Shipping Options
FCL (Full Container Load)
- Ideal for large quantities or high-value shipments.
- Provides exclusive use of a 20FT or 40FT container, ensuring better security and less risk of damage during transit.
LCL (Less-than-Container Load)
- Suitable for smaller shipments where you share container space with other cargo.
- Cost-effective for low-volume shipments but may require more handling, increasing the risk of minor damage.
Packaging for Dental X-Ray Machines
Proper packaging is essential to protect sensitive equipment like dental X-ray machines from damage during transport. Below are the best practices for packaging:
Primary Packaging
- Use the original manufacturer’s packaging if available.
- Wrap individual components in anti-static bubble wrap to prevent scratches and static electricity damage.
Secondary Packaging
- Place the wrapped components into a sturdy, high-quality corrugated cardboard box.
- Include foam inserts or padding materials to minimize movement during transit.
Crating
- For FCL and high-value LCL shipments, secure the boxes in a wooden crate made of treated wood compliant with ISPM 15 standards.
- Use custom-cut foam or shock-absorbing materials inside the crate to protect against vibration.
Sealing and Labeling
- Use water-resistant tape to seal the boxes and crates.
- Clearly label each package with handling instructions (e.g., “Fragile,” “This Side Up”) and consignee information.
