Specific container specifications are provided: a 24 1/2 x 4 x 4 inch container with strapping per ASTM D 3925, cushioning materials per PPP-C-795, and wrapping per MIL-B-121. The document notes that "lay-in-place" is not an acceptable packing method and that closure shall follow applicable container specifications. Assembly instructions require wrapping the item, applying cushioning, and placing the wrapped item in the container before closing.
