Most products,such as sanitary napkins,adult diaper,adult pants diaper,underpad and puppy pad, travel in containers of uniform size and shape. Choosing an adequate container, reviewing its condition and securing the merchandise are some tips for safely shipping goods to their destination.
Decisions regarding how to load a container can be divided into two steps:
First, the type of container that is required.Regularly,most of them are 20FCL and 40HQ for your best chooice.
Second, how to load the merchandise itself.
First step: deciding on container type
This decision depends on the characteristics of the product to be shipped,there are six types of containers:
- General purpose containers: “these are the most common, and are the ones with which most people are familiar. Each container is fully closed and has full width doors at one end for access. Both liquid and solid substances can be loaded in these containers.”
- Refrigerated containers: are designed to carry products that require refrigeration.
- Dry bulk containers: “these are built especially for the carriage of dry powders and granular substances.”
- Open top/open sided containers: these can be open on the top or on the sides for the carriage of heavy or unusual size cargo.
- Liquid cargo containers: these are ideal for bulk liquids (wine, oils, detergents, etc.)
- Hanger containers: they are used for the shipment of garments on hangers.
Second step: how to load the container
Once a decision has been made as to the type of container that will be used, we as a exporter must address the task of loading the merchandise,it’ll be divided into three steps.
The first step is to check the container before starting to load. Our logisitic manager said that we should “examine the physical condition of the container just as if you were buying it: Has it been repaired? If so, does the repair quality restore the original strength and weather-proof integrity?” “check if there are no holes in the container: somebody should get inside the container, close the doors and ensure that no light enters.”Also we’ll be reminds to check that no placards or labels are left on the container from earlier cargo so as to avoid confusion.
The second step is the loading of the container. Here pre-planning is probably the most relevant point: “It is important to pre-plan the stowage of the cargo in the container. The weight should be spread evenly over the entire length and width of the floor of the container.” We as a exporter are responsible for loading their products into the shipping containers.Protruding parts, edges or corners of goods should not be placed with soft goods such as sacks or cardboard boxes; odor emitting goods should not be placed with odor sensitive goods.
Another important point has to do with empty space: if there is free space in the container, certain goods may move during the trip and damage others. We’ll Fill it or secure it,or use dunnage, block it out. Leave no void spaces or loose packages on top.
The third step is to check the container once it is loaded.
Finally,we’ll check that door handles are sealed and – in case of open top containers- that protruding parts have been properly tied.
Recently we have studied the new ways to load more qty in 1*20FCL/40HQ,
