When you order 100 trash cans from our factory, we understand that damage during transit is your top concern. Here’s exactly how we pack and ship them to ensure each unit arrives in perfect condition.
First, all trash cans are individually wrapped. We use a combination of polyethylene foam sheets and corrugated cardboard to cover every exposed surface. This absorbs shock and prevents scratches or dents. For heavy-duty or large-capacity cans (like 55-gallon models), we add extra edge protectors made of recycled plastic to reinforce the rim and base.
Next, the wrapped cans are packed into custom-sized, double-wall corrugated boxes. Each box is lined with a 2-inch layer of bubble wrap at the bottom and top, and foam inserts fill any gaps between the cans. If the cans have lids, they are separated from the body and placed in a compartment within the same box to prevent lid-crunching.
Then, we load the boxes onto 48x40-inch GMA-grade pallets. Each pallet is stacked in a brick-like pattern—alternating layers to distribute weight evenly—and never exceeds 4 feet in height to maintain stability. The maximum stack per pallet is 20 boxes (5 layers × 4 boxes per layer), meaning 100 cans require exactly 5 pallets.
To secure the load, we apply three horizontal polypropylene strapping bands around each pallet and one vertical band across the top. We also wrap the entire pallet with stretch film—two full rotations at the base, middle, and top—to seal out moisture and vibration.
Finally, each pallet is labeled with “Fragile,” “This Side Up,” and “Do Not Stack” stickers. For international shipments, we add desiccant silica gel packs inside the boxes to control humidity. We also provide pre-shipment photos to you for quality confirmation.
From start to finish, our 30-step packing protocol follows ASTM D4169-16 shipping container testing standards. If any damage does occur—which is less than 0.5% per our internal data—we replace damaged units at no cost. Your 100 cans will be delivered as if they never left the factory floor.
