Steps for “how to ship your package”
Original packaging is usually designed to ship the product once, not multiple times. Over-boxing, in the other hand, it provides extra integrity for the weakened original manufacturer’s packaging. Use the over-boxing method as much as possible to protect your equipment.
1. Inspect the package
Inspect the original packaging to ensure that the cushioning material and box are intact and unbroken. Pack the product using all the original packaging components. Make any repairs with pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic tape that is at least 2″ wide.
2. Re-package the computer in a larger box
Obtain a box that is at least 6″ larger in length, width and height than the original manufacturer’s packaging. Fill the bottom of the box with 3″ of packing material (e.g., air-cellular cushioning material such as Bubble Wrap® or loosefill peanuts). Do not use crushed paper. Center the original manufacturer’s packaging inside the outer box and fill empty spaces on all sides and the top with packing material. The inner box should be surrounded with at least 3″ of packing material around all six sides of the inner box.
