inside the packaging using cardboard or shockproof material. Alternatively, it is also possible to use sturdy cardboard boxes (Secure Pack) which adapts to all types of bottles

Articles irregular shapes

To ensure the safety of workers, items with unusual shapes (with edges or points) must be packaged with different materials.
Heavy products must always be protected by bubble wrap or filling materials, and must be placed in reinforced boxes or alternatively, must be placed on pallets secured with straps or special wooden crates.

Packing computer equipment

To send IT, electronic or similar material, foam rubber or polystyrene must be used depending on the weight and size of the goods.
Once the packaging has been completed, the goods must be placed inside containers of suitable dimensions (cardboard boxes or wooden crates). wood)

Pack paper material

To package paper material, such as newspapers, publications, reams of paper or brochures, padding material must be used and the goods must be placed in document boxes or shockproof plastic bags.

Pack bulky items

Objects such as bicycles, furniture, pipes, require special packaging to prevent them from bending, flexing or being damaged during transport.
For this reason we recommend making the shipment volume as small and compact as possible by removing each removable piece, wrapping it with packaging material and placing it inside the box.
Correct preparation of the goods and packaging will facilitate the transport and safety of the goods and also represents a significant economic saving.

Pack barrels and drums

To pack barrels or drums containing liquids or powders, they must be secured to the pallet due to their excessive weight. Make sure that the weight does not exceed the limit supported by the pallet and use shockproof cardboard or wooden material between the barrels, under the straps or straps to stabilize the load, finally, make sure that the load is concentrated as much as possible in the center of the pallet .

Packing one box

• Use a new parallelepiped-shaped corrugated cardboard box, certified for the weight to be shipped, at least double corrugated with high resistance, which is suitable for the items to be shipped. During transport, other packages may overlap with yours.
• If you are reusing a box, remove all labels and barcodes present, the box must have free surfaces on which the courier will affix the transport documentation.
• Protect each side internally with at least 5 cm of shockproof material and fill any empty space inside the package with polystyrene, or other filling material. This allows you to avoid damage caused by collisions between products and protects them from shocks and vibrations resulting from external stresses during transport
• Seal your packages well with packing tape or strong scotch tape, it is important to apply a layer along the entire seam of the package opening.
• Make sure there are no protrusions or sharp points on the package, so as to avoid breaking the box.

Packing with a pallet

• Choose a good quality pallet, which is not damaged or damp anywhere. Damaged pallets can put your shipment and those of others, as well as the transport personnel, at risk.
• Arrange the packages on the pallet in a column, in order to have a stable and resistant structure; the boxes must fit precisely inside the pallet without protruding beyond the edge.
• Secure everything to the pallet with wrapping and/or wrapping with stretch film, so as to form a single non-separable unit. NB the wrapping must include the pallet itself.
• AFTER HAVING CORRECTLY PACKED THE GOODS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PRINT AND PLACE THE CONSIGNMENT BILL ON THE PACKAGES!
• Affix the labels in a clear and evident way, during transport the pallets could be stacked, therefore the labels must be applied laterally and not on the upper surface.

Pack a suitcase

• Wrap the luggage with at least three turns of transparent film and tie the end of the film to the grip or handle of the suitcase
• After packing the goods, remember to print and attach the consignment note to the shipment packages
• Place the waybill on a clearly visible side of the suitcase.

Pack fragile goods

• With fragile objects, always use double-walled boxes to protect the products from impacts and maintain rigidity, even if stacked on top of each other.
• Place a filler under, above and on the sides of the fragile object with a minimum thickness of 5 centimeters so that the object remains positioned in the center of the box.
• Always use foam cushions that adapt perfectly to the shape of the object, protecting it from impacts. Simply place one above and one below the product.

Packing paintings

• If the painting is protected by glass, attach paper adhesive tape to it, forming an 'X' to keep the glass together if it breaks during transport.
• Place a layer of large bubble wrap on a surface and place the front of the painting on top of it, which is the most delicate part, and wrap the entire painting with at least 2 layers of bubble wrap
• Use low density expanded polyethylene corners to protect the corners from impacts.
• Insert the painting into modular containers made of double-corrugated rigid cardboard with internal padding.
