Topp Clip Installation Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pallet

Prepare the pallet (or crate) prior to applying the Topp Clip System.

1. As needed to prevent pilfering of one carton, use cardboard panels, or wood panels on the sides, bottom and top. Other options include shrink wrap, stretch wrap, and/or a plastic bag
2. As needed to prevent shifting loads during shipping, secure the pallet with stretch wrap, banding, edge protectors, and/or strap protectors.
3. The pallet is now ready to apply the Topp Clip system.

Step 2: Tension the Strapping
