Boxing Instructions
We have learned a lot from our first shipment. One of the most important lessons involved the boxing and labeling of donations. If not done properly, boxes split open when others boxes are placed on top. Also, unless properly labeled boxes must be opened and examined to determine content and/or grade level. Below are some boxing guidelines:
1. Boxes should not be too large. When full, large boxes are too heavy to lift. A good size for books is 12X12X15. Boxes of stuff animals, clothing or lighter materials can be a little larger.
2. Boxes must be completely filled. Each box should be like a brick.
If boxes are not filled to the top, they will split open in transit. Items such as tennis balls, stuffed animals and small children’s books should be used to fill voids.
3. All boxes should be labeled. If possible boxes should have uniform
items. If a box has T-shirts, write how many T-shirts. If a box has textbooks, the label should include subject, title, grade level and the number of books inside. If the box is for a sister school, your school’s name and the sister school’s name should be on the box.
4. Boxes should be taped closed. Try to use reliable tape since
unreliable tape tends to separate or stick to other boxes.
5. Boxing labels should be provided to your school by USACF
6. When lifting heavy boxes, please lift from the knees.
