Crating We crate the rockers in the shop. We wrap the rocking chairs in bubble wrap and put them in two heavy cardboard boxes, one telescoped over the other. Dense foam blocks glued to the inner box at the contact points protect those points and make a snug fit. We build a wood pallet and frame to surround the boxes. Our crates will protect the chair from most rough handling and negligence.
We place labels on the outside of the crate. A pair of prominent labels identify the contents as hand made furniture. There is a label explaining how to open the crate. And one to remind you to inspect for damage and telling you what to do if you find it. The cost of crating is included in the price given for any shipment requiring a crate. |
