Shock The larger or bulkier the package, the lower the probable drop height. Handholds reduce the probable drop height by lowering the container relative to the floor. Cautionary labeling (fragile, this side up, handle with care) has only a minor effect. Cautionary labeling is no substitute for sound packaging practice. Address labels tend to orient the drop to a labelup position regardless of other instructions.Shock The larger or bulkier the package, the lower the probable drop height.
