How to Pack Your Knives for Mailing

(Simple. Safe. Takes 5 minutes.)

You do not need special packaging. Everything you need is probably already in your house.

Step 1: Clean and dry

Give your knives a quick wash and dry them well. This prevents rust during shipping.

Step 2: Protect the blades

Safety first. Wrap each knife so the blade is completely covered.

Easy options:

Newspaper or wrapping paper works best

• Paper towels

• Cardboard folded over the blade

Wrap snugly so no sharp edges are exposed.

Step 3: Secure the wrap

Use tape or rubber bands to keep the wrapping from sliding off.
Do not tape directly to the blade.

Step 4: Box them up

• Use USPS Medium Flat Rate box or the large flat rate if shipping many items. Eight item minium for them medium size box and 16 items minimum for the large box.

• Lay knives flat or diagonally.

Step 5: Stop the rattle

Fill the empty space with crumpled newspaper, paper towels, or scrap paper so nothing moves when you shake the box. This is very important. “If it aint tight, it aint right!”

A quick safety note

Knives must be wrapped so they cannot cut through the box or injure postal workers. If in doubt, add another layer of paper. Easy.
