Richmond, BC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/02/2015 -- Upward Packaging, one of the country's leading dangerous goods packaging, shipping, and training companies, now ships worldwide. In addition to providing regulation-compliant packaging supplies and services for dangerous goods of all kinds, Upward Packaging also regularly arranges safe shipment by air, ground, or water. Upward Packaging customers will now be able to have even their most challenging shipments sent virtually anywhere in the world through the company's new global shipping services, with all relevant regulations and requirements being taken into account by highly trained experts.

"We're happy to announce that we are now handling dangerous goods shipments destined for anywhere in the world," Upward Packaging founder Jesse Upward said, "Working with customers throughout western Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the United States, we have built up a strong reputation for reliable, safe, cost-effective shipping on even the toughest jobs. Our new global shipping options further extend the reach of this quality of service, with appropriate UN boxes / Dangerous Goods Packaging and other provisions being made for every shipment."

Although the vast majority of goods that are shipped by road, rail, airliner, or ship worldwide every day are innocuous, potentially dangerous items must often be moved, as well. Every country in the world maintains its own internal standards as to what precautions must be taken when doing so with domestic shipments, typically down to the level of specifying particular styles of packaging and handling measures.

With the international transport of dangerous goods, things have traditionally been a little more complicated. Starting around twenty years ago, the United Nations sought to simplify what had become a frequently incompatible morass of nation-specific rules and regulations, creating new, normalized standards that most countries now abide by. Today, arranging for the shipment of dangerous goods will often involve procuring 4GV UN Boxes, 95 kPa Bags, and other shipping supplies compliant with the United Nations regulations.

Upward Packaging is one of Canada's leading specialists at these most challenging types of packaging and shipping. Offering a full range of dangerous goods shipping supplies to customers, along with what is now worldwide shipping service, the company has grown rapidly to become an important partner to many businesses in the Canada and the United States.

With detailed, exhaustive knowledge of all the relevant domestic regulations in those countries, Upward Packaging experts even offer training courses that bring others up to speed on these topics. In line with its founding mission of being a "one stop shop" for all dangerous goods shipping needs, from labels and boxes to regulation books and packaging work, the launch of Upward Packaging's new worldwide shipping service represents an important milestone for the company and its customers.
