How to Reduce Damage and Loss with Pallets
Pallets are a secure and effective way to transport large quantities of goods. Professional palletizing services like those found at Packing Service, Inc. can give you peace of mind by packing and loading your pallets carefully.
However, inexperienced companies who practice improper pallet handling and storage practices can cause damage and loss of your goods. Read on to learn how experts in shipping pallets reduce damage and protect goods during transport.
Pallet Inspections
Pallets may be reused, so they must be inspected for damage before use. Look for loose boards or nails and other signals of wear and tear that could cause issues while transporting.
Assessment of Customer Needs
Customer needs vary, so not all pallets will suffice. Professionals get the facts from customers up front so they can recommend the ideal pallet structure, size, and durability. This allows for proper packing and loading of your items.
Practicing Proper Stacking Techniques
Shipping pallets are designed to be stacked. However, using the wrong technique could cause damage to the boards, resulting in less than secure conditions for shipping your goods. Pallet supports and other tools can help maintain the integrity of stacked pallets.
Using the Right Materials
Reputable palletizing services will have the right packaging materials to secure your items on the pallet. Shrink wrap, strapping, and high-quality cardboard boxes are appropriate for shipping pallets loaded with goods.
Experienced Teams
The most important thing is that the crew packing and loading your pallet has experience. At Packing Service, Inc., each member of our team must have at least one year of experience before getting hired. We take pride in our palletizing services and we know that a strong team provides strong results.
