By: Thomas E. Catanzaro, DVM, MHA, LFACHE
Based on organizational behavior studies of the American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand workforces, the concept of "causing change" is not comfortable for most people.

Shipping Tips
General Packing Methods
Follow these general guidelines for the two most popular packing methods, plus recommendations for odd or irregular-shaped shipments.
Single-Box Packing Method
- Ship fragile products inside a sturdy outer box.
- Wrap product(s) individually in a minimum 3" thickness of air-cellular cushioning (Bubble Wrap®) on all six sides (top, bottom, front, back and both ends) to fit inside a corrugated box.
- Use loose fill peanuts or air-cellular cushioning material to fill void spaces and prevent movement of goods inside the box during shipping.
- Place goods that might be affected by dirt, water or wet conditions inside a plastic bag.
- Consolidate small parts and accessories and package separately. Spillable or granular products should be placed in a strong sealed container, such as a burlap or sift proof plastic bag, then package in a sturdy outer box.
- Use the H taping method for sealing your package.
