The standard of American logistics is to ensure that goods can reach their destination safely and completely during transportation, while ensuring the smooth progress of handling, loading and unloading and other links. The following are some specifications related to the packaging of goods:
1. The packaging is strong and intact: The packaging of the goods must be strong, intact, and lightweight, and can prevent the packaging from breaking, the contents from leaking, and being lost during transportation. This helps protect goods from damage and loss.
2. Adaptable shape: The shape of the packaging should be suitable for the nature, condition and weight of the goods, and should be convenient for handling, loading, unloading and stacking. This ensures efficient handling of goods during logistics.
3. Special cargo requirements: For goods and animals transported under specific conditions, such as fresh and perishable goods, their packaging should meet specific requirements to ensure that their safety and quality are not compromised.
4. Extra small express shipment regulations: Extra small express shipments (such as small samples) must be packaged in wooden boxes or cartons of a certain volume, and the overall volume must comply with regulations. This helps ensure the safe transportation of small items.
5. Advance materials must not leak out: Advance materials (such as sawdust and paper scraps) in the packaging must not leak out to maintain the cleanliness and environmental protection of the goods packaging.
6. Packaging that does not meet regulations: If the packaging of goods does not meet regulations, the logistics company should explain it to the shipper and require it to be modified or repackaged before shipment. For special cases, such as the transportation of logs, there are additional regulations, such as fumigation must be carried out in the original exporting country and a recognized fumigation certificate must be presented.
In the specific packaging process, there are some additional suggestions for different types of goods:
Fragile items: It is recommended to fill with filler to avoid damage. The gross weight of a single piece of precision, fragile, fragile and fragile goods should not exceed 25 kilograms, and multi-layer packaging, hanging packaging, anti-inversion packaging, glassware packaging, etc. can be used.
Liquid cargo: There must be 5-10% gap inside the container, and the cover must be flat and tight without leakage.
Powdered goods: Ensure that the powder does not leak out.
Precision and fragile goods: It is recommended to adopt multi-layer packaging, hanging packaging, anti-inversion packaging, etc.
In addition, measures such as laying a layer of waterproof supplies in the carton, placing light and heavy items in a reasonable manner, and filling the box with filler will also help ensure the safety of the goods during transportation.
These specifications and recommendations are intended to improve the packaging quality of goods, reduce damage and loss during transportation, and ensure the efficient logistics process.
