Packing Boxes

Baraa Investment suggest that you pack your Household items like Clothes, Beddings, Dishes, Computers, Home Electronics, etc in Double Walled Boxes. The double walled boxes are stronger and are Heavy duty.

Packing

To maximize returns on your money. Do not ship half-filled boxes or leave empty spaces in the box. If shipping fragile things mark FRAGILE on the box. In shipping business, one box is frequently stacked upon another. Empty spaces in the box can sometimes allow the content to move freely causing damage to the items and package. You also run a risk of a heavier box crushing the half-filled box.

When shipping Fragile items or Breakables, always pack items tight to avoid shifting, and make sure you pad & cushion the items with clothes, bubble wraps and packing peanuts. Make sure all sides of the box are tightly taped. You can put tape all around the box but don't cover your name and address with the tape.

Dunnaging

Dunnaging of containers is the usage of timber pieces to separate cargo in a container. This eliminates that the cargo rubs against other pieces resulting in scratches e.g. steel pipes are separated from one another as you pack the container and then lashed into place. Should this not be done properly the painted steel will rub together and in turn rust. Books are heavy; Baraa investment suggests that you pack them in Book Boxes.

Furniture requires special handling and can only be shipped using specialized carrier service, which is somehow expensive. Unless you are shipping Furniture in your own Ocean container, we can only ship Furniture when it's packed in Wooden Crate or packed by professionals.

Crating

Medical Equipments, Large Photo Copiers, Printing Machines and Delicate Equipments need to be shipped in a wooden crate.

Labeling plays an important role in shipping and is part of the shipper's responsibility. Make sure you label boldly and clearly the sender names and the Consignee's full address and phone number on the two opposite sides of the box.

Fumigation

There are many factors to consider when packaging and crating for international shipments. Many foreign countries require that all crates made out of wood being shipped to the U.S. A, Europe and other part of the world be fumigated to reduce the risk of pest infestation. These crates require an approved stamp known to certifying the crate meets international shipping standards.
