Shipping Tools

Preparation and Packing

Each of our Salt Products is individually pressure washed and thoroughly dried before packaging to insure nearly total removal of carvers dust and to prevent mildew and mold.

Each product is labeled with the Country of Origin in compliance with US Customs law. US Customs will verify compliance before you are able to ship even a single lamp from the container. Most exporters fail to label their products correctly.

Your products will then be individually shrink wrapped and then surrounded with bubble wrap to prevent damage in transit. Other companies will wrap lamps in thin brown paper and cram them into cartons to maximize the number of lamps in your shipment and also their profits. The damages you will experience due to moisture in the hold of the ship will ultimately reduce the salable lamps you receive, and, become a source of more pre-sale labor for your company.

At this point a set of options is available to you

Packing Options (Individual Lamps):

A) Shrink and Bubble wrapped products, marked with Country of Origin are packed
in bulk into master cartons.

B) Shrink and Bubble wrapped products are individually boxed in unprinted heavy duty 3-ply white cardboard boxes.

C) Shrink and Bubble wrapped products are individually packaged in Heavy Duty white cardboard printed with our recognizable and respected company name and logo. Each style of lamp will feature a full color picture of the enclosed lamp along with use and care instructions, “in use” pictures and other helpful information that will interest your customers. They are shelf ready with Bar Codes for an easy integration into retail store computer systems.

Container Loading Options (Complete Order):

A) Boxes are stacked in alternating directions in layers and then shrink wrapped together to prevent shifting while in transit. By tightly grouping boxes together you will have an easier time unloading the container.

B) If you choose to have the cartons palletized, they can be easily removed from the container with a forklift or pallet jack. NOTE: This palletization often requires the use of a 40’ Container that has a slightly higher shipping cost, (though not twice as expensive) than the 20’ non-palletized container.
