February 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #103: Heavy Mail

Tip of the Week


If you need to pack and ship heavy items on a regular basis, consider a bulk purchase of double-wall corrugated boxes where appropriate. These are much stronger than their single-wall counterparts. A single-wall box that can carry 20 pounds of material is outclassed by a double-wall box of the same size, which can handle a whopping 80 pounds in the same size box! Getting these extra-strength boxes insures greater protection to your mailings, and also increases your chances of a successful claim should your shipment be damaged in transit.
