PACKAGING


Packing

¤ Telecommunications equipment is comprised of thousands of chips, circuit boards, interfaces, adapters and a myriad of sensitive components.

¤  It is imperative that modules, chassis, adapters and interfaces be packed to endure the vagaries of transport.

¤ Domestic and International shipping can cause undue stress and damage to the contents if not properly packed.


Supplies Required


¤ Anti Static Bags ¤ Foam Carriers ¤ Double Wall Boxes ¤ Packing Tape ¤  Anti Static Bubble Wrap ¤  Anti Static Peanuts ¤  Labels

Packing Modules


¤ Always use a ground strap on wrist

¤  Place module in Anti-Static Bag

¤  It is best to handle the modules by griping the face plate

Anti Static Face


¤  Seal the bag with anti-static stickers

¤  Place module in Anti-Static foam Shipper

¤ Close the Shipper

Anti-Static Foam Shippers


¤  Seal the shipper with anti-static stickers

¤ Module is now ready to aggregate In double wall container with other modules

Double Wall Box


¤  Place a double layer of anti-static bubble wrap in the bottom of the box

¤ Make sure that there is ample coverage at the base of the box.

Place Foam Shippers


¤  Place the modules in the box with no separation and ample space on the interior perimeter.

¤  The carton is ready for the suspension packing.

Fill With Suspension Packing


¤  Fill the box with suspension packaging to prevent damage to the modules in transit.

¤  We choose to use anti-static heavy duty peanuts or a foam gun.

Compress Peanuts


¤  If you are using peanuts, make sure to compress the peanuts down around the edges.

¤  These modules only weigh 6 lbs. each, so peanuts can be used in this application.

¤  Make sure to overfill the box and compress the peanuts when sealing the container.

Layer of Anti Static Bubble Wrap


¤  Place a layer of anti-static bubble wrap over the peanuts to contain the peanuts and provide further anti-static properties.

¤  It is important to understand that a full box provides the structural integrity to the box. An under filled box will generally lead to crushed parcels.

Seal With Packing Tape


¤  Seal the box with heavy duty fiber lined kraft tape.

¤  Be sure to seal all exposed edges of the box as shown here.

Seal All Edges


¤ As you can see the parcel is not bulging nor is it under filled with suspension packaging

¤  The carton is now ready to affix shipping labels

Affix Labels


¤ Affix shipping labels, notices and other labels

¤ Weigh the container and take note of the dimensions for shipping

¤  The box is now ready to ship.

EXPRESS VS.

FREIGHT


Individual Express or Freight Shipping


¤ Depending on the size of the shipment, one has to consider whether to use Individual Express shipping or freight by palletizing a shipment.

¤  By palletizing a shipment, a shipper can reduce the event of lost boxes.

¤  Palletizing a shipment can reduce the wear and tear of the individual boxes due to less movement and rough handling.

¤  This does not mitigate however fork lift damage and double stacking issues.

Individual Express or Freight Shipping


¤  If you do not have the proper tools to palletize, then individual parcel shipping may be your only solution.

¤  When you create the shipping manifest documents, make sure that you chose a “multiple package option”

¤  Although you will need a separate shipping label for each box, they will be labeled 1 of 1, 1 of 2, 1 of 3, etc. This will help reduce the event of a partial delivery or lost parcel.

¤  Affix your own labeling on 8x11 labels to each package with the destination address and a note that is “1” of a larger shipment.

¤  For customs issue attach copies of the commercial invoice to each package, in case the master box gets lost. This will reduce customs clearance times.

PALLET SHIPPING


Choose Proper Pallet


¤ Organize boxes on proper size pallet.

¤  Label contents for identification by customs/end user

¤  Take Inventory for waybill and commercial Invoice

Strap To The Pallet


¤  Strap Boxes to the pallet using a poly strapping system. Make sure to get adequate tension but not enough to collapse the boxes.

¤ Use heavy duty edge protectors and strap protectors.

Stretch Wrap Pallet


¤ Wrap shipment in stretch wrap.

¤  For International shipments you may want to use transparent stretch wrap rather than opaque for viewing customs purposes.

¤ Affix labels, commercial invoices and waybill.
