Packing and Shipping
Our philosphy to reutilize America's resources is further supported by our practice of reusing most of the packaging supplies we receive. When machines and parts are shipped to us, where practical, we save a majority of the packaging materials, crates and boxes for future use. This reutilization practice reduces landfill costs, costs to our customers, and ultimately helps our environment through preservation of resources. A large paper shredder shreds used cardboard boxes to be used as packing materials.
We can produce custom size cartons using double wall cardboard and construct wooden crates that conform to ISPM 15 international standards required for export. We also use 10 mil shrink film when appropriate, as can be seen in the below photos. OUr forklifts can handle up to 15,000 lbs and can load from the dock or ground.
Freight items are securly banded before being wrapped with cardboard, stretch film or shrink wrap.
Surplus heat shrink plastic once intended to wrap currency by the US mint, now protects some machinery we ship.
