FreightCenter Assists in Ensuring Garage Floor Tiles are Properly Packaged
Gather/Organize Materials:
Ensure you have all the materials before packaging. It is highly recommended to have strong cardboard boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, foam padding, corner protectors, and packing paper. Be sure to have an adequate amount of all of these materials. Before you package the tiles, ensure they are clean, dry, and free of contaminants like oil and grease.
Wrap/Stack Tiles:
To prevent scratching or damage to the tiles, consider wrapping each tile individually in bubble wrap or foam padding. Secure the foam wrap with tape. Place the tiles in stacks or rows within the package, and ensure they fit snugly and securely and will not move during transit. Use corner protectors to prevent damage to the edges of the tiles.
Filler Materials:
Use foam padding or packing paper to fill any extra space in the box to prevent shifting during transit. The goal is to keep the tiles as secure as possible.
Seal/Label:
Close the cardboard boxes and secure them with strong packaging tape. Ensure all the seams are correctly sealed to prevent the package from opening during transit. Next, label the box with the destination address, return address, and specific handling instructions. If applicable, mark the box as fragile.
Weigh/Measure:
To determine an accurate shipping cost, weigh and measure the package accurately. Your carrier and freight agent require this information.
Palletizing:
If you are shipping large quantities of garage tiles, it might be necessary to palletize them. To do this, place the boxes on a wooden pallet, secure them with stretch wrap or strapping, and label the pallet with shipping information.
Inspection:
Before your shipment is picked up, inspect it for proper sealing, labeling, and transport. This will make the hand-off process much easier for both parties.
