The contents should be in a cardboard box, in which the contents of the shipment should be separated between the cardboard with honeycomb, corrugated cardboard or polyvinyl with bubbles, and the contents of the box should be filled. The package must be packaged and protected to the extent that the contents can withstand a fall from the belt, which means a fall from 1m.
