What types of Packing methods we use for International Shipping ?
International Shipping, various types of packing methods and materials are used to secure and protect goods during transportation. The choice of packing type depends on the nature of the cargo, its fragility, and the mode of transportation. Here are some common types of packing in the shipping business:
Containerization: This involves packing goods in standard shipping containers, such as ISO containers. Containerization is one of the most common and efficient packing methods for various types of cargo. It simplifies handling, reduces the risk of damage, and allows for easy transfer between different modes of transportation (ship, truck, train).
Palletization:Cargo is arranged on pallets, typically made of wood or plastic, and then wrapped with shrink wrap or stretch film. This method simplifies the handling of goods and is commonly used for items that can be stacked, like boxes of merchandise.
Crating: For fragile or irregularly shaped items, wooden crates are used. These crates provide added protection and can be customized to fit the dimensions of the cargo precisely.
Drum Packing: Liquids, chemicals, and certain bulk materials are often packed in steel or plastic drums. This provides a secure and leak-proof way to transport such cargo.
Bulk Packing: Certain commodities, like grains, ores, and liquids, are shipped in bulk without individual packaging. They are loaded directly into the cargo hold of a ship or a bulk container.
Bagging: Loose materials, such as agricultural products (e.g., grains, seeds) and some chemicals, are often packed in bags. These bags can be made of jute, paper, or plastic, depending on the nature of the cargo.
Reefer Containers: For perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, and pharmaceuticals, refrigerated or reefer containers are used. These containers are equipped with temperature and humidity control systems to maintain the cargo's quality.
Flat Racks: Oversized cargo, machinery, or vehicles that don't fit within standard containers can be loaded onto flat racks. These are specialized containers with open sides, allowing for easier loading and unloading.
Tank Containers: For the transport of liquids and gases, tank containers with a cylindrical shape are used. They are designed to withstand the pressures and safety requirements of the cargo they carry.
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs): Often referred to as "big bags" or "bulk bags," FIBCs are used for bulk goods like grains, minerals, and chemicals. They are made of flexible, woven fabric and can be loaded onto pallets for easy handling.
Vessel Hold Packing: In the case of bulk cargo or general cargo in a ship's hold, specific stowage and securing methods are used to maximize cargo capacity and minimize the risk of damage during transit.
Dunnage: This involves the use of materials like wood, plastic, or airbags to fill void spaces in a container or vessel hold. Dunnage helps prevent cargo from shifting during transportation.
