Special Packaging Needs<br />
If you ship the following items, consider their special packaging needs.<br />
Irregularly Shaped Items <strong>and</strong> Bare Metals<br />
Tape the address label on a flat surface of the item being shipped. Cover the label<br />
with clear tape. Do not use “flying tags” attached by string or metal. Blunt all<br />
sharp or protruding edges with taped-on, corrugated cardboard pieces. Protect the<br />
surface of the item as needed. An Additional H<strong>and</strong>ling charge will apply. See page<br />
125 for details.<br />
Fabric <strong>and</strong> Wallpaper<br />
Rolled goods travel best when shipped in corrugated boxes. If a fabric or wallpaper<br />
roll is shipped in a bag, it is recommended to use a bag with a minimum thickness<br />
of six mils. Make sure the bag is tightly wrapped <strong>and</strong> taped against the roll to<br />
reduce the risk of tearing. A tail on an item shipped in a bag must be compressed<br />
to the body of the item using tape. Place the address label on a flat surface of the<br />
item being shipped. Place duplicate address labels inside cores or between top<br />
layers of material. An Additional H<strong>and</strong>ling charge may apply. See page 125 for details.<br />
Tires<br />
Apply a wide b<strong>and</strong> of pressure-sensitive tape through the center <strong>and</strong> completely<br />
around the body of the tire so that the tape is attached to itself. Attach your address<br />
label to the tape b<strong>and</strong> where it covers the tread. Cover the entire label with clear<br />
tape. An Additional H<strong>and</strong>ling charge will apply. See page 125 for details.<br />
Hazardous Materials<br />
Please see pages 127 to 128 for service restrictions related to shipping Hazardous<br />
Materials <strong>and</strong> International Dangerous Goods. For additional information, refer to<br />
the <strong>UPS</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> for Shipping Ground <strong>and</strong> Air Hazardous Materials at <strong>UPS</strong>.com ® .<br />
Bundled or Strapped Boxes<br />
Only same-sized boxes may be strapped together. Use a minimum of four crisscrossed<br />
b<strong>and</strong>s, two in each direction. An address label must be placed on each<br />
box. When strapping boxes together, each box must be strong enough to hold<br />
the total weight of the strapped bundle. For example, if two 15-pound boxes are<br />
b<strong>and</strong>ed together into a 30-pound package, both components should be in boxes<br />
with at least a 30-pound weight capacity. An Additional H<strong>and</strong>ling charge may<br />
apply. See page 125 for details.<br />
Packages Weighing More Than 70 Pounds<br />
Packaging materials need to be evaluated carefully for packages weighing more<br />
than 70 pounds.<br />
– Boxes need to be of strong construction, preferably with seams that are stitched<br />
or stapled, not glued. Identify the strength of the box by checking the Box Maker’s<br />
Certificate to make sure the size limit <strong>and</strong> gross weight limit are not exceeded.<br />
For recommendations on determining the proper size <strong>and</strong> maximum gross weight<br />
limit of a box for individual package shipments, refer to the <strong>UPS</strong> Box Strength<br />
<strong>Guide</strong>lines chart on page 3.<br />
