You’ve browsed our collection, you’ve found the perfect, elegant set of ceramic chopsticks, and you’re ready to make them your own. But then, a thought might cross your mind:
“They’re beautiful, but they’re ceramic. Will they actually survive a journey from the workshop to my home, potentially halfway across the world?”
It’s a completely valid question. The delicate nature of porcelain is part of its charm, but it also requires special attention during transit. We want to pull back the curtain and show you the meticulous, multi-layered process we use to ensure that your order arrives at your doorstep in perfect condition, whether you live in Singapore or San Francisco.
It All Starts with a Quality Product
First, it’s important to know that high-quality Jingdezhen porcelain is denser and more durable than ordinary ceramic. While it is still a delicate material, it is crafted for longevity. Our commitment to safe delivery starts by selecting products that are well-made and resilient from the beginning.
The Art of Protective Packaging: A Multi-Layered Approach
Our packing philosophy is simple: no movement, no shock. We achieve this through a careful, step-by-step process.
- Step 1: The Individual Sleeve Each individual chopstick is first placed in a soft paper or foam sleeve. This initial layer prevents the chopsticks from clinking against each other, which could cause micro-fractures or surface scratches.
- Step 2: The Secure Inner Box The sleeved chopsticks are then placed into their custom-designed inner box. This is often a beautiful gift box with fitted inserts—molded compartments lined with satin or dense foam. These inserts hold each chopstick snugly in place, ensuring there is absolutely no room for them to move or rattle during transit.
- Step 3: The Cushioning Cocoon The entire inner box is then generously wrapped in a thick layer of shock-absorbing material, such as bubble wrap or eco-friendly paper padding. This “cocoon” is the primary defence against bumps, drops, and the general turbulence of international shipping.
- Step 4: The Sturdy Outer Fortress Finally, the cushioned box is placed inside a strong, double-walled corrugated shipping box. We choose a box that is just the right size—not so large that the contents can shift, and not so small that there’s no room for cushioning. Any empty space is filled with additional packing material to create a firm, solid block.
- Step 5: The Final Seal and Signal The outer box is securely sealed with strong packing tape. We then label it clearly with “Fragile” and “Handle with Care” notices, giving a final, clear instruction to every courier who will handle it on its journey.
