Delivered Safely to Germany — Our Protective Packaging for Stone Products

One of our handcrafted stone pieces was recently delivered safely to a customer in Germany. Stone products are beautiful and durable, yet they are often considered “fragile,” “heavy,” and “difficult to ship internationally.” This article explains how we package our stone products to ensure safe delivery worldwide.

About the Product Shipped to Germany

  • Destination: Germany
  • Material: Solid stone
  • Characteristics: Heavy weight, natural surface, edges prone to impact

Despite these challenges, we have never had a single case of breakage thanks to our multi-layer protection method.

Our Professional Multi-Layer Packaging Method

We use packaging systems specifically optimized for stone products, far stronger and safer than ordinary e-commerce packing.

Step 1 — Full Air-Cushion Wrapping

  • Thick air cushions completely cover the stone piece
  • Absorbs shock and vibration
  • Protects all corners and edges

Step 2 — Reinforced Double-Wall Cardboard

  • Industrial-grade double-layer cardboard for heavy items
  • Withstands stacking pressure during European transit
  • Prevents internal movement of the stone product

Step 3 — PP Band Compression

  • Heavy-duty strapping keeps the box structurally stable
  • Prevents deformation during long-distance transport
  • Ideal for FedEx, UPS, DHL, and multi-hub routing

Step 4 — Cloth Tape Reinforcement

  • Stronger and more durable than regular tape
  • Resistant to humidity and friction
  • Ensures the box stays sealed until delivery

Why Our Packages Do Not Break

  • Shock distribution: impact is dispersed through air cushions
  • Structural stability: PP-banded double walls resist deformation
  • No internal movement: the stone remains fixed in position
  • Designed for heavy weight: optimized packing for solid stone

For Our European and International Customers

We have successfully delivered to Germany, the UK, France, Austria, the US, and many other countries. Every order includes:

  • Photos of the actual packaged box
  • A tracking number
  • Shipment via trusted couriers such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL

The shipment to Germany arrived without any issues — another example of our reliable packaging method.

Conclusion

Shipping stone products internationally may seem difficult, but with the proper method, zero-damage delivery is absolutely achievable. Our multi-layer protective packaging ensures that customers around the world can confidently enjoy authentic Japanese stone craftsmanship.
