Journey of a Package

Ever wonder what happens to a package after you place an order? From the warehouse to your front door, every package goes through a series of steps designed to keep products moving safely and efficiently.

In “The Journey of a Package,” follow a package through the warehouse as it is picked, transported, packed, labeled, and prepared for shipment.

From Warehouse Shelf to Shipping Dock

The journey begins with order fulfillment. Warehouse employees locate the products needed for an order and use equipment such as picking carts, shelving, conveyors, and material handling equipment to move products throughout the facility.

Once the items are collected, they move to the packing area, where products are packaged and prepared for transportation. Proper packaging and strapping help protect items during handling and transit.

After the package is labeled, it makes its way to the shipping dock, where it is loaded onto a truck and begins the next stage of its journey.

Common equipment used throughout the process includes:

• Storage shelving and racks

• Hand trucks

• Conveyors

• Packing equipment

• Strapping machines

• Pallet trucks
