    About this Product

    Insurance books require specialized shipping and handling to prevent damage. Fragile documents must be packaged in acid-free materials, protected with sleeves, and padded with bubble wrap. Secure stacking up to 48 inches with adjustable shelving is critical, while transit conditions must remain dry and ventilated to avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Proper handling protocols ensure these sensitive records arrive intact, preserving their integrity for long-term storage.
