Packing a Pallet in San Antonio for Shipping

by | Feb 23, 2017 | Moving Services

There are many risks involved in shipping out pallets of merchandise. Whether items are traveling by truck, sea, air, or rail, they will be subject to bumps, jerks, rough stops and starts, impacts, delays, and accidents. How a pallet in San Antonio is packed will determine the condition in which it arrives at the final destination. The cost of experienced packing is much less than the cost of lost merchandise, unsatisfied customers, and missing delivery deadlines. Items that are stable, stack easily, and not too heavy can usually be wrapped in plastic shrink wrap. That process is successful in keeping merchandise together, in place on the pallet, and protected from dust and moisture.

Not all merchandise is that easy to pack. Larger items, fragile items, and odd-shaped merchandise will require specialized packing. Bracing under the pallet may be needed to support extra weight. Cushioning or foam pieces can be placed between rows to keep items from wobbling in place or slipping off the pallet. Lips, ledges, and half walls can be custom built on the pallet in San Antonio to help steady and secure unique items.

If a pallet will not be enough protection for an item, a custom crate can be designed, built, and packed to get the item from point A to point B safely. Experienced carpenters, like those at Crate Master, for example, can customize a pallet, or build a crate to suit any need. Past items crated and shipped include sensitive medical equipment, military vehicles, large stuffed moose, jet planes, and carnival rides. Crates for personal shipping use have also been designed to securely ship family heirlooms, fragile tea sets, and trophies.

In addition to custom designs and specialized packaging, storage, shipping, and delivery services are also offered. Wooden furniture, boxes, keepsakes, and small offices and sheds are also available upon request. An engraved wooden bench for the garden, a swing for the front porch, or a tool cabinet that fits that narrow corner of the garage is not a problem. Provide measurements, present ideas of finished projects, or discuss what is desired or needed with staff to begin the process.
