The 5 steps to pack stamps for South Korea

Step 1 — Materials needed. album rigido, busta imbottita + box, raccomandata consigliata.

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

Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap stamps in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 4–5 international 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 South Korea's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
