Properly Package Your Freight
Proper packaging protects your shipment during transit. Many claims and damages arise from improper packaging, and packaging errors may eliminate or reduce your carrier’s liability.
The packaging you select must be appropriate for your product. Use cartons, crates, cages or drums for protection. Wrapping (“shrouding”) your shipment with blankets or other cushioning material and/or securing it to a pallet is also effective.
Shipment Quick Facts
Shipments can be secured using stretch- or shrink-wrap, banding, spray adhesive, etc. Proper packaging will also help define the “cube” of your shipment, making it easier to load “tight.”
