Why Austria needs special attention

Shipments to Austria 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.

Vienna has major logistics hubs; for the rest of the country (Tirolo, Stiria) transit times are similar to Northern Italy.

The 5 steps to pack chocolate for Austria

Step 1 — Materials needed. box termica in estate (>25°C), refrigerazione se delicate praline.

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

Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap chocolate 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 Austria's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
