Packaging Guideline for 2023:

If you are already a seller on Daraz then you must keep yourself well-equip with the following Packaging guideline. This will help you tackle any claim or trouble in the future. The packaging guideline at all costs must be strictly adhered to. They can be found in more detail on Daraz University accessible from the seller ID. This article only provides a brief introduction covering each rule:

Products that are bigger than the packaging available:

For products such as printer, TV, Fridge, etc that doesn’t usually fit into the package, In that case, the box must be covered with an opaque brown sheet making sure that the product is not visible to view through it. Make sure to properly stick the shipping label on it and secure it with tape to avoid any possible damage.

Packages with 2 large units, should be packed together in 1 big package. Applying the same shipping label on separate packaging will be considered as 1 package and the seller will bear the loss if the other component / other package gets misplaced.

Never print a shipping label on coloring pages:

This might look small but it matters a lot. This attitude shows professional behavior and customer-seller relation. Make sure to always use plain white paper to print a shipping label. In or in case of stickers the classic yellow color is allowed only.

Never put tape on the flyer:

When packaging bulky items such as Books it might appear that securing them with tape can do good. But never use tape on the flyer as it gives the impression of a torn parcel and the customer might reject it at the doorstep therefore Daraz does not accept any package with tape on the flyer.

Shrink wrap your package

If your packages are exceeding the packing provided by Daraz. Then after covering the product with a brown sheet and sticking the shipping label, always wrap it with shrink wrap. Otherwise, the package won’t be accepted. This is done to make sure that in case of rain or any contact with water, the packages are safe.

Packages should not be teared

Make sure that the flyer used is new and that the package doesn’t seem to be torn from any angle. This can lead to immediate rejection.

Use appropriate flyer size as per packaging guidelines:

Sometimes due to a shortage of flyers, a seller packages the product in a larger size flyer. Or the product is packed into a larger volume than that specified in the product SKU. Then the shipping cost associated will be increased and deducted from the payment cycle. Make sure to always package the product in the correct flyer size as you mentioned in the product SKU.

Wet packages are not acceptable as per packaging guidelines:

Make sure the packages are dry and in neat condition. Wet packages are not accepted. This could happen in case of rain or emergency.

Never forget the shipping label:

In personalized packages, sellers often forget to paste the shipping label on the parcel. It is a very common mistake overlooked by sellers and they have to return it.

Never purchase Daraz packaging from outside the platform:

Many people are selling Daraz packages outside the platform at a cheaper cost. To tackle this issue Daraz has introduced a new system where each packing item ordered from a seller is booked against his shop ID. Therefore always use packages that are officially bought through the platform as it can create a problem with the return or claims.

Fragile item Packaging guideline :

Always mark fragile packages with a fragile sticker on top, visible from every angle. It should be packed in bubble wrap, brown paper, and shrink wrap as sought appropriately. Fragile items include but are not limited to glass, cutlery, antiques, jewelry pieces, paintings, cards, etc.
