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.
