UPS Guidelines

After years of testing and analysis, engineers at UPS recently established guidelines for the small parcel industry. This is critical considering the only guidelines for the past 90 years have been for freight shipments on a pallet. Box strength guidelines for the small parcel industry have never existed....until now!

The box here shows the guidelines that have been established. This shows box type, (board test) as well as the maximum weight recommended per box, (content weight).

Shipping a corrugated box can be somewhat tricky. Following what is recommended is the best start to making sure your contents are secured and covered in the event of a claim.
