Pallet Protection – Keeping Your Goods Protected During Transit

Warehouses and heavy-goods transit vehicles can be dangerous places for pallet loads, so at Marpak we are committed to providing premium packaging solutions to protect your valuable goods from being damaged or tampered with during the journey to their destination.

So how do you go about protecting your pallets effectively?

Loading Your Pallets

Before you add your protection wrap to your goods, you need to load up your pallets properly. Firstly, it is important to ensure that the pallet itself is not already damaged. Then, when loading up the items, these should not exceed the dimensions of the pallet itself. Keeping the goods within or in line with the edges of the wooden pallet ensures that you can proceed to wrap the load to stabilise and secure it in transit. Overhanging boxes are always likely to get knocked in storage and in transit, so letting the edges of the pallet take the hits will keep your goods safe.
