Match packaging to the load, route and handling method

Packaging decisions should protect the load through storage, handling and transport. A strapping or wrapping request becomes much easier to assess when the following is known.

• Load type and dimensions: Describe the goods, pallet size, weight and any sharp or fragile edges.
• Movement and storage: Specify whether the shipment will be handled by forklift, stored outdoors or transported long distance.
• Securement method: Identify whether you need strapping, buckles, stretch wrap, edge protection or a combination.
• Quantity and repeat use: Tell us if this is a one-off dispatch or a recurring packaging requirement.
