Shipping Large Seat BoxesUpdated a year ago

Purpose:

This guide is for employees handling shipments of large seat boxes (48x24x24). These steps ensure that seats are securely packed and protected during shipping.

Materials Needed:

• 48x24x24 box (or a similar size depending on the seat)
• Packing tape (strong adhesive)
• Older boxes or extra packing material for cushioning
• Scissors or box cutter
• Tape gun (for easier application)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the Box:

• Lay the 48x24x24 box flat.
• Ensure the flaps are properly aligned to create a solid base.

Tape the Bottom Seams:

• Outer Seam: Start by taping the outer seam of the bottom of the box.
• Inner Seam: Once the outer seam is secure, open the box and apply tape to the inner seam for added reinforcement. This helps prevent the box from splitting during handling.

Cushioning:

• Use other older boxes or additional packing materials to create cushioning around the seat.
• The goal is to fill any gaps to prevent the seat from shifting inside the box during transit.
• Place packing material at the top and bottom, as well as the sides, for full coverage.

Insert the Seat:

• Carefully place the seat into the box.
• Ensure that it is snug, and there is no unnecessary movement. Add more cushioning material as needed.

Seal the Box:

• Once the seat is securely packed, close the box's top flaps.
• Tape the outer top seam
• Using the tape gun tightly wrap the whole box for additional reinforcements

Final Check:

• Ensure all edges and seams are properly sealed.
• Gently tilt the box side to side to verify that the seat is well-cushioned and doesn’t move.

Important Notes:

• Always ensure the box is securely taped to avoid any potential damage during shipping.
• If any other packing materials are available, such as foam or bubble wrap, feel free to use them for extra protection.
• Ensure the box is labeled correctly and ready for pickup.
