HANDLE WITH CARE?

In today's world, expectations and job duties have increased, while the time allotted to complete those tasks has declined. The visible print "Handle with Care" or "Fragile" stickers are sometimes not enough to assure your products arrive intact. This is why we strongly urge our customers to use insulated packaging, not only for insulation purposes, but also for protection. When you use EPS foam containers, you are adding to the strength of your package and using a product that has been tested for these types of situations.


The videos recently posted on CNN show carriers mishandling customer shipments, but it alludes to a bigger question. Can your packaging withstand this type of care?
