How to Pack Parcels Safely for UK → Spain Delivery (Step-by-Step)
Good packaging prevents damage, avoids delays, and reduces volumetric weight so you don’t overpay. Use this checklist to prepare parcels from the UK to Spain.
Choose the right box
✅ Double-wall cartons for anything heavy/fragile
✅ New or near-new boxes (no tears, dents, or water damage)
✅ Keep sizes compact — avoid empty space inside
Cushion & protect properly
✅ Wrap each item with bubble wrap/foam
✅ Fill voids with paper/void fill/peanuts
✅ For fragile items: double-box (inner box cushioned inside an outer box)
Seal like a pro
✅ Use 48–72 mm packing tape on seams (H-taping)
✅ Don’t use string or cellotape
✅ Reinforce corners and edges
Label clearly (outside & inside)
✅ Receiver name, Spanish address, phone
✅ Your return address & phone
✅ FRAGILE label where relevant
✅ A duplicate label inside the box
Documents to include
✅ Commercial invoice (if applicable: HS codes, values, currency)
✅ Packing list (item count, weights, dimensions)
✅ Any permits required for the goods
Volumetric weight tips
✅ Pack tight to reduce (L×W×H) ÷ 6000
✅ Trim oversized packaging; pick boxes that fit the items
✅ Avoid round tubes if a rectangular box will do
What not to pack (or check before you do)
✅ Batteries, aerosols, liquids, perfumes and other DG items can be restricted
