Export Packing Questions to Ask a Printer Manufacturer
Ask for packing dimensions, handling instructions, protective measures and destination documentation before booking transport. Confirm applicable requirements with your logistics provider.
Plan the shipment interface
Request gross weight, packed dimensions, lifting arrangements and access requirements. Confirm which items travel separately and how accessories are identified. Photograph the packing condition and keep the packing list with the handover record.
Verify destination requirements
Ask the broker or freight provider to confirm applicable documentation and packaging requirements for the route and destination. Wood packaging rules can be relevant where wood is used. Do not treat a generic shipping article as a substitute for current destination-specific advice.

Is a wooden crate alone evidence of compliant export packing?
No. Packing construction, treatment or marking where applicable, and destination requirements need separate confirmation.
