Packaging Guidelines

Proper packaging is crucial to protect ultrasonic dental scalers from damage during transit. Follow these best practices:

  1. Primary Packaging:

    • Use sturdy, sealed boxes or cartons that fit the dental scalers snugly.
    • Include protective materials such as foam inserts or bubble wrap to prevent movement and absorb shocks.
  2. Secondary Packaging:

    • Place primary packages into larger cartons for additional protection.
    • Use dividers if multiple units are packed together to avoid direct contact.
  3. Palletization:

    • Stack the cartons on wooden or plastic pallets.
    • Secure the cartons with stretch wrap and strapping to prevent shifting during handling and shipping.
  4. Labeling:

    • Clearly label each carton with details such as “FRAGILE” or “HANDLE WITH CARE.”
    • Include shipping information and any required compliance markings.
  5. Waterproofing:

    • Cover pallets with waterproof plastic sheeting to safeguard against moisture or water damage during transit.
