A little care goes a long way.

A practical guide to packing your balikbayan box, from the first layer to the final seal.

Start with a strong box. Line the bottom and place heavier items low down. Wrap fragile items separately and use soft clothing to fill spaces.

Keep liquids sealed inside an additional bag. Make a clear inventory and check prohibited and restricted goods with our team before you pack.

Seal every seam with strong packing tape. Write the receiver’s full name, address and contact number clearly. Take a photo of the packed contents for your records.
