How to pack your dishes for shipping LTL

LTL shipping ( less then a truck load )is one way to ship . So lets start on the tips for packing dishes for shipping ltl at Box Brothers this would be on a pallet in most cases .So we start with a dish pack or a large carton, if its a dish pack you will only need one inch of foam . If you are using a large box then you need two inches of foam . Remember the dish box is a double wall box . A large box is single wall box and shorter then a dish pack. large box is approx 18x18x24 . tape the bottom of the box .
Cut the foam to fit in the box ,line the box with foam the bottom the sides and then the top . take the dishes and bubble wrap them in small bubble tape and stand them straight up like a egg in a egg carton .After you are through use paper to fill all the void area . they must not move once they are in the box. one inch foam for double wall box.and two inches for single wall box.Then mark your box fragile or put labels on them . You get all the supplies you will need at your nearest box brothers store . And we will also let you know how much the shipping will be ...This will not work for ups or fedex shipping .... tips tomorrow how to pack dishes for ups and fedex !!!!
