Packaging InformationMaterial must be packaged by the generator 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 a 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 it can be loaded and unloaded easily.
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 should be placed on skids and stacked no higher than five (5) feet then tightly shrink wrapped.
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 also can 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).
