Master the Art of Freight Packing with Logisticness
At Logisticness, we understand that proper freight packing is crucial for a successful
shipment. Whether you're a seasoned exporter or just starting out, ensuring your cargo arrives
safely and undamaged requires careful planning and execution. Here's a breakdown of key freight
packing considerations:
Choosing the Right Packaging:
Cartons: Ideal for smaller, non-fragile items. Opt for double-walled corrugated
cardboard for added protection.
Crates:
Perfect for heavy, fragile, or irregularly shaped items. Wooden or plywood crates offer superior
strength and durability.
Pallets:
Provide a sturdy platform for stacking multiple boxes or crates.Secure cargo to the pallet using
straps, shrink wrap, or metal banding.
Packing Techniques for Optimal Protection:
Interior Padding:
Use void fill materials like packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or air pillows to
prevent items from shifting and bumping during transport.
Proper Weight Distribution:
Distribute weight evenly within boxes and crates to prevent crushing or
damage to the bottom items.
Clear Labeling:
Clearly mark all boxes and crates with essential information like weight, contents,
fragility, and handling instructions.
