At PACK & SEND Edinburgh East, we specialise in the secure, compliant shipping of medical and laboratory equipment — from diagnostic kits and imaging tools to high-value research instruments.
Our team is trained in handling fragile, large, awkward, valuable, and sensitive (FLAVS) items. We use custom packaging, temperature-sensitive materials where needed, and ensure full compliance with UK and international shipping standards for regulated medical devices.
Whether you're sending analytical equipment to a university, transporting clinical machines to a hospital, or shipping urgent devices overseas, we manage the process from start to finish — including packing, export paperwork, customs clearance, and global delivery.
Trust PACK & SEND Edinburgh East to deliver your medical and lab equipment safely, on time, and with complete logistical confidence..
When shipping laboratory or medical equipment, proper packaging isn’t optional — it’s essential. At PACK & SEND Edinburgh East, we understand the risks involved in transporting sensitive medical devices and lab instruments, particularly when shipping internationally under strict compliance rules.
Unlike standard freight, medical and laboratory shipments require specialised protection against vibration, shock, temperature shifts, and customs delays. Whether you’re moving an oxygen concentrator, pathology analyser, or delicate research tools, we tailor every packing solution to the item’s structure, fragility, and value.
DIY packing is rarely sufficient for medical equipment — it increases the risk of damage, customs rejection, or failed delivery. That’s why our packaging service is built for global standards, combining safety with regulatory precision.
Our specialist services include:
High-strength custom crates for both modern and legacy medical equipment
ISPM15-certified wood for international shipping compliance
Sealed, secure cartons for smaller devices and diagnostic tools
Eligibility for full loss or damage cover when we pack your shipment
Whether you’re organising nationwide medical supply delivery or shipping high-value lab equipment internationally, PACK & SEND Edinburgh East ensures everything is packed safely — and arrives exactly as it should.

When shipping laboratory equipment or medical devices overseas, customs compliance is just as critical as protective packaging. At PACK & SEND Edinburgh East, we provide hands-on customs support and accurate documentation to ensure your shipment clears borders smoothly — avoiding delays, penalties, or returns.
Every country has its own regulations for shipping medical supplies and lab equipment, and those rules often differ by product type, material, and destination. Whether you’re sending diagnostic equipment to Europe or arranging medical device shipping to the US or Asia, we stay up to date on changing import rules to guide you through the process.
Avoid Delays with Expert Customs Guidance
From oxygen concentrators to clinical instruments, our team manages the full documentation process — including item classification, export declarations, and regulatory checks — before your goods are dispatched. This reduces the risk of customs issues and helps keep timelines on track.
By combining our customs knowledge with our specialist medical logistics, you benefit from:
Faster customs clearance and fewer hold-ups
Reduced risk of non-compliance or misclassification
Support with regulatory documentation for restricted items
Full alignment with destination country import laws
Access to our loss and damage protection cover when we pack the goods
Whether you’re a medical supplier, university lab, or NHS facility, trust PACK & SEND Edinburgh East to deliver your equipment securely — and compliantly — anywhere in the world.
