How to Address a Shipping Tube

Instructions

• 1

  Pack the tube in a compact manner and seal it. Do not forget to use the end caps that came along with the shipping tube. These caps prevent the tube from getting deformed while it is being shipped. Turn the packed and sealed tube so that the largest portion which does not have any tape or markings is facing towards you. Here you will write the shipping address.

  Draw a rectangle using a permanent marker. The size of the rectangle should be fairly large so that all its edges are clearly visible without having to turn the tube and it should be positioned at the tube’s centre. You may want to use a shipping label in which case you the label should be small enough so that it can be seen without having to turn the tube. However, you need to write the address in the rectangle or on the shipping label so make sure that you have enough writing space.

Start with the recipient’s name, followed by the shipping address and ZIP code information. As before, write the initial of the country to which the tube has be delivered in the last line if required.
