The best way is folding them, stack them, cover them, and tighten.
A chair pallet protecting the first chair of the stack is a must.
With regular chair pallet you can move the chairs using a hand-truck conveniently. At Drake, we supply chair pallets that can be used both with hand truck for deliveries, and with pallet-jacks for warehouse moving of multiple stacks at a time.
Some of our customers use PE film to wrap the chairs for storage or transportation.
Bright side: PE film is cheap.
Problem: using PE film protects the chairs from the warehouse to the customer, but very seldom workers take the same care in packing to bring the chairs back from the customer to the warehouse after the event.
We supply covers, which are strong, protective, and easy to use for every chair move (both to and from the customer). When you are using a cover: that's it, chair-handlers must use it every time, even for re-pack from the customer to your warehouse, because it is there, and it is easy to put on the stack.
25 chairs per stack is a good number because it eases up counting.
NOTICE: DO NOT USE COTTON COVERS WITH RESIN CHAIRS, as the static electricity produced by the two materials combined, attracts dust and any kind of dirt.
WHAT IF I CANNOT USE STACKS?This happens when your customers are picking up the chairs themselves, and the means of transportation that they use are not standard (they might range from a 2 seat convertible, to a minivan, or a pick-up truck). In this situation, the smartest thing to do is: BAG THEM.
