Why Greece needs special attention
Shipments to Greece 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.
For shipments in Greece, ELTA (poste greche) ha rete più capillare ma tempi più lunghi rispetto a carriers privati.
The 5 steps to pack planter for Greece
Step 1 — Materials needed. vaso vuoto, terra separata, doppio strato pluriball.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean planter before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. wrap planter con minimo 3 strati di pluriball (o 4-5 for oggetti very delicati). Non save sull'packaging: il parcel passa for 2-3 hub europei.
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 Greece's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
Documents for Greece
Greece is in the EU: no extra customs paperwork required, just the carrier label.
