1、 Packaging protection: multi-layer cushioning and fixation

Inner layer protection

Wrap the entire lamp strip with bubble wrap, with a focus on protecting the two end interfaces and chip area (vulnerable points), and wrap it around at least 3 layers to cushion the impact.

For light strips without scrolls, it is necessary to wrap them neatly and fix them with tape to avoid looseness during transportation that may cause internal wrapping cracks.

Outer reinforcement

Use cardboard to manufacture customized structures, with dimensions matching the length of the light strip to ensure that there is no shaking space for the light strip within the structure.

The outer layer of the structure is sealed with a thickened cardboard box or wooden box, and the box is filled with foam particles, air cushion film or old newspapers to avoid displacement.

The packaging surface is labeled with "Fragile", "Moisture proof", and "Upward" signs to remind logistics personnel to handle with care.

2、 Shipping Method: Timeliness and Balance

World Express (DHL/FedEx)

Applicable scenarios: Small batch, high-value, or urgent orders (3-5 days delivery).

Advantages: Full tracking and strong customs clearance capabilities, but the shipping cost is relatively high (about 3-5 times that of sea freight).

Constraint: The weight of a single item generally does not exceed 30kg, and it is necessary to acknowledge in advance whether the light strip contains hazardous substances (such as mercury).

World Line

Applicable scenarios: Medium batch size with moderate delivery time requirements (7-15 days for delivery).

Advantages: Good performance and low price, providing double clearance and tax inclusive services, reducing customs clearance risks.

Recommendation: Select dedicated lines for foreign countries and other regions, and match them with targeted shopping malls.

sea transportation

Applicable scenarios: Large quantities, non urgent orders (delivery within 30-45 days).

Advantages: Low shipping cost (about 1/5 of air freight), suitable for large lighting fixtures or long-term cooperative customers.

Risk: It needs to comply with the world's maritime risk goods regulations (such as mercury lamp strips that need to be individually packaged and have a mercury content of ≤ 1g per piece).
