Basic Requirements for Sea Freight Packaging

 


1. The goods' packaging should be firm and intact to prevent breaking, leakage, and loss of contents during transportation; to prevent the goods from being damaged or deteriorated due to stacking, friction, shock, or changes in air pressure and temperature; and to prevent injury or pollution of aircraft, shipping containers, ground equipment, and other items.

 

2. In addition to being appropriate for the nature, state, and weight of the goods, the packaging should be easy to handle, load, unload, and stack; there should be no protruding nails, hooks, thorns, etc. on the packaging's outer surface; and the packaging should be clean, dry, and free of odors and oil stains.


3. The package's advanced materials (such as sawdust and paper scraps) cannot leak. Except for goods packaged in paper bags (e.g., documents, materials), all consignments should be wrapped in packaging tape. It is strictly prohibited to use straw bag packaging or straw rope to bundle goods.

 

4. The packaging tape used to bundle the goods should be able to support the full weight of the goods and prevent the goods from becoming disconnected when lifted.


5. If the goods' packaging does not comply with the relevant regulations listed above, the shipper should be required to improve or repackage them before accepting and transporting.

 

Basic Types  for Air Packaging

 

1. Air packing carton. Should be able to support the total weight of the same packaged goods stacked three meters or four layers high. That is, when the same type of goods are stacked to a height of 3 meters or 4 layers, the packaging of the bottom layer should not be deformed or dented.


2. Air-packed wooden box. The thickness and structure should be appropriate for the needs of safe transportation of goods; wooden boxes containing valuables, precision instruments, and fragile items must be free of defects such as corrosion, moth damage, cracks, and so on.

 

3. Air transport packaging options include baskets and bamboo baskets. The weave is tight, neat, firm, continuous, and does not drape. The overall dimensions should not exceed 50x50x60 cm. The total weight of a single piece should not exceed 40 kg. The inner goods and cushioning materials should not leak and be able to withstand the same type of packaged goods when stacked three layers high. Total weight.


4. Type of air transport packaging: iron drum. The thickness of the iron sheet should match the weight of the cargo inside. Medium and small iron drums (35-100kg) should be made of 0.6-1.0mm iron sheets, while large iron drums (101-180kg) should be made of 1.35-1.5mm iron sheets.
