It helps technicians and shipping teams in Austria prepare parts for passenger-car courier transport so shipments are protected and handovers are traceable. ## Purpose and scope This checklist applies to critical spare parts shipped by courier in a passenger car. It excludes temperature-controlled, hazardous or very heavy items. The aim is part protection, traceability and smooth handover to the courier or recipient. ## Basic packaging principles Use a sturdy outer box sized to the part. Eliminate movement with internal cushioning. Protect delicate surfaces with film or fleece. Secure movable components. Absorb shocks with foam, paper fill or air cushions. ## Concrete material list (basic) 1) Outer carton, single or double wall depending on weight/shape. 2) Internal padding: PE foam, EPP or shock-absorbing cushions. 3) Edge protection from cardboard or plastic. 4) Surface film (PE) or antistatic film for electronics. 5) Stretch wrap and PP packing tape. 6) Cable ties or hook-and-loop straps for fixation. 7) Label stickers and a document pouch for the handover protocol. ## Packing steps — step by step 1) Inspect part: cleanliness, remove oil/grease, apply protective coating if needed. 2) Pre-protect: cover sensitive surfaces with film. 3) Fix: place part in internal padding and fill gaps. 4) Add edge protection. 5) Place in outer box and minimize voids. 6) Seal box and secure with tape. 7) Visual check: dents, sharp edges, labeling. ## Labeling and accompanying documents Every shipment needs clear labeling: sender, recipient, order or job number. Mark 'Fragile — spare part' visibly. Include a document pouch with delivery note and a filled handover protocol. For disassembled assemblies, tag parts with numbers and add an exploded drawing or packing list. ## Handover protocol — required fields A simple handover protocol records dispatch and receipt. Required fields: date/time, sender contact, recipient address, number of packages, estimated weight, item description and serial numbers, visible damage at handover (yes/no, description), sender signature, courier/recipient signature, printed names. ## Frequently asked questions What box strength is sufficient? Small to medium spare parts typically fit a single-wall box. For heavier or sensitive parts choose double-wall boxes. Pick a strength that prevents crushing during normal handling. When should antistatic packing be used? Use antistatic film or foam for electronic control units, sensors or circuit boards. Use antistatic materials that do not stress the component mechanically. How do I document transport damage properly? Record damage immediately in the handover protocol and take photos of the packaging and the damage. Have the courier confirm and sign the damage report. What belongs in the document pouch? Delivery note, handover protocol, packing list with serial numbers and a sender contact card. Attach the pouch to the box in a visible place. ## Plan a courier trip in Austria x25pronto Austria carries small and well packed shipments by car.
