Packing Tips for the Surat to Itanagar Route
Since Surat to Itanagar is a long-haul lane into one of India's harder-to-serve regions, parcels pass through more handling hubs. Use a rigid double-walled box, cushion fragile items on all sides, and seal seams with H-taping so the package survives the longer journey to Arunachal Pradesh.

- Right-sized, sturdy box with no empty space
- Cushioning for fragile items (extra padding for this longer lane)
- Clear Surat sender and Itanagar recipient labels with pincodes
- Accurate contents and value declaration
