TikTok Shop strives to ensure a smooth shipping process for all products sold on our platform. As such, this article guides sellers on the recommended packaging methods used for small Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) orders. These methods ensure that products sold are better protected from potential damage and reduce the risk of loss in logistic service provider networks.What are Small SKUs?
Small SKUs have a maximum dimension of 24cm length x 16cm width x 1.5cm height.Common examples of small SKUs include:
- Collectible items, such as trading cards
- Jewellery, such as necklaces and rings
Recommended Packaging for Small SKU Orders
| Recommended Packaging | Examples |
| It is advised that sellers package small SKUs in carton folders or sleeves greater than 1.5cm in height. |   |
| It is acceptable for sellers to package small SKUs in padded envelopes (ie envelopes with protective padding, such as bubble wrap). |  |
| TikTok Shop strongly encourages using carton folders instead of polybags or plastic sleeves for small SKUs. Carton folders are more durable and less likely to be caught in shipping. Should sellers decide to use polybags, a cardboard insert to increase the thickness of the package is highly recommended.Example: Polybag with cardboard insert |  |
