Fedex, Nebs, Cric and ASTM are all standards designed to improve this confusion and reduce damage to your product. The issue quickly becomes, <strong>what standard do you follow<\/strong>? It is even more complex when you add multiple packaging materials such as corrugated, foam and wood crating. It is imperative to use a <strong>reliable packaging company<\/strong> that understands the industry as well as industry materials. This company must meet the specific <strong>test standards<\/strong> your company follows as a rule, while keeping in mind <strong>industry standards<\/strong>. Lovepac uses the following criteria to get started \u2013 the list below will help you out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask yourself&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Weight of Product<br \/>\n2. Fragility of product<br \/>\n3. Any vibration concerns<br \/>\n4. Value of product (packaging is ideally no more than 1% of the value of your product) 5. Where is it being shipped (local or exported world wide)<br \/>\n6. How is it being shipped (pallet, courier, local transport, air, sea, rail&#8230;)<br \/>\n7. Labelling and printing of packaging<br \/>\n8. ROHS, HT, and other international restrictions or needs to comply to<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>best solution<\/strong> is to contact a professional packaging company that will provide you with a <strong>full sample<\/strong> that will allow you to do your own <strong>internal drop tests<\/strong>. You can also, send yourself a shipment and see how it holds up. Take the time to get the right packaging, it will <strong>save<\/strong> you lots of money later and improve your customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Call Rob Sibthorpe for more information about specific test standards to implement for your company: (514) 904-4300.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A drop test is riddled with little understanding and lots  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6041,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
