To pack an item for return, start by selecting a box that's slightly larger than the item to allow for padding. Use bubble wrap or crumpled paper to securely encase the item, ensuring it's immobilized and protected. Seal the box with strong packing tape, covering all openings and reinforcing the bottom. Clearly label the package with the return address and the recipient's address. If the item is fragile, consider including a 'Fragile' sticker on the box. Lastly, include any necessary return forms or documents inside the package or as instructed by the return policy.
