Freight Packing Services

What does Freight Packing Services refer to?

Freight packing services refer to the packaging of shipments, arranged by freight forwarder, in order to prevent damages and losses during the shipment process. This would require experience and thorough understanding of the nature of product and shipment environment.

Factors to consider when using Freight Packing Services

  • Consider Packing Requirements

    There are various factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding packaging requirements. Factors such as weight of cargo, value of contents and certain regulations should be taken into account. The weight of cargo would determine the strength and durability of the box used to contain the cargo. In the case where contents are of high value, additional cushioning and protection would be needed to guarantee safe shipment. Regulations may restrict the type of packaging that can be used for certain products.

  • Use Effective Packing Techniques

    • There are various tips to ensure the effectiveness of packing techniques. For instance, there should be no empty space within the box in order to keep the contents in place during shipment as this will prevent damage. Internal packing materials such as air bags can be placed within the box to fill the void. Items such as liquids and powders, and documents require a different specific packing technique as well.

How can freight packing services ensure cargo security?

Effective freight packing services would help to prevent theft, and this has to start with brand new and sturdy packaging. The description of products, whether in text or pictures, should not be displayed on the shipment box. In the case where a description has to be placed, the following materials may be used to ensure cargo security.

Stretch Wrap

Stretch wrap comes in a range of different colours and is opaque. It can hence keep the contents of the shipment secure.

Tamper Evident Tape

Tamper evident tape provides a rather special layer of protection such that if the tape is removed by anyone, a part of the tape would stay on the box, showing that the tape has been tampered with.

Cargo Bags

Cargo bags can provide an effective protective means against theft and unfavourable weather conditions as it covers the shipment entirely. To add on, good quality bags are resistant to tears.

Strapping Seals

Strapping seals are for one-time usage only. This means that if the strap is cut or damaged in order to attain the shipment contents, there will be physical evidence that the package has been tampered with and the seal can no longer be reused.
