How to Package Furniture
Packaging your freight appropriately is a crucial step in ensuring it remains unharmed during its time in transit. Keep in mind that your precious rocking chair or grandfather clock will be in a trailer among heavy and bulky items such as an engine.
Your duty and obligation is to package your freight well enough so that nothing happens to it.
PRO TIP: Crate your freight & save some money! Transporting unpackaged furniture can be very costly. Box, crate, or palletize your freight shipment to save up to 50% or more on shipping costs.
Need help packaging your furniture, office systems, or machinery? Talk to your FreightCenter Agent about professional packaging options at an additional cost.
Crate
A suitable option that can offer adequate protection for your most fragile items. Be sure to stuff the remaining space in the crate with material such as bunched-up newspaper to prevent your item from shifting during transit.
Pallet
Whether you have several stackable items or one large item, a pallet is another option for packaging your freight. The item(s)should not exceed the dimensions of the pallet or hang over the edge.
If your item is fragile, first wrap it in several layers of bubble wrap. Afterward, shrink-wrap everything to the pallet and ensure it won’t move.
Box
A cardboard box does offer protection, though not much. If your item is not that fragile, this option is suitable. The box should be filled with packing peanuts to fill the space.
Barrel or Drums
This option is similar to a crate. The drum or barrel will protect your freight well, you just need to make sure you fill the remaining empty space with a material so your item is not bouncing around during its travel.
