Packing the box so it arrives whole

Mga natutunan namin sa mga kabayan na madalas magpadala:
- Pack with care, send with love. Heaviest items at the bottom, clothes around anything fragile, label both sides.
- Heavy first, light on top. Canned goods and bottles at the bottom so the chocolates arrive in one piece.
- Wrap it, then pad it. Wrap bottles in plastic, then roll them in towels or shirts before they go in.
- Fill every gap. A box with no empty space does not shift. Fill gaps with socks, towels or snacks.
