Protection

• SECURITY
  First, unit loads reduce incidents of pilferage and theft because packages from an enclosed load are difficult to remove.Moreover, unit loads are much easier to track than individually packaged products, making the "disappearance" of goods more detectable.
• MINIMIZE WAREHOUSING DAMAGE
  Unitized loads moved by forklift or pallet jack, are less likely to suffer damage than loose boxes carried by hand. Moving a unitized load throughout a warehouse minimizes the risk of product damage, for instance, a small carton or box may receive impacts from 30" or higher when accidentally dropped by hand, a unitized load will seldom receive 12" in drop.
• MINIMIZE TRANSIT DAMAGE
  It is less likely in LTL shipments that dense, heavy items will be parked on top of palletized unit loads. Hence, your goods stand a greater chance of not being damaged. The same cannot be said of cartons shipped individually.
