How should a packaging machine be secured before international shipment?

• Bolt machine feet through the crate base with M20+ bolts, not just timber blocking.
• Lock moving parts like heat-seal jaw and cross-seal shaft with nylon ties or brackets.
• Remove servo drives and PLC modules, pack in ESD bags to prevent slot loosening.
• Wrap machine in VCI film with desiccant; line crate with waterproof membrane for sea humidity.
• Mark center of gravity, lifting points, tilt indicators; comply with ISPM 15 heat treatment.
