PACKAGE ACCEPTANCE POLICY


1. EXTERIOR PACKAGING


(1.1) Defect-Free Carton-A defect-free carton maintains the original rigidity of its corrugated sidewalls. The carton�s corner seals and flaps must remain intact. Carton defects include punctures, tears, rips or corner damage, each of which reduces the carton�s structural integrity.
(1.2) Defect-Free Carton Closure-Masking or cellophane tapes will not supply the strength necessary to secure packages traveling through CE Beaufort�s distribution system. The minimum acceptable tape is two inches wide for pressure-sensitive plastic tape, and three inches wide for water-activated or reinforced paper tape. String or rope is prohibited, as is the use of gift wrap on the exterior of any package.
(1.3) Strength of Carton-The strength of the corrugated carton is a critical factor in a package�s ability to withstand the normal shipping trauma of handling and transportation. The carton�s class stamp, printed on the bottom of the carton, designates the maximum allowable content weight and is shown as the last number at the bottom of the stamp. Cans and pails: Lid clips must be used on all sizes of paint cans. Locking lids must be used on all sizes of pails.


2. INTERIOR PACKAGING

The contents of a package must be held firmly in place by the interior (internal) packaging system.

(3.2) GROUND Maximum Length - 120 inches (3.0 metres)

(5.3) All previous delivery address labels and markings must be covered or removed.
(5.4) A shipment consisting of more than one package or piece must have each package or piece individually numbered. If a shipment consists of three packages, for example, the packages would be marked as being 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3.
