subject: Wicker Baskets Packing And Shipping Guidelines | Wickerchina [print this page] wicker baskets are available in a variety of usages of styles, such as gift baskets, packaging baskets, or bread baskets. No matter how you will use the wicker baskets, you always need to know how to pack and ship wicker baskets. Because there is always ont time that you need to do this.
Firstly, please be sure that the boxes and wrapping materials are clean and far away from rodents and insects. It is the best and safest way to use double boxing to pack a wicker basket. The wicker basket must be completely dry. If stained, the stain must be dry and fume free.
To avoid being lost during shipping, you should always write the name, address and phone number of the basketmaker or owner on the note which will be put on the wicker baskets. The recipient on a 3 x 5 card can be placed inside the basket and another card at the top of the packing materials before sealing each box.
Type address information on a packing label or print the information legibly in block letters, and attach to top of box. It is a good idea to pack wicker baskets in boxes within another box for best stability and protection. Begin by carefully wrapping the wicker basket in several layers of archival tissue paper and bubble wrap, placed inside a plastic bag.
Then you need to place the wrapped wicker basket in the center of a new cardboard shipping box, allowing at least four inches in every direction to place Styrofoam peanuts (prepacked in individual plastic bags), newspaper or other packing materials. Place this box in a second box that is at least four inches larger in each direction, and fill again with packing materials. To assure ease of shipping, make sure there are no other writings, advertising or bar codes on the box, other than your shipping label, and that it is legible.
Sometimes it is not very cheap to buy a high-quality wicker basket. We need to protect them well. Also sometimes we buy wicker baskets for environmental protection. So we need to make the most of every wicker basket we buy.
