Packaging is your cargo’s first defense. We provide the essential guidance and services needed to ensure your goods are securely protected, compliant with international standards, and optimized for cost-effective transit.
SERVICE DETAIL
Proper packaging is the first and most critical step in securing your goods for the journey from China to Africa. The rigors of international shipping—including multiple handling stages, stacking, humidity, and vibration—require packaging that meets strict standards.
We provide essential guidance and services to ensure your cargo is protected, compliant, and optimized for cost-effective international transit via air, sea, or rail.
In the world of logistics, packaging serves three key purposes:
Protection: It acts as the primary defense against damage from impact, compression (stacking), and environmental factors (moisture, temperature shifts). Poor packaging is the leading cause of insurance claims.
Compliance: Certain international regulations (like IATA for air freight or IMO for hazardous goods) mandate specific packaging materials and labeling.
Optimization: Effective packaging reduces the dimensional weight and volume, directly impacting your freight costs and ensuring maximum container utilization.
We provide the expertise you need to select the right materials and techniques for your specific cargo:
| Service | Description | Benefit to You |
| Material Consultation | Advice on choosing durable materials like reinforced corrugated cardboard, wooden crates (IPPC certified), and stretch film for waterproofing. | Ensures durability and resistance to handling and weather. |
| Labeling & Marking | Guidance on mandatory international symbols, accurate destination marks, handling instructions, and required tracking labels. | Prevents misrouting and ensures handlers use proper caution. |
| Palletization | Advice on correctly securing goods to standard-sized pallets, which improves handling speed and minimizes damage during forklift use. | Essential for secure stacking and efficient container loading. |
| Crating & Dunnage | Consultation on building custom wooden crates for heavy, oversized, or fragile machinery, and using dunnage (cushioning materials) to prevent internal movement. | Maximum protection for high-value or fragile items. |
Consolidation is the process of grouping multiple smaller shipments or packages into one larger, unified load (either a pallet or a container).
If you have goods from 3-5 different suppliers across China, we collect all shipments at our central warehouse.
We then re-package, re-label, and consolidate them into a single, volume-optimized shipment before placing them into a shared container for ocean or rail transport.
Benefit: You avoid multiple minimum shipping fees and reduce the overall dimensional weight, leading to significant freight savings.
Even when using a full container, our team can advise on the optimal way to pack and load the container (stuffing) to eliminate wasted space (air) and ensure weight distribution compliance.
Benefit: Maximum utilization of the 20ft or 40ft container capacity.
