When it comes to transporting valuable goods, the difference between a successful delivery and a logistical nightmare often lies in the quality of the preparation. Packing Service Inc. (PSI) has spent over two decades perfecting the art of freight preparation, establishing itself as the nationwide leader in on-site professional palletizing and shrink-wrapping services. Since 2003, our commitment to reliability, efficiency, and total price transparency has earned us an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and a 97% customer satisfaction rate.
Why Professional Palletizing Matters
A pallet, often referred to as a “skid,” serves as the structural foundation for your cargo. It is designed to facilitate easy lifting by forklifts and pallet jacks, but its primary purpose is protection. Professional palletizing is the safest method for transporting bulky, heavy, or multi-piece shipments over long distances. At PSI, we don’t just stack boxes; we engineer a secure shipping unit designed to withstand the rigors of the logistics chain.
Our Proven 5-Step Palletizing System
To ensure maximum safety, our vetted experts—each with a minimum of one year of specialized experience—follow a rigorous methodology:
- Strategic Weight Distribution: We place the heaviest items at the base to maintain a low center of gravity, ensuring the stack remains stable and does not exceed the safe height of 5-6 feet.
- Industrial-Grade Strapping: Items are professionally secured to standard 40″x48″ or 40″x40″ pallets using high-tensile industrial strapping.
- Full-Base Shrink Wrapping: We wrap the entire base of the pallet to prevent any shifting during the vibration of transit.
- Environmental Protection: The top of the cargo is covered with industrial-grade wrap to shield it from dust, moisture, and debris.
- Multi-Layer Reinforcement: We apply two to four layers of high-grade shrink wrap for maximum structural integrity, creating a “non-stackable” load that reduces the risk of crushing.
