Wide Format PAckaging

Looking for a site or link which provides helpful hints for packaging odd shaped large sheet type products typically produced in a Wide Format Shop. We are experiencing damage claims on items shipped via UPS & Fed Ex as well as a few LTL.

Try ordering a few pieces from signage print factories and see how they do it. I have successfully used plywood to protect large sheet goods. Another thought is using pallet corner protectors to reinforce cardboard boxes. What sizes are you shipping?

In this particular case were shipping 3' x 6' foam core signage.

we use a variety of this type of packing. every job needs something unique it seems.
real bulky items go on a skid or in a crate and ship freight just to give them a chance of arriving unscathed.
