How to Pack Engineering Goods – The Packaging Doctor

By Carl Board • Thursday 24th January 2019

When it comes to transporting engineering goods, the right packaging can make all the difference. Whether you're shipping across the country or internationally by lorry, ship, or plane, ensuring your products arrive undamaged is crucial. At Kite Packaging, we specialize in heavy-duty solutions that protect even the most sensitive and valuable items during transit. Let’s take a look at how our expert team can help with your packing needs.


Dear Doctor,

I run an engineering business and I've been dealing with a lot of damage during transit. Our goods are sent via lorry, ship, and even plane, so I need packaging that can withstand all types of transport. I'm looking for a reliable solution that offers consistent protection no matter the journey. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Paul


Hi Paul,

Thank you for reaching out – we’re happy to help. When it comes to engineering goods, standard packaging just won’t cut it. That’s why we recommend using our extra-heavy duty boxes as a first line of defense. These boxes are designed specifically for high-value, heavy equipment and have been tested to ensure they provide maximum strength and durability during transit.

We offer a wide range of sizes to suit different types of engineering equipment, so you can find the perfect fit for your needs. But strong boxes alone aren't always enough. For internal protection, we suggest adding shock-absorbing materials to prevent movement and impact damage.

In this case, we'd recommend our system shock absorbers. These foam-based inserts are designed to cushion your goods and provide a custom fit inside the box. They can be easily shaped to create corner, edge, and surface protection, making them ideal for irregularly shaped or delicate items.

What makes these shock absorbers stand out is their versatility. They’re resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and won’t scratch your products. Plus, they're fully recyclable and chemically neutral, making them both safe and environmentally friendly.

By combining our heavy-duty boxes with these internal protective layers, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of damage and improve your overall cost-efficiency. Your goods will arrive in the same condition they left your warehouse, giving you peace of mind and protecting your business reputation.

Best wishes,
The Packaging Doctor
