Step 1 — Materials needed. bustine plastica + cartoncini rigidi, Sturdy box, no piega.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean comics before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap comics 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.
