight
How to pack safely?
In its distribution centres GLS uses an automated parcel sorting system, which allows for quick and economic delivery of parcels. As parcels cannot exceed certain dimensions, their movement is smooth and undisturbed.
An upper weight limit has also been set. The consignment can be delivered at maximum:
- be 200 centimetres long,
- weigh 31.5 kilograms in domestic and international trade,
- the sum of the circumference and the longest side of the parcel must not exceed 3 meters (we calculate it by summing 1 x longest side plus 2 x height plus 2 x width).
Using address labels
At selected Szybka Paczka points, you can get your parcel priced, addressed, and paid for on the spot.
There’s also another option – if you receive a parcel with a return label already included by the sender, you can use it to return the item free of charge at any GLS Szybka Paczka point.
For the dispatch confirmation, there’s no need to fill in the details by hand – the point’s staff will enter them on a tablet. The confirmation will be sent to you via SMS or email.
