Shipping olive oil in Italy or abroad

The glass bottles and the tins used as packaging for the liquids have a fundamental role for the transport. This also happens in case of your olive oil shipment. In the following lines you will find valuable tips for a safe olive oil shipment.

The essential:
First, you should decide on using separating elements made of polystyrene or cardboard. Thanks to this kind of elements you can guarantee that each bottle has its own dedicated space and that during the transport these will not be in contact or will beat one against the other. Once you take this decision, as first step, we recommend wrapping each bottle with air bubble polyethylene. Subsequently, the bottles will be inserted in the cardboard box, which in the first step was prepared with separating elements. If you want to arrange the bottles on more levels, you should be sure that the base is secure, so that even in this case the bottles do not touch each other. As last step, insert a lot of filling material (such as expanded flakes and polystyrene pearls) and close the package with adhesive tape.
