A. Packing your Barrel of shipment
1. Sort all goods according to type
2. This will allow us to get a better idea of quantities and how to pack them, make sure fragile items are given special
attention.
3. Pack all canned goods and hard cardboard boxes, if any, first. Building a strong base that can withstand goods loaded
on top. Any Rice, sugar, and flour should be wrapped securely in plastic bags and packed on top of the cans.
4. Try to buy products packaged in plastic rather than glass, whenever possible. All bottles should be wrapped with tape
and placed in plastic bags before placing in the barrel.
5. Soft items such as tissue paper and any other soft, cushioning items should be packed around the bottles to give extra
support. These items will also help maximize the capacity you fill in the barrel.
6. Make sure that all the fragile items are given extra protection.
7. Clothing should be placed at the top of the barrel, preferably in plastic bags to prevent damage from any possible
spillage.
8. Perfumed items, such as bath soaps, should be placed on top, away from dry goods and food items, such as, flour, rice
and sugar. If you are shipping more than one barrel, separate these items, putting them in different barrels.
