How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Lancaster address, not at a depot. Materials are selected for the item and for the ferry or tunnel crossing ahead of it.
- Survey of the item before we quote so the packing spec is right first time
- Double-wall cartons, edge protection and corner boards for rigid goods
- Foam, bubble and blanket wrap chosen by material, not by habit
- Palletising and strapping where the load benefits from it
