Guides
Which packaging suits IT hardware?
The right packaging depends on device type, quantity and route. New goods travel in original cartons, returns often in pallet cages, servers in their own cartons on pallets. An overview of the common options.
What matters
- Original carton
- The best protection for single devices – especially monitors and displays.
- Pallet cage
- Robust and reusable; with interlayers suitable for laptops and small devices.
- Pallet with layers
- For desktop PCs and cartons; layers and film hold the load together.
- Avoid mixing
- Do not put heavy and sensitive devices in the same load carrier.

Questions and answers: Packaging options for IT hardware
Is a pallet cage suitable for laptops?
Yes, with interlayers and no heavy devices on top. Thrown in loose, laptops damage each other.
How should monitors be packed without original cartons?
Upright, with edge protection and padding – or via project-based packaging, which we organise on request.
May I pack servers and monitors together?
Better not. Heavy and sensitive devices belong on separate load carriers.
