Freight Packaging Guidelines

1. Shipping and Handling Conditions

When shipping freight, size, weight, climate and handling all matter because multiple vehicles often deliver goods to their final destination. EMU Express express freight and cargo services share unified packaging guidelines and requirements.

2. Stacking, Pallets and Crating

The orientation of cartons in palletized freight shipments can significantly impact shipment integrity. EMU Express recommends adhering to the following guidelines.

3. Cushioning, Blocking and Bracing

Shock and vibration forces are natural during transit; most products need some form of cushioning to protect them. Blocking and bracing are also important for large individual items that can't be boxed or crated.

4. Banding and Stretchwrapping

Typically, transit damage to palletized corrugated boxes occurs because the shipment was improperly stacked, bundled or secured. Load protection, stretchwrapping and banding play an important role.

5. Securing Unique Freight

Uniquely shaped items — tires, bags, drums, spools, engines, pipes and copiers — require special handling. EMU Express recommends appropriate securing methods.

6. Marking and Labeling

Handling labels and marking should be clearly visible and positioned on the sides preferred for forklift entry. Remove or mark out any old labels, tags and markings.

7. Size and Weight Limits

Size and weight limits for EMU Express services are listed below. Adhering to these limits is essential for timely and damage-free delivery.
