Wrapping up convenience, protection and profit all in one unit.

f n the lumber markets of today a I vitally significant contribution to profit can be made through inventory control and protection of valuable inventory investment from mill to retail yard or the ultimate job site. Sim-Pak unit packaging on redwood lumber has been developed by Simpson in response to these needs.

Convenience

Sim-Pak units are designed in size, shape, and weight to accommodate forklift handling in single or multi-unit combinations. Both loading and unloading of trucks and rail cars are easier and faster with compact, high integrity units assembled with precision pressure strapping equipment at the mill. Mixed units of Architectural Finish grades and p?tterns are readily combined in the sdme shipment.

Protection

Smaller, lighter, protectively wrapped units, each containing '1,200 or 2,400 b.f. of Architectural Finish grades in random lengths are easy to handle, reducing damage in yard handling and transit. All units are totally wrapped in a combination of heavy duty cardboard and durable 6 mil poly coated paper. Designed to facilitate unit selling, the packaging provides improved protection from mill to market.

And since time is money, the savings in time in loading, unloading, handling and re-tallying plus the savings in actual shipping time all contribute very directly to your profits.
