The Problem

You bought quality containers. But they arrive bent, crushed, or with loose lids.

Not because they’re bad products. Because they weren’t stored or shipped correctly.

Here’s how to fix that – in 3 simple rules.


Rule 1: Stack Flat, Not High

Containers are strong when filled. But empty? They need care.

Do: Stack empty containers flat, no more than 3–4 feet high.
Don’t: Pile heavy boxes on top. Stack unevenly.

Why: Crushing happens when weight isn’t distributed. Keep stacks low and stable.


Rule 2: Use Pallet Wrap for Shipping

Loose boxes shift during transit. Shifting = damage.

Do: Shrink-wrap or strap pallets tightly. Place heavier boxes at the bottom.
Don’t: Leave gaps between boxes. Stack mixed sizes without support.

Why: Tight pallets survive bumps. Loose pallets arrive as a mess.


Rule 3: Store in Dry, Room-Temperature Area

Aluminum doesn’t rust, but extreme conditions weaken lids and affect seals.

Do: Keep in clean, dry area – 50–85°F (10–30°C).
Don’t: Store near wet floors, direct sunlight, or heat sources.

Why: Humidity and heat can warp thin materials or loosen lid fit over time.


Bonus: Label Your Boxes

Write “STACK FLAT – ALUMINUM CONTAINERS” on every carton.

Warehouse staff handle differently when they know what’s inside. Simple label = less damage.
