Care Package Checklist: Free Download Included

Updated: Sep 26, 2022

Sending care packages can be a daunting task. From which box to use to filling out the custom forms, there is a lot to do!


If you are anything like me, then having a checklist really helps make sure a task not seem so overwhelming.



I've complied a checklist of the step-by-step process of putting together a care package.



Step 1: Grab your box. Any box will work but often your best bet for cheapest shipping is using the USPS Flat Rate boxes.


Step 2: Decide on the theme. Will this be for a holiday? Just because? Plan out how you will decorate your box.


Step 3: Decorate your box. Time for the fun part! Decorate your box however you want. Be sure to only decorate the inside box flaps.


Step 4: Time to go shopping. Make a list of the items you want to include in your care package and then head to the store! Be sure to avoid banned items when making your list.


Step 5: Pack your box. If needed, protect your items using bubble wrap or Ziploc bags. Place heavy items on bottom and lighter items on top. Don't forget a love note!



Step 6: Tape your box. Tape your box....and tape it some more! You can never have too much tape.


Step 7: Fill out the customs form and ship your box. Want to skip the line at the post offie? Check out USPS.com to purchase your postage and fill out your customs form.
