How to Write the Correct Address for Sending Packages

When sending a package, writing the correct address is key to ensuring that the item arrives at its destination without any problems. Mistakes in writing the address can cause delays in delivery, or even cause the package not to arrive.

Therefore, it is important to understand what components should be written and how to format them on the package. By knowing the correct address writing, the shipping process becomes more efficient and reliable.

In this article, we will discuss in full what important information needs to be included when sending a package, as well as how to write the correct address according to shipping standards, so that the package sent does not get lost or returned.

What You Need to Write to Send a Package

In order for the package delivery process to run smoothly, the following is the data that must be written on the package:

Sender Name and Address

The sender's name must be written completely and clearly. Include the complete address where the package is sent, as a reference in case of a return. The sender's address is usually written on the top left of the package.

Example:

Name: Andi Pratama  

Jl. Melati No. 10, RT 04 RW 06, Kel. Sukamaju, Kec. Cibinong, Kab. Bogor, Jawa Barat 16912  

Nama Penerima

Tuliskan nama penerima secara lengkap dan sesuai dengan identitas resmi (KTP atau identitas lainnya). Hindari penggunaan nama panggilan atau singkatan agar tidak menimbulkan kebingungan saat pengantaran.

Recipient's name

This is the most important part in writing a correct address. Make sure to write the complete address from the street name, house number, RT/RW, sub-district, district, city/regency, province, to postal code.

Example:

Name: Budi Santoso  

Jl. Anggrek No. 25, RT 02 RW 01, Kel. Karanganyar, Kec. Kebayoran Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta 12130

Recipient's Mobile Number

Include the recipient's active phone number to make it easier for the courier during delivery. This number can be written below the recipient's address.

Example:

No. HP: 0812-3456-7890

How to Write an Address Correctly

Correct address writing is not only about completeness of data, but also its placement position on the package. Here is a complete guide:

1. Use clear, easy-to-read block letters. Avoid illegible handwriting or faint small letters.
2. Write the recipient's address in the middle of the package. This makes it easier for officers to read and scan the recipient's data.
3. The return address is written in the upper left corner. This format makes it easier to return if delivery fails.
4. Use the correct postal code. Postal codes are essential for sorting and routing shipments.
5. Include the recipient's phone number. Write it neatly below the recipient's address so the courier can contact you if needed.

By following this correct address writing format, the risk of errors in the delivery process can be minimized.

Correct address writing is the main foundation of any package delivery service. Every element—the sender's name, the recipient's full name and address, and an active phone number—must be written neatly and in the recommended position. The correct format not only speeds up the delivery process but also ensures that the package reaches the right hands.
