Packing Different Items

TUBES

Heavy cylinders should be strapped to a pallet, being sure to avoid overhang. Make your pallet stackable. Lighter tubeshaped items can be packed in a triangular shipping tube.

UNBOXED ITEMS

Large unpackaged items should be strapped to a pallet. You can then build a protective wooden frame around them or cover with an overturned box. Use additional padding to protect any sharp exposed edges.

SHARP/PROTRUDING ITEMS

Sharp items must be wrapped in protective padding before being placed in a box. Never allow anything to protrude from a packed box, as it risks getting damaged when stacked. If necessary, use a larger box or consider a pallet.

HEAVY/OVERSIZED ITEMS

Maximum weight and dimensions vary per service. For shipments exceeding 2.4m x 1.2m x 1.5m (L x W x H) or 500 kg, please contact Customers service.

LABELLING

Remove old labels. Find a flat surface to affix your routing label and any special handling labels required. On materials like wood, rubber or fabric, use additional tape, staples or glue to secure your labels.
