Wish an Expert Could Show up and Package Your Custom Goods for You?

As a manufacturer, your expertise lies in designing and building your products. You’re proud of your work, and you ensure each completed unit is flawless. Many of you, however, aren’t experts at how to best package and/or crate your products. This is especially true for manufacturers of custom large or delicate products.

Even with an understanding of what you need to ship this kind of cargo, other obstacles can make self-packaging a challenge. You need to store the goods along with any packaging equipment and materials in your facility. Most manufacturers don’t have the room to spare. Most also don’t have the labor to spare, either.

To make a difficult situation worse, if you’re shipping overseas, or your product is vulnerable to the elements, you have a host of other concerns. Are your goods made of metal or electrical components that could corrode in humidity? Does your wood packaging meet the most current ISPM 15 standards?

Careless or uninformed packaging can result in any number of extra costs:

• Wasted time and resources spent trying to create a packaging solution that isn’t efficient
• Replacing products damaged by
  • Insufficient padding
  • Moisture or other weather concerns
• Extra time and repackaging if container is rejected
• Labor to fix damage or build new product
• Loss of customer and reputation
• Failure to provide proof needed for insurance
• Wasted packaging materials
• Extra shipping costs if reshipping or replacing an order

If any of the above is a concern for you, know that you can use mobile crating services from professionals. Packnet specializes in large and delicate products that would require a fair amount of resources to crate and pack.
