Shipping Services

Shipping: We are second to none when it comes to packaging! It starts with tried and true techniques of stacking that our long-time employees have often times created. Over time these have become solid documented do's and don'ts of Cast Stone packaging. When the stone is palletized the stone has already been protected with 3/4 " sheets of foam in between each stone to cushion stress points. Each pallet is stacked in a manner to ensure weight balance and support normal impacts through shipping transit. Layers of stretch wrap are applied until the stone is not visible, then rolls of hay are placed on the corners and stress points before the pallet is sent to the scanning station.

Carriers: We take special care for Common Carrier shipments. For Common carrier shipments the material has to have added protection because it is being moved from terminal to terminal. The palletized material is covered with blue thermal protective paper that protects the plastic wrapping from the heat of the expanding thermal foam that is sprayed into each crate. After the sides are enclosed we put remnants of hay and scraps of foam to use as filler around the inside edges of the crate. The filler gives the expanding foam something to adhere to and saves on how many chemicals are used.

Our Goal: Get the stone to the customer as safely as possible!
