Packaging instructions

Once you have gathered all the materials, please follow these instructions to avoid any damages:

Envelope with documents/letters

1. Place the document in a plastic/waterproof envelope, to protect it from humidity.
2. Use cardboard sheets or folders protection, with adhesive sealing or a carboard tube that can hold and protect larger documents while rolled, instead of folded.
3. Place the document/letter in the paper or cardboard envelope.
4. Close and seal your envelope with a packaging tape.

Padded envelope

Important 

If you decide to send items in a padded envelope, plastic-coated or air-bubble-filled bags, no claim can be accepted in the event of damage or loss, since this packaging material can be easily damaged and it doesn't protect your items from humidity or vibrations while transported by the carrier.

1. It is essential to wrap the contents in at least 5 cm of bubble wrap.
2. Use additional cardboard protection to protect the goods.
3. Place the goods in the padded envelope.
4. Close and seal your envelope with a packaging tape.
