Are you in China and have a lot of goods you want to send to Indonesia? Whether it's groceries, souvenirs, business products or personal items, the important thing is to know how to pack properly so that your items don't get damaged during the long trip to Indonesia. Moreover, if you send it by sea or air, the process can take days, so packaging security must be paid attention to.

Why is correct packing important when sending goods from China?

Many people often just pack goods, even though shipping from China or other countries is very different from sending packages between cities.
Items can:

• Change hands several times
• Stacked up in the warehouse
• Exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity
• Subject to shock in transit

That's why strong and durable packaging can help prevent damage, especially if you send electronics, skincare, dry food or glassware.

Types of Packing Materials That Are Safe for Sending Goods from China

1. Thick Cardboard or Double Layer Box
Use double-walled cardboard for medium-sized items such as clothes, shoes or household items.

2. Bubble Wrap & Foam Sheet
Required for electronic goods, glass, cosmetics or fragile goods. Cover the inside to keep it safe from impact.

3. Stretch Plastic and Thick Duct Tape
To secure the exterior so that it is not easily torn and is moisture resistant.

4. Wooden Crates or Pallets
If you send heavy or large items such as machines, monitors, or printers, you can consider using wooden crates.

Tips for packing goods to ensure safety during shipping

1. Separate Items Based on Type
Do not mix liquid, heavy and light items in one box. If necessary, divide it or wrap it separately.

2. Use Clear Labels
Paste a label like Fragile or This Side Up so officers know how to handle it.

3. Add Additional Protection
Use foam, paper, or old cloth to fill the empty space in the box so that items don't shift.

4. Write the complete name & address of the destination
Include the recipient's name, clear address, telephone number and postal code so you don't get lost in the Indonesian customs process.

Estimated Time and Shipping Costs from China to Indonesia

Delivery time depends on the method you choose:

• By Air (Air Cargo): 5–10 working days
  
• Via Sea (Sea Cargo): 3–5 week

If you send small quantities or for personal needs, it is usually more efficient to use an import service that is able to send your goods from China to their destination directly, so you don't have to worry about sending the goods to their destination.
