What Counts as Fragile Items
Fragile items are things that can easily break, crack, shatter, or get damaged during normal handling or transport. They need careful packing and gentle handling to stay safe while being moved.
Fragile does not only mean light items. Some heavy materials can also be fragile. For example, cast iron can break if dropped because it is strong but brittle.
When you’re sending fragile items by courier, they can be exposed to risks such as:
- Impacts during loading and unloading
- Constant vibration during road travel
- Pressure from stacking or tight loading
- Movement inside vans during cornering or braking
This is why fragile goods need dedicated handling instead of standard parcel delivery.

How to Package a Fragile Parcel
Use a strong, double-walled corrugated cardboard box that is as close as possible to the size of your item. The box must be rigid, lightweight, and in good condition, as this is the main layer that protects your fragile item during transport. Avoid reusing old or weak boxes, as they lose strength and can fail under pressure.
How to Wrap a Fragile Parcel
Wrap each item fully using bubble wrap, foam sheets, or corrugated liners to create a thick protective layer. Fill all empty spaces inside the box with packing paper, foam, or packing peanuts so the item cannot move. If you are packing more than one item, use cardboard dividers and wrap each item separately to avoid contact and damage.
How to Seal a Fragile Parcel
Place the item in the centre of the box with cushioning underneath and above it for full protection. Seal all edges securely using strong packing tape to prevent the box from opening during transit. Avoid loose packing and ensure everything is tightly secured so the item does not shift while being delivered.
