When to use

• Fixing a recurring damage, cost, or throughput issue.
• Spec'ing corrective materials before peak season.

The problem

International shipments face 2-4x more handling than domestic — customs inspection, cross-docking, and multi-leg transit. Standard ecommerce packaging isn't built for it.

The fix

Use ECT-44 or ECT-48 double-wall corrugated. Pack items individually in bubble, fill all voids, use reinforced or water-activated tape, and label Fragile + This Side Up. Include a commercial invoice and customs declaration.
