In shipment proper packing is necessary，because it not only protects the goods from damage but also prevents the goods from pilferage as well. Moreover，in ocean transportation，strong packing is needed to w ithstand rough handling. In most cases，damages have been caused by improper packing. We have to pay more attention to packing so as to avoid damage that occurred during transit.

This letter is from the seller to the buyer，giving the information about differentmethods of packing of crews.
