Packing and labeling New this year….

• Complete and include Member Contribution Form (FOR EACH BAG) Any box without a form will be consider donation
  
• Label EACH BAG with your ranch name and Member ID number.
• AFCNA is requesting that all boxes that you submit be the same size for ease in handling and stacking. 16x16x16 has proven to be an excellent size.  18x18x18 will hold substanially more, but be advised that you may be subject to oversized shipping charges.
• Place like colors in the same box. Put all whites in one box, all lights (light fawn/beige) in another box, all fawns, browns, blacks, etc. in their own boxes. If this isn’t possible, then mark on the box what colors are in each box.
• Use new or excellent condition boxes
• Remove as much air as you can from the bags (by hand or with a vacuum) and compress it. Do not use rubber bands, twist-ties, etc. to secure bags. Pack in box promptly to prevent bags from inflating. 
  
• Write your ranch name, AFCNA member number, and number of fleeces (AND COLOR OF FLEECES) enclosed on outside of box.
• If you have more than one box, label each box with the box number and total number of boxes.
  • Example: if you are sending 3 boxes: Box 1 of 3, box 2 of 3, box 3 of 3
