Packing Requirements and Guidelines

Minted Packing Requirements:

• All Minted packages must be shipped with Fedex and the prepaid shipping label.
• Where possible, please use sustainable packaging (e.g. no styrofoam peanuts). Please see Minted’s packaging sustainability pledge and resources for more information.
• You may include a business card, a thank you note, or a card that shares more about you. You may not include promotional offers or discounts, or links to other competitive websites.
• For tips on how to ship art, please see our article on shipping art.

For all package shipments the seller is responsible for ensuring that each item is safely packed to prevent damage in transit.

You can help to ensure that your package arrives safely and on time with these packaging guidelines and procedures developed from Fedex research:

• Use FedEx Express packaging for FedEx Express package shipments only; any other use is prohibited.
• You may use your own packaging if boxes are sturdy and undamaged with all flaps intact.
•  Chipboard boxes, such as gift or shoe boxes, must be packed into a corrugated outer box.
•  Use double-wall boxes for heavier items.
• Place small packages inside a larger outer box. For express shipments smaller than 18 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm (7" x 4" x 2"), use a FedEx Express packaging option.
•  Double-box fragile items with 8 cm (3") of cushioning in and around the smaller box.
• Wrap items individually with cushioning material and center them in cartons away from other items and away from the sides, corners, top, and bottom of the box.
• Place items that might be damaged by normal handling, such as soiling, marking, or application of adhesive labels, in a protective outer box.
• For odd- or irregular-shaped items, at a minimum you should wrap and tape all sharp edges or protrusions.
• Enclose an extra label, business card, or letterhead with the shipper’s address and phone number and the recipient’s address and phone number inside the package before sealing it.
• Remove all old address labels from reused boxes before shipping, and make sure there are no holes, tears, or corner dents in the outer box.
