DETAILED PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS
Special Notes
- (*) The actual number of airbags used may vary depending on the product size when placed in the carton. If the product already fits tightly inside (very little to no space), bubble wrap can replace airbags, or no filler may be needed.
- (**) Recycled crumpled paper will be used if there is still space left after airbags are inserted.
- (***) If the product is already packed in the Manufacturer’s carton or oversized for TIKINOW cartons, it will be wrapped externally with bubble wrap instead.
- (****) Polybags are used only when the polybag size fits the product/order size:
- Bag 1: 26.5 × 18 cm
- Bag 2: 36 × 17 cm
