Protect contents with plenty approaching, Ci da Post Corporation would like to provide its customers with some sailing and packaging tips to ensure that all cards and parcels arrive on time and in good condition during this very busy season. Good packaging is essential for shipping Christmas parcels. Improper packaging can result in delays, damage and extra expense.

Packages must be clearly addressed, strong and securely sealed, and the contents must be protected by internal cushioning materials to prevent movement, otherwise the parcel could break open and its contents may be lost or damaged. Follow these basic steps to good packaging: 1.

If the article is fragile, the parcel should be clearly marked FRAGILE in bold block letters on the outside of the container and DO NOT BEND if the article can be damaged by bending. 3. Seal the package securely with good quality, pressure sensitive packaging tape, such as fiberglass or reinforced craft tape. Never use masking tape, ordinary transparent tape, or string, which can get caught in mail processing machinery. 4. Address the package clearly with the destination and return addresses appearing twice on the parcel. A label bearing both these addresses should also be placed inside the parcel as a back-up in case the wrapping gets damaged. 5. For parcels of value, indemnity coverage for loss or damage should be purchased. for any damag The Corparation of the Township of Scugog 'NOTICE' ».
