With KIM, your shipment is packed with high-quality packing materials – from high-quality cardboard & corrugated board to newsprint to foam to high-grade packing tape to desiccants, we have thought of it all. We ensure all empty spaces are filled with padding or support to keep your valuables firmly in place and limit movement during the shipping process.

With all your items packed securely into their boxes, it’s time to think about fragility. Fragile items are treated with special care throughout the shipping process to avoid damage. We add additional padding to help protect your belongings from bumps and jostling that are common to the shipping process. Also, for final layer protection, we prominently label any sensitive packages as fragile. This will alert everyone who comes into contact with the boxes that they should be handled with caution.

One of the biggest fears when storing multiple boxes is having your packages become separated, which increases the risk that some of them may be lost. To make sure that your packages stay together throughout the storage process, we consolidate them by placing your shipment on pallets and held securely with bands, shrink-wrap, or stretch wrap. Not only does this add additional protection, but it also helps keep things orderly for subsequent loading into a container or delivery/unpacking.
