Factors to Consider Before Shipping Acoustic Panels
Shipping acoustic panels takes more than just placing them in a box. Because these panels are designed to control sound, even minor damage—like dents, tears, or moisture exposure—can impact their effectiveness. Before booking your shipment, here are a few important factors to keep in mind:
What kind of acoustic panels are you shipping?
Acoustic panels come in many forms—wall-mounted, ceiling-suspended, bass traps, or free-standing. Each type has a different shape, size, and material, which can affect how it should be packed and shipped. Foam panels may be more lightweight but need moisture protection. Wood or perforated panels require impact resistance.
What material are they made of?
Panels can be made of foam, fiberglass, perforated wood/metal, or wrapped in fabric. Some materials are more delicate than others. Foam can compress easily, while fiberglass may shed or get damaged if unsealed. Understanding your panel’s composition will help you choose the right packing materials.
Are your panels fragile or easily deformed?
Yes—most acoustic panels are. Foam and fiberglass panels can warp or dent, and fabric-wrapped options can snag or tear. Handling them without proper protection risks compromising their performance.
Are your panels valuable or part of a large shipment?
If you’re shipping multiple panels or fulfilling a larger order, it’s even more important to secure them correctly. Damage during transit could lead to costly replacements, missed deadlines, or inconsistent sound quality when installed.
Which carrier will handle your shipment?
Not all carriers are equipped to handle fragile or oddly-shaped acoustic materials. FreightCenter works with trusted carriers that understand the care required to move these types of products safely.
Tips for Packing Acoustic Panels
Proper packaging is essential to protect your acoustic panels from damage during transit. Here’s how to pack them the right way:
-
Wrap each panel individually using bubble wrap, foam sheets, or plastic wrap. Ensure edges and corners are fully covered.
-
Use corner protectors made from foam or cardboard to prevent crushing or denting.
-
Choose strong boxes. Use double-walled, corrugated boxes that match the dimensions of your panels.
-
Line the bottom of the box with padding like foam inserts, packing peanuts, or air cushions to create a soft base.
-
Stack panels carefully without over-compressing them. Use padding between each layer to avoid friction damage.
-
Reinforce the box with packing tape along all seams and edges.
-
Label clearly. Apply “Fragile” and “This Side Up” labels to alert handlers.
