The Parcel System: A Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Building your own travel container system can feel overwhelming with so many options on the market. But with a magnetic system like The Parcel, you can create a customized, leakproof kit that fits your exact needs. This step-by-step guide will walk you through assembling your Parcel system from start to finish, ensuring you have a secure and organized travel companion.

Whether you're a frequent flyer or a weekend adventurer, understanding how to set up your magnetic containers properly will save you time, space, and frustration. Let's dive into the process.

Step 1: Choose Your Base Capsule

The foundation of your Parcel system is the capsule. Start by selecting a capsule that matches your travel volume. For short trips, a single Large Capsule may suffice, while longer journeys might require multiple capsules or a larger Parcel. Consider the South Korea The Large Capsule for a sleek, durable option that holds enough for a week's worth of toiletries. Its magnetic base ensures a secure connection to other components.

If you need more capacity, the Belgium The Large Capsule offers a similar footprint with a different aesthetic. Both are fully leakproof and compatible with the entire Parcel system. Choose based on your style preference and the amount of product you need to carry.

• Assess your trip duration and product volume before choosing a capsule size.
• All Large Capsules are interchangeable, so mix and match as needed.

Step 2: Add Parcels for Organization

Once you have your capsule, it's time to add Parcels. These are the individual containers that hold your specific products. The Parcel system allows you to stack multiple Parcels onto a single capsule, creating a modular tower. Start with The Parcel, a versatile medium-sized container perfect for lotions, creams, or gels. Its leakproof design ensures no spills, even in checked luggage.

For smaller items like contact lens solution or makeup remover, The Mini Ink Parcel is ideal. It snaps onto the magnetic base just like its larger counterparts. You can arrange Parcels in any order, so place frequently used items on top for easy access.

• Label each Parcel with a permanent marker or use clear labels to avoid confusion.
• Stack Parcels in the order you'll use them: daily essentials on top.

Step 3: Secure the Magnetic Connection

The magic of the Parcel system lies in its magnetic assembly. Each component contains strong magnets that snap together with a satisfying click. To ensure a leakproof seal, press each Parcel firmly onto the capsule until you hear or feel the magnetic lock. The magnets are powerful enough to keep everything together during travel but easy to separate when needed.

For added security, especially when packing in a bag, give the assembled system a gentle shake to confirm all connections are tight. If any component wobbles, detach and reattach it. The magnetic system is designed for quick assembly and disassembly, so don't be afraid to reconfigure as needed.

• Always test the magnetic connection by holding the system upside down over a soft surface.
• Avoid overfilling Parcels to maintain a clean magnetic seal.

Step 4: Fill and Seal Parcels Properly

To maintain leakproof integrity, fill each Parcel no more than 90% full. This leaves room for air pressure changes during flights. Screw the lids on tightly until you feel the silicone gasket compress. The Parcel system uses a double-seal mechanism: a threaded lid and an inner gasket. For liquids, consider using the included funnel to avoid spills.

If you're carrying multiple liquids, group them by viscosity: thicker creams on the bottom, thinner serums on top. This reduces the risk of leakage due to pressure. Remember to wipe the threads clean before sealing to ensure a perfect fit.

• Use the provided funnel for easy filling of liquid products.
• Store filled Parcels upright for 24 hours before travel to check for leaks.

Step 5: Assemble and Pack Your System

With all Parcels filled and sealed, it's time to assemble your final system. Stack the Parcels onto your chosen capsule in the desired order. If you have a Large Capsule, it acts as the base, but you can also attach an Extender (sold separately) to add more height. The modular design means you can create a tower that fits perfectly in your toiletry bag or carry-on.

Once assembled, place the system in a dedicated pouch or directly in your luggage. The magnetic connection keeps everything together, so you won't lose individual containers. For extra organization, use the Canvas Parcel to store non-liquid items like cotton pads or hair ties alongside your liquid Parcels.

• Pack the assembled system vertically to maximize space.
• Consider using a separate pouch for your Parcel system to keep it clean.

Now that you know how to set up your Parcel system, you're ready to travel with confidence. Start with a capsule like the Canada The Large Capsule and build your custom kit. Explore the full range of Parcel components to create the perfect travel companion for any adventure.
