Recommendations on the types and types of packaging of goods in air transportation:
Shipping packaging protects the cargo from damage during transportation. It also simplifies the loading and unloading of products. Many people confuse the concept of packaging and packaging. Packaging is all materials used to protect the shipment from damage. Packaging refers to its part and is a container where products are placed for further transportation.
Shipping and customer packaging are two different things. The goods can be delivered in a beautiful factory box, but for transportation the object must be securely fixed. If the product is classified as fragile, then good cushioning should also be ensured. That's what shipping packaging is for.
Types of cargo packages
Packages and containers for goods are rigid, semi-rigid and soft. They are selected based on the characteristics of the transported objects. Rigid packaging is made of wood and chipboard. They are usually chosen for the transportation of fragile and non-standard goods. They are considered universal. Semi-rigid packaging is made of plastic or cardboard. In such containers and containers are placed products that are resistant to mechanical stress and have their own depreciation. Soft packaging is made of film, fabric or polymers. They are used for additional protection of goods.
