STEP BY STEP PROCEDURES

1. Use a corrugated box

Use a new box. The more a box is used, the more it loses its original protective qualities and may not adequately protect your shipment. If you must reuse a box, make sure it is rigid and in excellent condition with no punctures, tears, rips, or corner damage, and that all flaps are intact. Remove any labels and other shipment markings from the box. Choose a box strength that is suitable for its contents. Never exceed the maximum gross weight for the box, which is usually printed on the Box Maker’s Certificate on the bottom flap.

2. Provide internal protection

It's important to cushion the contents of your package properly.

Wrap each item separately. Fragile articles need both suitable separation from each other and clearance from the corners and sides of the box. Each item should be surrounded by at least two inches of cushioning and be placed at least two inches away from the walls of the box. This will prevent product-against-product damage and protect the contents from shock and vibration, which can pass from the outside of the box to the contents.

Proper cushioning material, combined with a strong outer container, will protect your shipment. Use enough cushioning material to ensure that the contents cannot move when you shake the box. The following materials can be used for cushioning and protection:

3. Close it securely

Proper closure is just as important as adequate cushioning. To close a box securely, use a strong tape - two inches or more in width - such as the types described below:

• Pressure-sensitive plastic or nylon-reinforced tape.
• Generally the easiest, most convenient tape to use. It is versatile because it will adhere without water and can stick to a variety of surfaces and shapes.
• Apply three strips to both the top and bottom of the box.
• Water-activated reinforced tape.
• Use 60-pound grade tape at least three inches wide.
• Due to the reinforcing fibers, only two center-seam strips of tape are required for both the top and bottom of the box.
• Do not use masking tape, cellophane tape, duct tape, string, or paper over-wrap.
