We shipped Lying Person Gray Granite Stone Sculpture Stick Figure Handmade Japanese Garden from Japan to a customer in Malaysia by DHL with tracking on the same day the order was placed. This small granite stone sculpture measures approximately 5.9 in / 15 cm long, 6.3 in / 16 cm wide, and 3.15 in / 8 cm high, and it weighs about 2.2 lbs / 1.0 kg.
Although this is a compact piece, it is still a stone item, so we need to pay close attention to how pressure and impact can affect it during shipping. This sculpture has a soft, rounded shape that looks like a person lying down, so it is different from a square or block-shaped stone product. If it moves inside the box, pressure can collect on one area more easily. For that reason, we first wrapped the piece with newspaper, then added bubble wrap, and reinforced the bottom of the box with hot glue before shipment. This packing method was chosen to match the shape, weight, and surface of the granite sculpture in a practical way.
Main packing priorities for this shipment
This stone sculpture does not have a simple rectangular shape. The head, body, and legs all have rounded contours, so if the piece shifts during transit, pressure can gather unevenly on one part of the sculpture. To reduce that risk, we used newspaper as the first protective layer so it could fit the shape closely, then added bubble wrap to absorb impact from the outside. We also reinforced the bottom of the cardboard box with hot glue before packing. Even for a small granite item, bottom support and movement control inside the carton are important for international shipping.

Packing Photos
The sculpture before packing
The thumbnail image at the top of this article shows the sculpture before packing. This piece has a soft, reclining human form with rounded contours rather than sharp corners, so it needs a packing method that matches its shape. Even though it is small, it is still a granite sculpture, which means impact and concentrated pressure must be taken seriously.
First protective layer with newspaper
We first wrapped the sculpture with newspaper to protect the surface and create a softer layer that follows the curves of the stone. Newspaper works well at this stage because it fits around uneven shapes more naturally than a stiff material. For a rounded stone piece like this one, that helps create a more stable base before the outer cushioning is added.
Bubble wrap added to reduce movement in the box
After the newspaper layer, we added bubble wrap to help absorb impact during transit. For international shipping, the strength of the outer box matters, but it is also very important that the item does not move too much inside the carton. Here, we used cushioning around the sculpture so the stone item would stay more stable during handling and transportation.
Box sealed after bottom reinforcement
Before the sculpture was packed, we reinforced the bottom of the cardboard box with hot glue. This is not the most visible part of the packing process, but it is an important step when shipping a stone or granite item. Strengthening the bottom seams helps the box support the weight more reliably. Once we confirmed the sculpture was stable inside, we closed and sealed the carton.
Final DHL package shipped the same day
In the final step, we completed the shipment using DHL outer packaging and sent it from Japan to Malaysia with tracking on the same day. For overseas orders, it is important not only to protect the stone sculpture itself, but also to prepare the package in a way that is easy to manage and identify during delivery. This final outer layer helps the shipment stay organized in transit.
Shipping to Malaysia from Japan by DHL
Because this order was going to Malaysia, we arranged shipment by DHL with tracking. For international orders, protection is important, but so is visibility during transit. A tracked shipment makes it easier for the customer to follow the package and helps reduce uncertainty before delivery.
We also value fast dispatch, so this order was shipped the same day. Even though this sculpture is not large, it is still a stone piece, and that means the packing method needs to be chosen differently from an ordinary decorative item. For this shipment, we used a practical method that matched both the shape and the weight of the granite sculpture.
Summary
For this shipment, we first wrapped the Lying Person Gray Granite Stone Sculpture with newspaper as a shape-fitting protective layer, then added bubble wrap, and adjusted the packing so the piece would stay stable inside the box. We also reinforced the bottom of the carton with hot glue before packing so it could better support the weight of the stone item.
After that, we sealed the outer box and shipped it from Japan to Malaysia by DHL with tracking on the same day. Even a small stone sculpture needs careful preparation because stone and granite can be vulnerable to impact and concentrated pressure during transit. This packing method was selected to protect the piece in a realistic and stable way for international shipping.
