What you should know about sending your boxes Overseas!!

Preparing boxes for packing and mailing overseas.

In today’s society, not everyone is a short drive to see family and friends. Some are lucky if they can even hop on a plane to visit. With careers taking people all over the globe, buying gifts online and having them shipped across seas is rapidly becoming the norm.
For example, it’s your friend’s wedding; however, due to budget and your work schedule, you can’t make the international flight. You search online and find the perfect gift. How are you going to get it to the happy couple?
Many of the very best wedding gifts are extremely fragile. Antiques are breakable by the nature of their age. Artwork, glassware and sculptures, require special handling to make the trip intact. Delicate gift items will bring smiles to the bride and groom, but only if they aren’t in pieces by the time they get there.
Ensure you choose the best shipping methods so your wedding gifts arrive safely. Large cardboard shipping boxes can be used for packing and shipping bigger items such as sculptures or artwork. Styrofoam corner protectors creates a cushion between the inner carton corner and outer carton. Smaller corrugated cardboard boxes can fit objects like heirloom jewelry, China, silverware and figurines.
Cushioned interiors, bubble wrap rolls, packing peanuts, and other specialized packing materials wrap your gift securely, protecting it against from all of the hazards of international shipping.
Working with a professional packaging company like Wrapnpack will guarantee that your gift arrives in plenty of time for the big day.

Be the Last to Go....How to Keep your job in a down economy!!!

In the economic chaos prevailing in the world, many employees will lose their jobs. Unfortunately, you could be one of them. Depending upon your industry, the strength of your company, your continued sales (or lack thereof), your employment role, and the decisions made by government officials, the threat of a layoff could be imminent.
Don’t bury your head in the sand and hope all of the potential threats to your job and career disappear. They won’t. These tips will help you keep your job.
Keep your ears tuned into your work grapevine;
Watch your company's sales and profitability;
Observe your industry trends and employment opportunities;
Keep a close eye on Washington or your country's government;
Listen skeptically to your employer when you see problems not articulated.More Thoughts About How to Keep Your JobNow is the time to take steps to keep your job. You can keep your job, even in a bad economy. But, start soon, not later, to take the steps necessary to keep your job.
Jay Himes, Executive Director of Student Services and Programming at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, suggests you need to take a good look at yourself and your contributions. "Employees' work and accomplishments speak for themselves. Look at your organization; ask yourself, 'If I wanted to start a company that does what my firm does and I could take X number of people from here, who would I take?'
”If you aren’t on the list, why not? There are two possible reasons.
"The company doesn’t need someone who does what you do. This is often the case for people who are far removed from the firm’s customers, or whose job is primarily rooted in the bureaucracy. If your job is about building speed bumps and not about enablement, this is a warning sign.
"You are not providing superior value. Is this a training or education issue? Is it commitment – does your work day have work or procrastination in it? Is the issue that you have relational trouble with your coworkers?"If you honestly evaluate yourself and move to correct the issues, there is still time. Your bosses and coworkers will notice improvement. If you wait until layoffs come it will be too late."
After you evaluate your contribution and prospects and assess the viability of your employer, you are ready to make decisions. In any case, if your current employer appears to be taking appropriate actions for these tough economic times, you will want to ensure that you keep your job – for as long as you want your job.
In a recent poll, readers weighed in on their current strategy for keeping their job.

Your hands deserve a break every once and a while!!

Take care of your hands from over typing and texting!!
here is a nice video and some helpful hints if your fingers are tired from too much walking!!



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d06XQKKWS0

Stop performing normal everyday activities with the injured hand - such as holding a cup, unscrewing a lid or ringing a doorbell - for at least a week to allow wrist and hand to rest. This will take pressure off the affected nerve.

2

Set up your work space with adjustable screens, keyboards and work surfaces to eliminate extra strain on the wrists and hands. Position your keyboard so that it is at elbow level. Your forearms, wrists and hands should be in a straight line parallel to the floor as you type.

3

Use a wrist pad with your keyboard. A wrist pad is a cushioned support that rests under your wrists, runs the length of your keyboard and takes the stress off your wrists by raising them to the level of the keyboard.

4

Go on a short break every hour, being sure to stretch and walk. This will help to relax the affected nerve in your hands as well as the rest of your body.

5

Wear a wrist splint at night for one to two weeks. Remember, the splint will provide the best support only when the wrist is straight.

6

Hang your hands over the side of the bed at night, or shake and dangle them as the pain occurs.

7

Massage your hands and wrists to relieve pressure.

8

Alternate heat and cold treatments to relieve pain and inflammation.

9

Take anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen daily for the pain and swelling.

	Construction Sus-Rap® has ingeniously designed fingers that gently but firmly suspend your product to cushion it from shocks and prevent breakage. Sus-Rap provides exceptional stacking strength forming a reinforced wall within the carton. Sus-Rap is manufactured from recycled and recyclable fiberboard.
	What can SUS-RAP® do for you?  •  Protects by suspending products inside of carton. •  Versatile, economical and easy to use. •  Conforms around the perimeter or irregular shapes. •  Designed for strength and stacking. •  Minimum packaging, maximum protection while    reducing costs. •  Poly lining is available for abrasion prone surfaces. •  Available in a variety of widths, lengths and slottings.       About Honeycomb Honeycomb is a rugged, cost-effective, custom-engineered kraft paper material that has proven ideal for many uses, including packaging, pallets, dunnage, furniture inner structures and signage displays. Honeycomb is made by joining individual bands of kraft paper together into a series of continuous hexagonal cells. In most cases, the cells are faced on both sides with similar materials to create what is, ounce for ounce, the strongest product known. Honeycomb works on the I-beam principle. The facing of the panel acts as the flange of the I-beam and the core as its web. The flange carries the tension and the compression across the surface of the panel. The web holds the flanges together in proper order.          Reverse Slit Score / Slit Score A reverse slit score is made by cutting through one facing paper and through the core material, and then by cutting the opposite facing paper at another location to create a fan folding effect in the panel. A single slit score is produced by cutting through one facing paper and the entire core, leaving the other facing paper intact to create a folding hinge in the panel.       Cookie-Cut A cookie-cut is made by creating a slit in both of the facing papers and a portion of the core, leaving the panel held together by the uncut center core. Runners and small inner pieces can be created this way, making them easier to handle and allowing them to be separated easily by gently pulling each piece apart as needed.      Die-Cut A die-cut is made by producing panels with holes that are cut completely through in practically any shape or thickness. Die-cut panels can be either glued to a flat panel to create a tray for bulk packing or used to surround an item for inner packing.     PSA - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive A high tack adhesive is applied to one side of a honeycomb panel and covered with a release paper. The paper is removed by the end-user, who can then apply to a surface. The panel is typically used as a block support in pallets or inner packaging.
