- Physical characteristics - Destination - Mode of transportation - Susceptibility to damage - Environmental protection requirements

Page 1 Preservation Packaging
Products can be exposed to a number of potentially harmful environmental elements both while in transit and upon arrival in the destination country. A variety of methods can be implemented for the additional preservation of your equipment. Moisture vapor-proof packaging utilizes a sealed vapor proof foil/film bag to enclose the product. A calculated amount of desiccant is added and a vacuum drawn on the bag minimize air that must be controlled. VCI polyethylene provideds moisture protection with the added benefit of being impregnated with vapor corrosion inhibiting chemicals. VCI chemicals have a property to evaporate into the surrounding area and form an ionic layer on the packaged equipment for corrosion protection. This can be draped over the product or for better protection used in shrink-film form around the entire product. Additional preservation methods we use include:- Vapor corrosion inhibiting sprays and emitters- Water barrier paper lined boxes - Heavy weight shrink wrap- Polyethylene draping- Tarping

Page 1 Containerization
All cargo is securely blocked and braced to insure immobilization of the product. Load plans are developed to maximize cube utilization and evenly distribute weight within container limitations. Out of gauge cargo, whether it is boxed or requires custom designed cradling, can be loaded onto flat rack containers. Blocking and bracing combined with lashings ensures maximum immobility of the product during shipping. Maryland Overpak provides stripping of import containers and flat racks. We can also arrange for the inland transportation of your equipment.
