We shipped a black granite sushi geta plate from Japan to a customer in the United States by UPS. After shipment, we confirmed through UPS tracking that the package was delivered safely, so we recorded this as a real packing example that was confirmed delivered.
This item is a black granite plate that can be used as a Sushi Kaiseki Sushigeta Food Plate. It is made from India Granite Black Stone. It can be used for serving sushi, kaiseki-style dishes, Japanese cuisine, or other special food presentations. Although it looks like a thin plate, it weighs about 3.18 kg.
Stone products are hard and durable, but during international shipping, damage can occur if the item shifts inside the packing or if impact concentrates on the corners. For this shipment, we carefully packed the plate using air cushioning, cardboard material, packing tape, stretch film, UPS outer packaging, and a FRAGILE sticker.

This black granite plate has a flat shape and measures about 30 cm × 20 cm. It is not a large stone item, but it still weighs about 3.18 kg. For international shipping, it is important not only to protect the plate itself, but also to keep the packing materials from shifting.
For customers overseas, one of the biggest concerns when buying a stone product from Japan is whether the item will really arrive safely. At Japanstones.shop, we record the actual packing process with photos to help reduce that concern.

What We Focus On When Shipping a Black Granite Plate Internationally
When shipping a black granite plate overseas, the most important points are protecting the surface, protecting the corners, and keeping the packing materials fixed in place.
Stone is a hard and durable material, but a flat plate can receive impact on its corners and edges. For this reason, we first wrapped the entire plate with air cushioning and then protected the outside with cardboard material.
Stone products can be heavier than they look. This plate weighs about 3.18 kg, so even a small amount of movement inside the packing can create strong impact. It is important not only to add cushioning, but also to keep the packing materials from shifting.
For this shipment, we protected the surface and corners of the black granite plate with cardboard material and used stretch film to keep the packing materials in place. Because a flat stone plate can receive impact along its edges, we focused on supporting the full surface and protecting the corners.
Outer Protection and UPS Shipping
For international shipping, it is important to protect not only the item itself, but also the condition of the outer package.
For this shipment, we protected the plate with cardboard material and stretch film, then placed it in UPS outer packaging. The outer packaging also helps reduce rubbing, light dirt, label peeling, and surface wear during transport.
We also attached a FRAGILE / HANDLE WITH CARE sticker so the package could be handled with care during delivery.
This package was shipped to the United States by UPS. Later, we confirmed through UPS tracking that it was delivered to the customer. For that reason, this article records a real packing example that was shipped and confirmed delivered.
