These two used electronics cabinets were purchased by a manufacturer overseas who wanted to ensure their purchases were protected during ocean transport.
After discussing the difference between VCI wrap protections and Moisture Barrier Bagging the customer chose to pay the extra charges for the custom barrier bags with desiccant and heat sealing.
The electronics in the cabinets were packaged to allow minimum movement, once this took place the bottom piece of our MIL-PRF-131K was placed down and the machine sat on top.
The custom bag was made with exact DIMs of 62X68X89 and this was placed over the first cabinet and the desiccant bags were than added into the bag. The Gateway associate then uses an industrial heat sealing tool to seal the bag together (First pic right). Another vacuum tool is then used to suck the air out of the bag before sealing in total.
Blocking and bracing wood is then added to the crate to lock in the bagged equipment. For large, heavy equipment like this it is important to add protection in the crate to prevent the item from moving in the crate.
The first of two crates was then weighed and ready to ship.
