The express shipping industry in China has developed rapidly in recent years. Express shipping is dedicated to small packages. This package type, which is classified as transport package, has a high risk of product damage because of its characteristics. The design of transport packages is closely related to the shipping environment and has been studied by many researchers. However, the reference value of these research results in the context of China is questionable because the logistics environment in the country varies greatly from that abroad. This issue has been the subject of limited research attention, on which convincing research is lacking. This study measures and analyzes the representative express shipping environment in China using the careful design of a test package. Furthermore, the drop height and orientation of the testing package are analyzed to clarified the shock level on the package during shipping. The findings of this research provide a valuable reference for the optimal design of the express packages in China and for packaging performance tests in the laboratory.
