<br />EXHIBIT C <br />How to Palletize your Books <br /> <br />pal.let'ize (pa-I&-"t1z)transitive verb: to place on, transport, or store by means of pallets (SOURCE: <br />"Palletize." Def. 1. Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary. 2004. <http://www.merriam- <br />webster. com/cg ibin/ dictionary?book=Dictionary& va=palletize>. <br /> <br />Here are some tips to building a sturdy, road-worthy pallet: <br /> <br />The first step is to make sure you've got all your books boxed up, in (preferably) uniform sized boxes <br />(Piease refer to Exhibit B). <br /> <br />Once you have all your books in boxes, palletizing is pretty easy if you remember these few tips. <br /> <br />1) Avoid stacking boxes directly on top of, and in-iine with, one another. This results in a very 'toppie- <br />happy' pallet. Having 9 columns (assuming a 3x3 base structure) of book boxes will definitely topple <br />over in transit. <br /> <br />2) Do not stack your boxes over 4-5 layers high. Depending on how sound your pallet structure is, <br />you can get away with a pallet 6 boxes in height, but usually 4-5 is high enough. <br /> <br />3) Don't be bashful with your shrink wrap. It is fairly cheap material, and if extra wrapping keeps your <br />pallet of boxes from toppling while in transit, then it was well worth it. <br /> <br />Poor Form: Boxes in vertical columns Good Form: Interlocking/overlapping structure <br /> <br />If you are stuck with a bunch of different sized boxes - try to save all of the odd shaped boxes for one <br />pallet, and do as much uniform box palletizing as you can - do your best to build an interlocking, <br />sound structure and lay it thick with the shrink wrap. <br /> <br />Thanks for you attention to this matterl <br /> <br />- 8 - <br />
