Tubes

Heavy cylinders should be strapped to a pallet. Avoid overhang and make sure the pallet is stackable. Lighter tube-shaped items can be packed in a triangular shipping tube.

Sharp/protruding items

Sharp items must be wrapped in protective padding before being placed in a box. Never allow anything to protrude from a packed box as it risks damage when stacked. If necessary, use a larger box or consider using a pallet.

Labelling

Find a flat surface to affix your routing label and any special handling labels required. On materials like wood, rubber or fabric, use additional tape, staples or glue to secure your labels. 

Pro tip: Place a copy of the label inside the box.
