When to use

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

The problem

Pressure changes at altitude and carrier handling loosen lotion, serum, and liquid-product caps — leading to leaks inside the shipment.

The fix

Tape over caps before packing. Add a secondary poly bag barrier around each unit. Pack in a corrugated box with generous paper fill so bottles don't bump each other.

Frequently asked

Do caps really loosen at altitude?

Yes — planes depressurize cargo holds. Products with residual air expand, pushing caps loose. Taping over the cap adds a mechanical barrier.

Should I use heat-sealed foam disc seals?

Premium skincare brands do, yes. They add a second layer of leak protection and signal quality at unboxing.

What if I ship via ground only?

Ground avoids altitude pressure changes, but bouncing still loosens caps. Poly-bag each unit regardless of ship mode.
