VALDERS PACKAGING
Our products are hand-packed on 1-1/2 or 2 ton pallets using styrofoam spacers to ensure that your stone will not be damaged during shipping. After the stone is packaged on the pallet, it is stretch-wrapped and banded with edge clips for extra protection. If the stone will not fit our standard pallet size of 42” x 48”, we can provide alternative packaging suggestions and solutions. Depending on the size, we may need to build a crate around the product for LTL shipping. A crate is built with 1/4″ plywood and typically 2″ x 4″ lumber. If a crate or pallet is not suitable for the size of the product, the stone will be placed on an A-frame.  Upright A-frames are commonly used for transporting thin slab material. The frame work is constructed with 2″ x 4″ lumber, and the material is banded to the frame. Since packaging affects pricing and shipping costs, special packaging requirements need to be specified prior to the pricing/bidding of the project. Each individual piece of stone will have a stone mark that you can reference to your shop tickets. These will also appear on the Bill of Lading you will receive at the time of delivery.
