PACKAGING Preservation/Packing: Each tool kit shall be packed in a close fitting fiberboard box that will offer protection during shipping, handling, storage and redistribution. If the tool kits are to be packaged in multiple shipping containers, each kit is to be packed as stated above and the quantity of kits packaged per shipping container, as well as the size of shipping container, shall be uniform throughout the contract period. The shipping container shall be in compliance with the National Motor Freight Classification and the Uniform Freight Classification. Prohibition on Plastic Packaging and Packing: The use of plastic in packaging and/or packing is prohibited. The definition of plastic shall be as defined in ASTM D883-93. MARKING All deliveries/shipments made under a contract for the NSN'S identified in the item listing are required to have bar code marking on the unit, intermediate, exterior shipping containers, and palletized or unitized loads pursuant to Federal Standard Number 123 for deliveries to civilian activities, or Military Standard Number 129 for deliveries to military activities, as applicable. PALLETIZATION The packaged and packed items shall be loaded on a pallet conforming to the requirements of paragraph 1 and secured to the pallet by one of the methods specified in paragraph 2. The palletized load size and stacking strength shall conform to the requirements of paragraph 3. Definitions shall be those delineated in ASTM D 996, Standard Terminology of Packaging and Distribution Environments under "Load for palletized load and palletized unit load". 1. PALLET TYPE AND STRENGTH. The pallet shall conform to Federal Specification PPP-P-1660, type I, II, or III, style 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, class B or C, grade 2, size 40 x 48, 42 x 42, 45 x 45, 45 x 53, 48 x 48, or 45 x 62-1/2. An equivalent commercial pallet may be used when it has been designed for a load equal to or greater than the load placed on the pallet. In case of dispute or challenge concerning pallet strength, the PPP-P-1660 tests shall be used to resolve the issue. When tested in accordance with elements C and D of ASTM D 4169, the stacking strength shall accommodate loaded pallet stacking (see paragraph 2 and 3). 1.1 Unless otherwise specified, wood used in the construction of the pallet and load reinforcement (e.g., bracing, blocking, caps) shall be new. Wood shall be free of bark (wane) or round wood, free of Oak Wilt Disease (OWD), and certified to be free of OWD. If wood preservatives are used, they shall meet the Code of Federal Regulation (40 CFR CH.1 Part 162) requirements that are applicable to wood preservatives. 2. SECURING LOADS TO THE PALLET. The load shall be secured to the pallet as specified in paragraphs 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3. The stacking patterns (e.g., column, pinwheel, chimney, filler, notched spacer, etc.) used to place the containers on the pallet shall be designed to permit the load to meet the pallet size and stacking strength required for stacking the loaded pallets five (5) high. If reinforcement (e.g., caps, blocking, bracing) is required, then reinforcement materials (e.g., angle board, wood, foam blocks) shall be used for reinforcing the pallet loads. 2.1 STRAPPING. The load shall be secured to the pallet by either flat steel or plastic (nonmetallic) strapping conforming to ASTM D 3953 or ASTM D 3950. The strapping shall be applied in accordance with ASTM D 4675 and shall be located as shown in Figure 2 (c) and (d) of ASTM D 4675. The number of straps shall be increased (e.g., adding horizontal straps around tiers) as necessary to form a safe and stable load. 2.1.1 When steel strapping is used; metal, plastic or fiberboard edge protectors shall be placed under each strap that crosses an edge. Cross ties of the appropriate size shall be applied to each right angle junction of straps in the same plane. The straps shall be spaced as follows: (a) The side straps that encircle the top, bottom and side of the load shall be centered on the corner column of the container; (b) The end strap that encircles the top, bottom, and end shall be centered on the center column of shipping containers, or on one side of the center stringer (stringer pallets) or center row of blocks of a block post pallet. 2.2 SHRINK WRAPPING. The load shall be secured to the pallet by commercial, non-food grade, thermoplastic, shrink wrap film. The shrink wrap film shall have strength characteristics equal to or greater than 5 mil (0.005 inches) polyethylene film, 4 mil (0.004 inch) nylon reinforced polyethylene film, or 2.5 mil (0.0025 inch) polyvinyl chloride film. Shrinking of the film shall ensure common carrier acceptance and safe and undamaged arrival of the items at their destination. When non-transparent film is used, two shipping labels in accordance with Federal Standard 123 shall be placed on the external film surface on adjacent sides of the pallet load. 2.3 STRETCH WRAPPING. The load without edge protectors and straps shall be secured to the pallet by Type 1 (Stretch), Grade 1 (nonweatherable), Class A (Non-food), film in accordance with ASTM D 4649. The stretch wrap material shall overlap the pallet by a minimum of 2 inches. The wrap cycle shall give a tensile strength and tearing resistance equal to or greater than 5 mil (0.005 inch) polyethylene shrink film. The requirements for marking non- transparent film shall be the same as paragraph 2.2. 3. PALLET LOAD SIZE AND STACKING STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS. The load plus the pallet shall have a maximum height of 44 inches. When the material cannot be loaded to the 44 inch limit due to the item size, a 53 inch maximum height is allowable for shape, and/or weight, or vehicle loading condition (vehicle over 88 inches height inside); a height of up to 53 inches for conveyables or 63 inches for nonconveyables will be accepted. Unless otherwise specified, the length and width of the load on the pallet shall not exceed plus 1 inch (length) or plus 1-1/2 inches (width), including all aspects of malformed loads (e.g., overhang, bulge, vertical and horizontal misalignment). 3.1 The containers or items shall be uniformly arranged in a suitable pattern to form a stable and balanced load. Vertical reinforcement shall be added, as necessary, to produce the strength needed to allow the loaded pallets to be safely stacked five (5) high or 20 feet, whichever is the lesser height. 3.2 The balanced and uniform load palletization of the same Stock Number (NSN) or item name (when no NSN has been assigned) shall be continued through the entire contract period. When small quantities or uneven (as related to pallet load) quantities are shipped, less than one half (1/2) of a pallet load is not required to be palletized. The gross weight of the palletized load including the load, pallet, bonding methods, storage aids, bracing, reinforcements, etc., shall not exceed 2500 pounds.
