Packaging tips

Keep in mind that any item over 35 kilograms (dead weight) must be placed in a skid or pallet. Health and safety requirements prevent freight drivers lifting anything above this weight. Multiple cartons that are being shipped by the same carrier should be put onto a pallet so they can be easily and quickly collected by the driver. If they're going to multiple destinations you’ll need to put “Breakdown at depot” on the label so the carrier knows.

The Perfect Carton

The perfect carton to ship depends on whose shipping it. When it comes to Startrack, the ideal carton  is up to 1.2 metres and weighs up to 20 kilograms. TNT and Toll also like cartons that are up to 1.2 metres but weight shifts to 30 kilograms. All providers prefer packages that don't contain liquids, fragile or loose items. If your package meets these specifications it will easily move through carrier automated sorting systems, and can be easily lifted and moved by drivers and freight handlers. Perfect cartons means cheaper freight for you.
