Packing :
** Every postal article has to be date stamped, and is liable to a great deal of pressure and friction in the mail bags and during transit. All articles, therefore, which are likely to suffer from stamping or pressure, should be racked in strong covers.

The Post Office cannot take any special precautions to secure the safety of fragile articles. When wax cloth is used for the protection of a parcel, packet, or letter, it should be used a an inside cover, or there should at least be sufficient strong paper secured

Fastened outside the wax cloth to receive the impression of the Post Office date stamps and any postage stamps which have to be affixed to the article.

** Special rules regarding the packing of particular classes of article are given in the rules of the Guide relating to insured articles and printed matter open packets and parcels under the Inland Post, and in the rude relating to printed papers, samples, and insured parcels under the Foreign Post. These rules are absolute rules, for the breach of which a penalty is prescribed in each case.

Sealing :
The public are advised not to use sealing wax for seals on unregistered letters and packets, except when such seals are necessary for the protection of the articles.

When sealing wax is used for seals on letters and packets, a piece of tissue or other thin paper should be laid on the wax before the seal is applied, as otherwise both the articles themselves a well as those with which they come in contact in transit are liable b injury from the sealing wax adhering to other articles.

This precaution is specially necessary in the case of articles for the United Kingdom an( foreign countries as such articles have to pass through very warm regions.

Advantage of Prepayment of Postage :
Articles on which the postage has not been prepaid, or has not beer fully prepaid, represent money that has to be realized by the Post Office and are therefore forwarded and delivered under special arrangements which necessarily involve delay.
