Step3 Close it securely. (cont.) Water-activated reinforced tape – Use 60-pound grade tape at least three inches wide. – Reinforced fibers in the tape provide additional strength, making it less susceptible to splitting or tearing. – Caution: Adhesion to the container may be affected by elements such as high humidity, wetness of tape, or dust. Do not use masking, cellophane, duct, or water-activated paper tapes; also, do not use string or paper over-wrap. Step4 Use proper labeling. For timely and accurate delivery, keep these points in mind when labeling your package: Always include the receiver’s ZIP Code ® with the complete address. For international shipments, include a contact name, telephone number, and postal code. Make every effort to obtain a street address. If you do use a P.O. box address, the recipient’s telephone number must be included on the label. A package addressed to a P.O. box may experience delays and will not be covered by any UPS Service Guarantee. An Address Correction charge also will apply. Army Post Office (APO) and Fleet Post Office (FPO) addresses are not accepted by UPS. Include the suite, apartment, or unit number, if applicable. Failure to do so may subject the shipper to an Address Correction charge. Place the shipping label on the top of the box. To avoid confusion, place only one address label on the box. If using a packing slip, place it on the same surface of the box as the address label. 6
Do not place the label on a seam, edge, closure, or on top of sealing tape. Remove or cross out old labels or markings. Always include your complete return address including full street address and ZIP Code. For international shipments, include a contact name, telephone number, and postal code. Place a duplicate label or other form of address information inside the package. NOTE: If using a mailing tube, place the label horizontally, with the sides of the label pointing toward the ends of the tube, so the bar code can be scanned. If labeling an irregularly shaped item, make sure the label is placed on a flat surface to allow for scanning. NOTE: The smart labels produced by UPS OnLine WorldShip, ® UPS Internet Shipping, UPS CampusShip Ț M and UPS OnLine ® Compatible Vendor shipping systems include bar codes and routing codes that help ensure accurate routing and prompt delivery of your shipments. In addition, the use of smart labels allows for fast access to tracking and delivery information. Guidelines for <strong>Package</strong>s Weighing More Than 70 Pounds Packaging materials need to be evaluated carefully for packages weighing more than 70 pounds. Boxes need to be of strong construction, preferably with seams that are stitched or stapled, not glued. Check the strength of the box by checking the Box Maker’s Certificate to make sure the size limit and gross weight limit are not exceeded. For recommendations on determining the proper size and maximum gross weight limit of a box for individual package shipments, refer to the UPS Box Strength Guidelines chart in Step 1 (page 2) of this brochure. Use new boxes whose strength has not been compromised by humidity or prior-use wear and tear. Seal with heavy-duty tape, preferably reinforced, by applying three strips to both the top and bottom of the box so the middle and two edge seams are sealed. 7
