What basic packing and packaging should I use for first shipments?

Good packaging protects your product — and your margins.

Every shipment should start with the basics done right:
use sturdy boxes sized to the product, add inner padding for fragile items,
apply clear, scannable labels, and always include the invoice.

Avoid oversized boxes wherever possible — they increase volumetric weight
and directly push up your shipping costs.
