| Shipping Tip |
|
| Protect
Your Product |
|
| Avoid costly damages
by making sure your shipment is protected with
secure packaging. Here are some basic packaging
tips that will help ensure your goods arrive safely: |
|
| • |
|
Stack freight evenly on a pallet and avoid
overhanging. Freight that overhangs the edge
of a pallet has little or no support and can
be damaged when transported. |
|
| • |
|
Place odd-size items in crates for improved
handling. |
|
| • |
|
Place large and heavy freight on pallets
for better handling and greater protection. |
|
| • |
|
Stack cartons vertically to ensure maximum
carton strength. |
|
| • |
|
Secure your freight to a pallet with the
proper banding, shrink-wrap, stretch-wrap,
or adhesive. |
