Recommended Packaging Options

This brochure will help you pack and prepare your Laser unit or Laser head shipments. Follow the instructions for the packaging method of your choice.

• Shipping with original manufacturer’s packaging.

• Shipping without original manufacturer’s packaging.

Shipping With Original Manufacturer’s Packaging
Original packaging is usually designed to ship the product once, not multiple times. Reuse can weaken the packaging and place the inside product at risk. Over boxing provides extra integrity for the weakened original manufacturer’s packaging.

Using Original Packaging and an Outer Box

Inspect the original packaging to ensure that the cushioning material and box are intact and unbroken. Make any repairs with pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic tape that is at least 2" wide. Pack the product using all the original packaging components.

Obtain a box that is at least 6" larger in length, width and height than the original manufacturer’s packaging. Fill the bottom of the box with 3" of packing material (e.g., air-cellular cushioning material such as Bubble Wrap® or loose fill peanuts). Do not use crushed paper.Center the original manufacturer’s packaging inside the outer box and fill empty spaces on all sides and the
top with packing material. The inner box should be surrounded with at least 3" of packing material around all six sides of the inner box. Apply at least three strips of pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic tape that is at least 2" wide to both the top and bottom of the carton to protect the package and its contents. Tape all seams or flaps.

Shipping Without Original Manufacturer’s Packaging

We recommend three methods for shipping your Laser head and Laser unit if you don’t have, or prefer not to use, the original manufacturer’s packaging.

Using Air-Cellular Cushioning Material Wrap the Laser head and Laser unit on all sides with at least 3" to 4" of air-cellular cushioning material. Place the wrapped item inside a sturdy outer box. Accessories
that are wrapped in appropriate amounts of cushioning can also be placed in any open spaces of the box. Fill all spaces with additional cushioning so that the wrapped item fits tightly inside the box. If no open spaces exist, pack accessories in an additional box. Close and seal both the top and bottom of the box with three strips of pressure-sensitive plastic tape that is at least 2" wide. Tape all seams or flaps.

Do not forget to enclose the shipping form.
