Packaging & Fragile Handling

Craft goods break, mould, tarnish and abrade in transit more than almost any other class of consumer product. Packaging is therefore part of the product specification, not an afterthought: inner protection, moisture control, fumigation for plant fibre and untreated wood, and carton compression strength for stacked sea freight. Buyers who invest here recover the cost immediately in claim rates, and retail-ready packaging often decides whether the item can be sold at its intended price point.
