Packing

Good packing is the first and most important layer of protection.

Overview

Cargo travelling internationally may be handled many times — loaded, transferred, stacked and unloaded across different modes. How it is packed has a direct effect on how it arrives.

We assist with preparing goods for shipment, whether that means protecting delicate items, consolidating cartons onto pallets, or making sure packaging suits the mode of transport. Help with unpacking can also be discussed.

Questions

Common questions

Why does export packing matter?

International cargo is handled more often and for longer than domestic deliveries. Packaging designed for that journey reduces the risk of damage and can also affect how the shipment is charged and accepted by carriers.
