Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean diploma before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap diploma in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 4–5 international hubs.

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