1

Prepare the foundation

We start with an 8 × 6 × 4-inch box lined with a thick piece of PE foam. A recessed area cradles the drive.

2

Bag and identify the drive

The drive is placed in an anti-static bag and given a label identifying the enclosed drive.

3

Fit the side blocks

Custom-fitted side blocks prevent the drive from sliding around during shipment.

4

Complete the protective shell

The final PE foam insert is placed over the drive, surrounding it with protective cushioning on every side before the box is sealed.

5

Label the box

A matching label is applied to the side of the box so its contents remain clearly identified.

6

Seal it for shipment

The box is carefully taped shut. The drive is now ready for shipment.
