Packaging material for Flipkart sellers
Flipkart sellers ship everything from clothes to electronics, so the kit is wider: courier bags for soft goods, packing tape and FRAGILE tape for cartons, cushioning for anything that can break, 4 x 6 inch shipping labels and packing list envelopes. PackSmith sells all of these, from small packs to bulk. PackSmith is not affiliated with Flipkart.
Check this first: Flipkart approved packaging
Flipkart's seller blog (October 2025) recommends authorised or approved packaging, built to Flipkart's standards, over local packaging. Our bags and tapes are not Flipkart approved packaging, so check what your category needs in Seller Hub before you buy. Whatever bag or box you use, the tape, labels, cushioning and fragile marking on this page still apply.
What to buy
- Courier bags: 60 micron, tamper-evident, with a POD jacket, in six sizes from 6x8 to 14x18 inch, 100 bags a pack.
- Packing tape: 2 inch clear or brown BOPP tape for most cartons, 3 inch for heavy ones, or our blue printed tape for Flipkart sellers. Delhivery's packaging guidelines ask for pressure-sensitive tape such as BOPP, with the H method on heavy boxes.
- Cushioning: honeycomb paper wrap around glass, ceramics and electronics, and void fill paper in the gaps of the carton.
- FRAGILE tape: red on white, 2 inch x 65 m, on top of the carton.
- Labels and invoices: 4 x 6 inch direct thermal labels, and packing list envelopes to keep the invoice on a carton. Check that the label size set in Seller Hub matches your label roll.
