Studies from the Forestry Products Laboratory of the US Department of Agriculture show that the highly economical shipping environment of unitized packages has shifted the probability of transportation damage from the shock and impact mode, to the harmonic vibration mode. Due to the compression rate of the individual package, containing packages causes them to act as springs, resulting in toppled stacks and crushed containers. They determined that the frictional holding forces must be maintained during transit to prevent load shifting and ultimately, damage.
