How to Pack Liquids in Your Atlas Box for Safe Shipping

Packing liquids properly is essential to ensure a smooth and damage-free shipping experience. Here’s a detailed guide on the best practices to follow when preparing liquid items for shipment in your Atlas Box.

Best Practices for Packing Liquids:

• Lock Pump Bottles: If your bottle has a pump, make sure the pump is securely locked to prevent leaks.

• Ensure Seals Are Intact: Liquid containers should ideally have security rings, bottle seals, or tamper-resistant seals intact.

• Use Protective Wrapping: Utilize plastic wrap, packing tape, and plastic bags to safeguard your liquids and prevent spillage.

• Avoid Contact with Hard or Sharp Items: Do not place liquid containers directly against the walls of the box or next to metal items, canned goods, or objects with sharp edges.

• Protect the Box and Other Items: Following the methods outlined below will help ensure that, even if a leak occurs, the rest of your items and your Atlas Box remain safe and intact.

Step-by-Step Packing Instructions:

For Bottles with a Seal:

1. Wrap the Bottle Opening:

• Place plastic wrap around the opening of the container.

• Secure the plastic wrap with packing tape by tightly wrapping it around and over the plastic wrap and container.

2. Place in a Plastic Bag:

• Once the container is secured, place it in a plastic bag to provide an extra layer of protection.

For Bottles without a Seal:

1. Prepare the Opening:

• Remove the cap from the container.

• Place a piece of plastic wrap (about 1-2 feet wide) over the opening, positioning the opening in the center of the wrap.

2. Secure the Cap:

• Tightly screw the cap back on over the plastic wrap.

• Use the excess plastic wrap to seal the cap to the container by wrapping it around the outside.

3. Wrap with Packing Tape:

• Tightly wrap packing tape around and over the plastic wrap and container to ensure a secure seal.

4. Place in a Plastic Bag:

• Just like with sealed bottles, place the wrapped container inside a plastic bag to minimize any risk of leaks.

Bonus Tip:

To further protect your liquids, consider wrapping the plastic-bagged container in a layer of bubble wrap before placing it in your Atlas Box. This will cushion the container and help prevent damage during transit.

Why Proper Packing is Important

Properly packing liquids ensures that:
