Not every item is a size and shape that makes them fit easily into a box. These difficult, over-sized items are just as easy to damage during shipping as their easy-to-package counterparts. This means it is necessary to create a shipping container for them, a task that is not always as easy as it may seem.
Crating in Austin involves having materials that are durable enough to withstand the journey they will be taking. They will need to be large enough to enclose the item, but leave enough room for packing materials are able to be included. If the item is too large to be protected by bubble wrap or shrink wrap, it should at least be able to be secured inside its packaging.
Once you have the packing material and exterior wrap, are you certain it will be able to be transported safely? Are the wrapping products and other materials you have secured around the item all legal and meet with the standards of the shipping company you are using? Is the item packaged in a way that will allow people to move it safely?
What about labeling? Your package needs to be labeled according to the care it needs. If the items are fragile, a specific side needs to face up or if the package needs to be protected from heat, cold or moisture. There also needs to be a way to clearly label where it has come from and where it is headed.
This is a lot to think about and not just anyone is capable of handling the task. You would not be spending the time and money to ship something if it did not have value, so make sure you take the time to protect it correctly.
