At this location our number one goal is to pack and ship your boxes so that they can arrive in the same condition they were packed to any destination in the world. There are some guidelines we use and tips on how we safely package your items in boxes and envelopes and also ways to save on packaging supplies and shipping material purchases.
Here are the steps we use to ensure that your special package will arrive on time and in one piece to the location we ship it.
1) SPECIAL CUSHIONING
We use lots of different packaging supplies and cushioning material to protect the sides, top and bottom of any item shipped so as to fill in any spaces and void areas. Depending on the item being shipped we look at the suitable thickness and appropriate density of the product and will fill the area with one or more of these packaging supplies:
2) Ideal Shipping Boxes
If you are shipping non-fragile products we can place them inside a sturdy box with a strong outer covering.
3) PERFECT SEALING A STURDY
We think it’s important to have your package sealed in such a way so as it will not open up and spill. One of the best methods is to apply three to four strips of tape used for packaging around the sides of containers using the H taping method. This method is an easy way to quickly seal a cardboard box using a handheld tape dispenser so as to reduce wasting the tape. The flaps of the box are all sealed and in the end the top of the box will form the letter “H” on the box when you look at it from the top. This method is also used to make sure there has not been any tampering with the box. Water-activated and pressure-sensitive tape made from plastic is used during harsh weather conditions where the boxes may become exposed to water and humidity.
4) ACCURATE LABELING
The address of the recipient is placed in a part of the container which is away from the seams and folds so that it will be visible and clearly detectable.
