  • Vehicle wheels are typically shipped in large quantities to vehicle suppliers. Typically, the vehicle wheels are packaged in a stacked relationship using large plastic sheets, clips, and cardboard dividers. Assembly for shipping is labor intensive and time consuming. Also, the plastic sheets and cardboard dividers are scrapped after use, which can cause environmental concerns.
