Purpose,
description, and use
Protect media items from damage during shipping.
Alliance distributes special containers for shipping non-book materials,
sized specially for videotapes, audiocassettes, and compact disks. The
corrugated cardboard boxes have an Alliance (or Summit) identifying label.
Items are placed in the shipping container, and the container goes into the
courier bag with books.
