The right boxes for DHL Paket 31,5 kg

At up to 31.5 kilograms the box quality is decisive. A sturdy outer carton with internal load distribution is essential.

• FEFCO 0201, double wall BC, robust standard for high edge strength and stacking stability.
• FEFCO 0201, reinforced version with higher compression strength, useful for point loads from metal parts or dense packing.
• Outer carton plus inner carton, a double system for shock-sensitive goods. Outer BC, inner B or E, fill the gap with paper cushioning.
• Auto-bottom boxes only in heavy-duty quality when a flat-closing base and fast packing are required.

Cushioning, load distribution, secure sealing

Heavy goods require clean load management. This keeps the shipment in shape and withstands handling.

• Load distribution, heavy parts at the bottom, insert flat pads made of corrugated board or honeycomb boards between layers.
• Cushioning, fill voids with paper cushioning, cover edges and corners, prevent movement inside the box.
• Sealing, tape base and lid in the H pattern, along the seam and across the flaps. Use industrial-grade paper tape.
• External markings, mark center of gravity and “this side up”, do not create loops on the outside.

One DHL Paket 31,5 kg or two smaller parcels

One parcel is sensible when goods must stay together or the original packaging requires it. Two smaller parcels are better if you want to separate break risks, reduce lifting loads, or the single box would need disproportionate void fill.

How to get the shipment ready

1. Check product dimensions, calculate girth, choose box quality, plan inserts for heavy point loads.
2. Distribute weight evenly, fill voids, protect edges, seal cleanly in the H pattern.
3. Apply the shipping label, keep the proof of posting, track the shipment.
