Packaging Information

Material must be packaged by the customer for pickup.


The material must be placed on pallets, either in Gaylord boxes or shrink wrapped directly to the pallet. By packing the items tightly on the pallet or within a Gaylord box, breakage and shifting is diminished. By using pallets, the material can be loaded and/or unloaded in an efficient and safe manner. The use of a forklift and loading dock is therefore required. If an item is bigger than a pallet or Gaylord (such as cabinets or mainframes or any other large electronic item), the item must be placed in the trailer in such a way that it can be loaded and unloaded easily.


Printers:

  • Printers should be placed on skids and tightly shrink wrapped if they are able to be stacked in a safe manner.
  • Otherwise, place printers neatly in a Gaylord container or boxes.
  • Gaylord boxes must be secured on a pallet.

Small Items:

  • Mice, keyboards and cables can also be placed in a Gaylord or smaller box.
    The Gaylord box must be secured on a pallet for loading/unloading efficiency.

Pallet Identification:

  • Each pallet must be marked/labeled with point of origin (please write company name and date of shipment on pallet with magic marker).
Monitors

Monitors:

  • Monitors should be placed on skids and stacked no more than five (5) tiers high.
  • Cardboard should be placed between each tier.
  • The monitors should be placed face down on the cardboard to protect the screens.
  • Tightly wrap each layer several times with shrink wrap.
  • Pull the shrink wrap tight to ensure the product does not shift or come apart
    during shipment.

CPUs

CPUs:

  • CPUs should be placed on skids and stacked no higher than five (5) feet then tightly shrink wrapped.
