Quick Answer • Key Takeaway

For secure LBC document shipping, place documents inside a waterproof plastic sleeve or polyfolder, use an official LBC N-Pack document pouch, ensure tamper-evident adhesive seals are firmly pressed, declare document valuation accurately, and track using the 12-digit waybill number.

Core Points at a Glance:

Never send loose paper; always place documents inside a rigid plastic envelope or sleeve.
N-Pack Slim and N-Pack Small are specifically designed for flat document shipping.
Consular visa passports use specialized 15-digit VCargo courier envelopes.
Sign across the sealing flap for sensitive legal and notarized contracts.

Protecting Documents Against Water and Bending

Courier transport across tropical climates exposes packages to monsoonal rain and humidity. Follow these three protective steps:

Use Waterproof Plastic Sleeves

Insert birth certificates, passports, and contracts into a sealed zip-lock bag or plastic document sleeve before putting them into the courier pouch.

Add Rigid Cardboard Backing

Sandwich original certificates between two sheets of stiff corrugated cardboard to prevent dog-eared corners or folding during conveyor sorting.

Seal With Tamper-Evident Tape

Press the self-adhesive pouch strip firmly. For legal filings, write your signature across the adhesive boundary.
