2	Wrap your items carefully to ensure the packaging doesn't get ripped in transport. Pay close attention to the corners.
3	Put the wrapped items in the envelope or box, and fill any remaining space with loose packaging, such as packing peanuts.
4	Seal the box or envelope with tape. If you are recycling a used box, make sure that you remove any old labels from the outside.
