- The packaging must clearly indicate the name, quantity, weight, volume, sender and recipient information, destination, etc., of the goods.

- Use internationally recognized labels and symbols to ensure that dockworkers can correctly identify and handle the goods.

Packaging requirements for different types of goods

1. Machinery Equipment

- Outer Packaging: Use sturdy wooden crates or iron boxes to ensure the box structure is robust and can withstand pressure and impact during transportation.

- Internal Fixation: Secure the equipment inside the box with wooden frames, pallets, or metal brackets to prevent movement during transportation.

- Shock Absorption Materials: Fill the space between the equipment and the packaging box with cushioning materials such as foam or bubble wrap to reduce vibrations during transportation.

1. Heavy Equipment

- Base Design: Design a special base or support for heavy equipment to ensure stability and reliability during transportation.

- Securing Devices: Use steel cables, nylon straps, or metal brackets to firmly secure the equipment within the frame cabinet, preventing sliding or tipping during transportation.

- Shock Absorption Measures: Place shock-absorbing pads or rubber pads between the base and the equipment to minimize the impact of vibrations on the equipment.

1. Oversized Equipment

- Open-top or Frame Cabinets: Oversized equipment is typically transported using open-top or frame cabinets, with packaging ensuring safe loading, unloading, and transportation.

- Windproof Securing: When transporting in an open-top cabinet, cover the equipment with canvas or windproof material and secure it tightly with ropes to prevent the effects of sea winds.

-Special Brackets: Design special brackets and securing devices for ultra-wide or ultra-high equipment to ensure stability and reliability during transportation.

1. Electronic Equipment

- Anti-static Materials: Wrap electronic equipment with anti-static packaging materials to prevent damage from static electricity.

Buffering materials

Options: Foam, bubble wrap, wood shavings, cardboard, etc., choose appropriate buffering materials based on the characteristics of the goods.

Precautions: Buffering materials should be thick enough to effectively absorb shocks and vibrations during transportation.

Packaging inspection and examination:

Internal Inspection

- Before loading the goods into the box, check if the internal packaging is intact, if there is sufficient cushioning material, and if the equipment is securely fixed.

External Inspection

- Check if the external packaging box is undamaged, if the labels are clear, and if waterproof and moisture-proof measures are in place.

Reinforcement and Sealing

- After packing, reinforce the packaging box with steel straps, plastic bands, or ropes to ensure it does not loosen or break during transportation.

- Seal the box body with waterproof tape or sealing tape to prevent water from entering.

Photographing and Recording
