Labelling Your Shipment

It’s very important to mark the number of items you have on your boxes and write Cargonaija on each box too. For example, if your boxes are 2 write 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 etc. If it’s just a box, write 1 of 1. The Same labelling procedure applies to bags and suitcases.

It’s equally important to write your name with a clear marker pen on your items. For clarity’s sake, use a bold black marker pen to write on items that are non-black colour. On the other hand, use a white marker pen on black boxes, suitcases, or bags.

Alternatively, you can create your own labels and paste them on your cargo using a transparent clean film.
