Insert a Solution for Shipping Wheels

Whether on motorbikes, cars or bikes, wheels make it easy for us to move around. The challenge comes when we need to move them around.

If you’re involved in the manufacture, import or refurbishment of wheels, or you’ve simply tried to sell a set of wheels on ebay, you’ll know that wheel packaging and delivery is a complicated procedure.

The round shape, which makes them so effective at rolling, makes them difficult to package. Even if they are placed into a closely fitting square box, with filling materials, their weight can cause them to move around. All in all, it is difficult to ensure that the wheel won’t get damaged in transit.

Even on the ‘how to ship wheels’ website, there is an extensive list of packaging items, accompanied by time consuming instructions. This simply isn’t a viable solution if you are going to send more than one set in a year. There had to be an easier way.

Protected in Transit

One of the main purposes of packaging is to ensure that the product inside is properly protected. For any irregular shaped items, the best way is to hold a product in place using specially designed inserts.

Aylesbury Box Company have designed and manufactured hundreds of different cardboard inserts to ensure products arrive in perfect condition.

When we were approached by Rally Raid to produce a packaging solution for their rally and adventure motorbikes, the same principles applied. We discovered everything we could about the product including dimensions, materials and weight and then began to design a viable means of packaging it.

We engineered robust cardboard inserts, specifically for the wheels and the size of the box and manufactured these in bulk for Rally Raid. It may sound costly to invest in purpose made boxes, but the packaging protects wheels during shipping, so they reach their customers in pristine condition.

In addition to reducing damage, returns and dissatisfied customers, there is no need for bulky filling materials and the time spent on packaging is reduced. All this makes our bespoke boxes and cardboard inserts a cost effective means of packing wheels.
