Good packaging helps your object arrive safely, keeps buyers happy and ensures smooth shipping.

Read our Packaging Tips here. 

Special packaging by object type

• Wine and bottles – keep upright, wrap individually, use molded protectors and leak-proof recyclable bags.
• Luxury objects and jewelry – wrap in soft, protective materials, use tamper-proof recyclable packaging, and avoid shipping labels that display the object’s value or contents. If using a label where this information is required, make sure it isn’t easily visible or can be concealed where possible.
• Glass and porcelain – cushion each object separately, fill empty spaces with recyclable paper.
• Furniture and bulky objects – disassemble when possible, pad corners, use pallets with recyclable protection for very large objects.
• Vehicles, fine art, and fragile antiques – these require special handling, consult your shipping or transport company for approved packaging.

Compliance note: Germany’s packaging law

If you ship to buyers in Germany, you must comply with the VerpackG (German Packaging Act):

• Applies to: All sellers – whether based in Germany or abroad – must comply if their packages are delivered to Germany.
• What to do:
  • Register with the LUCID Packaging Register.
  • Ensure your packaging materials meet German recycling standards.

Non-compliance can lead to fines or delivery issues.
