BOX LINED WITH 2" STYROFOAM

The box is lined with 1-2" styrofoam depending on the size of the machine. This helps prevent punctures to the box from reaching the machine. I also adds additional padding to the machine and case.

For additional safety, Any voids in the packing are filled with styrofoam peanuts. A final layer of styrofoam is placed ontop to protect the machine.
All 4 sides are marked with an arrow pointing upwards and UP underneath.  All 4 sides and top are marked with FRAGILE.  Address labels are printed and completely covered with clear tape to prevent water damage and running of the ink if the package is allowed to get wet during shipment.
