Why Portugal needs special attention

Shipments to Portugal are within Europe: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging matched to both item and destination makes the difference between an intact arrival and a bad surprise.

Le Azzorre e Madeira hanno regimi speciali: rates maggiorate e tempi più lunghi rispetto al continente.

The 5 steps to pack thermal flask for Portugal

Step 1 — Materials needed. vuota, pluriball, box standard.

Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean thermal flask before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.

Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap thermal flask in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 2–3 European hubs.

Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.

Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Portugal's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
