Packing may sound like a boring topic, but when you pack correctly, you can have your items arrive in perfect condition.
Even thin signs that can easily dent or fold can be packed properly.
We are blogging about the correct way to pack an aluminum sign. If you follow our instructions you sign will arrive in pristine condition and you will be a happy sign owner.
Aluminum sign packing requires special attention. Due to the tendency for aluminum to dent or fold we have a few packing steps to recommend.
First, for the signs smaller than 24 inch x 24 inch x 1 inch.
In order to protect the sign during shipping, place a double wall cardboard over the front and back of the sign.
Then, place plywood that is 3/16 inches thick on the top of the cardboard. Use 3 inch packing tape to completely wrap the outside to the plywood. Make sure that all of the outer sides of the plywood is completely covered by your packing tape.
For aluminum signs larger than 24 inch x 24 inch x 1 inch, you may need to build a crate.
The wood for the crate should be 3/16 inches thick. Line the sides of the crate with one inch of Styrofoam and double wall cardboard on the top and bottom. You also need to protect the corners of the sign with Styrofoam padding.
