Packaging and Shipping IPL Hair Removal Devices Without Damage or Delay
An IPL device carries a lamp, a capacitor bank and a lithium battery, and each one imposes its own requirements on packaging and paperwork. What to specify before the carton is printed.
Shipping an IPL device means shipping three fragile systems at once: a glass lamp, a capacitor bank that dislikes vibration, and a lithium battery with its own transport rules. The packaging has to satisfy all three and the paperwork has to satisfy the carrier.
Mechanically, the lamp and the window need a fixed relationship to the housing that survives a drop. Internal play is the most common cause of units arriving with a cracked window. Specify retention that contacts the body rather than the decorative shell, and require the drop test to be run on the packed master carton.
For the battery, UN38.3 test summaries, an MSDS and a dangerous goods declaration travel with the shipment, and the carton markings must match the declaration exactly. Where the battery is contained in equipment the lighter regime applies; where spare batteries are included in the box the classification changes, and so does the freight cost.
Sea freight adds moisture to the list. A desiccant sachet in the inner box and a carton that is not sealed against outside air prevent the condensation that shows up as corrosion on charging contacts weeks after arrival, by which point the cause is impossible to trace.
Aolemon packs IPL devices with body-contacting retention, supplies the drop test report on the packed master carton, and issues battery transport documents with every booking so that no consignment sits waiting on paperwork.
