4. When shipping your products for distribution,
your transport packaging solution and design
isn't a decision that you should take lightly.
Transport packaging works to protect goods
while they are in transit, and because most
shipments are subject to more than one mode of
transportation throughout their journey,
packaging needs to be designed to stand up to
both local and export conditions. By exploring
the four main package transportation methods
and their hazards, you can get a better idea
about your transport packaging solution needs.

6. • Sea or ocean freight transportation is often used by companies that
need to ship large amounts of goods at once. While this is the longest
mode of transportation, it is ideal for bulk shipments, especially
minerals and coal. It is a suitable option for products with long lead
times, and for large volumes, it is an affordable and economical
transportation solution. However, this mode of transportation tends to
be quite slow, is subject to customs restrictions, and can lead to
product damage due to environmental hazards and movement if your
goods aren't packaged properly.
• Load Optimization is Crucial When Loading an Ocean Freight
Container
When transporting your products via ocean freight, it is crucial that you
optimize your container load. Not only will you reduce your shipping
expenses, but you will also reduce the potential for damage during
transport. Non-optimized loads mean that you'll have unused space
within the container, allowing your items room to shift and move up
against each other during transport. For proper load optimization, follow
a few simple steps:

7. Inspect the container. Your container needs to be
inspected carefully before anything is loaded. Pay close
attention to any contamination or residue on the floor, as
these substances could cause a negative reaction with your
cargo.
Load heavy materials first. Large, heavy items should
always be loaded first on the floor and against the
container's front wall. Lighter items should be placed at the
top.
Distribute weight across the container. If your container
is loaded to maximum capacity, it is important that the
weight is evenly distributed across the floor area.
Before loading, it is important to plan ahead. There are
advanced tools and software programs that use values like
package weight, dimension, volume, and restrictions in order
to help you reach an optimal container load.

9. • Companies that work with short lead times and require their packages
to be transported as quickly as possible often choose air freight. This
is a relatively safe mode of transport, and it reduces supplier lead
times while improving the overall level of service. However, only certain
goods are suitable for air transport, and this expensive option often
comes with airport taxes, custom and excise restrictions, and other
regulatory requirements.
• Hazards of Air Freight Transport
If you choose to transport via air freight, there are certain hazards
for which you need to prepare by choosing the right packaging:
Atmospheric changes and environmental exposures. High and low
atmospheric pressures can have a dramatic effect on certain
packages,
• and humidity changes can result in condensation or corrosion that could
affect your product if not packaged properly.

10. • In-transport movement. Your packages are liable to
shift and move significantly during air transport.
From acceleration and take-off, to in-flight
dropping and pitching if turbulence is experienced,
your package needs to be able to withstand any
unexpected pitching or jarring.
Shock. Shock occurs during transport and handling
as a result of impacts with containers, racks, floors,
and other shipments. Proper cushioning within your
package will reduce damage that results from shock,
and most products will require some level of shock
protection in order to prevent damage during
distribution.

12. • When shipping your products via road transport,
it is important that you choose the right package
design.
• Almost all packaging will require road transport to
some degree. Road transportation is cost effective
and ideal for transporting perishables for short
distances. It is easy to monitor the location of your
goods, but your packaging could be damaged by
mishandling or careless driving. If you are choosing
road transport, it is important to prepare for
potential delays, including traffic, truck breakdown,
and bad weather.

14. • Rail transportation is a great solution for domestic or intercontinental
transport, especially for heavy goods. It is a fairly safe and reliable
mode of transport that offers fast delivery at a cost effective price
point, and it is also more environmentally-friendly than air and road
alternatives. Plus, rail freight doesn't add to traffic and roadway
congestion like other modes of transportation.
Unfortunately, rail transport isn't a perfect mode of transport and
also comes with its disadvantages. All packaging solutions need to
• be prepared to protect against damage from shunting and vibration,
and the right packaging materials can reduce and absorb the negative
effects that vibration can have on a product. Rail transport is only
available in limited routes with inflexible timetables, and if you aren't
located near a rail freight depot, you will also need to worry about
proper packaging that will protect your products during road transport
to the station.

16. • The packaging that you choose for your goods during transport can
make or break your business. Selecting the wrong transport packaging
solution could lead to damaged products, unhappy customers, and lost
business. Regardless of how you intend to ship your goods, it is critical
that you fully consider the potential hazards to which they might be
exposed and design a transport packaging solution that will keep them
safe.
