Media packaging
The best media can become unusable if not properly packed and shipped. Proper packaging
protects the media from moisture, contamination, and physical damage.
Media are normally shipped in cartons when a large quantity is ordered. The media mostly arrive
on wooden pallets. Cartons contain either reams or loose media sheets.
The packaging requirements for media packed in reams, cartons, and pallets are given below.
