How We Pack a Granite Mini Yukimi Stone Lantern for International Shipping — Switzerland Delivery

Mini stone lanterns are compact, but their weight can still cause damage if impact force concentrates on one point. For this reason, we use a standardized multi-layer packing method, and we ship this Mini Yukimi Stone Lantern in two separate packages for safer air delivery.

This Mini Yukimi Stone Lantern was sold to a buyer in Switzerland. We dispatched it same-day via DHL with a tracking number. With this packing method, we expect safe delivery in about 5–10 days.

Package weight: Each box is approximately 4 kg (total: 8 kg in 2 boxes).

Packing Materials Used

Newspaper (paper wrap) Initial surface protection to prevent scratches and edge contact
Air-cushion (bubble wrap) Shock absorption and impact dispersion
Corrugated cardboard roll Structural rigidity and movement prevention
Carton boxes (2 packages) Separate boxing reduces stress on each part and helps avoid breakage
Tape / stretch film / labels Final sealing and reinforcement for international handling

Step-by-Step Packing Process

1) Paper wrapping (surface protection)

Mini Yukimi stone lantern components protected with paper and bubble wrap

We reinforce key contact points using corrugated cardboard so that impact force does not concentrate on a single edge.

2) Air-cushion protection (shock absorption)

Each part is wrapped in newspaper to protect the stone surface and reduce micro-chipping from friction.

3) Wrapped cardboard protection (structural reinforcement)

The cardboard box is double-layered and reinforced with stretch film.

4) Boxing in two packages

The lantern is shipped in two boxes. This reduces stress on the components and keeps each package stable during transport.

5) Final sealing and reinforcement

We seal and reinforce the cartons to maintain box integrity under weight, then prepare them for DHL pickup.

Unboxing Safety Note

Each box weighs about 4 kg. Please open the packages on a carpet or on a sturdy table, and handle each part carefully. The stone is heavy—please take care not to drop it.

Shipping to Switzerland via DHL

We shipped the two packages to Switzerland via DHL with same-day dispatch. A tracking number is provided so the buyer can monitor delivery status at every stage.

Why This Packing Method Works

Heavy items fail when impact force concentrates and internal movement occurs. Our method focuses on (1) surface protection, (2) shock absorption, (3) structural reinforcement, and (4) movement prevention. This is why we are confident the Mini Yukimi Stone Lantern will arrive safely.
