Logistics And Product Packaging


E-commerce and automated processes have increased the complexity of shipping and packaging products. Different authorities have introduced new packaging standards and regulations to secure consumer’s interest in the most effective manner. All this makes product packaging quite complicated.
To make things easier for you, here is a guide.

Check product specific regulations

Shipping products in national and international markets require a lot of documentation and government approvals. Familiarize yourself with international and national packaging standards. Get necessary certification or licensing to avoid shipping delay, product inspection, and repackaging, resulting from non-compliance.

Review inspection and product handling requirement

Business that deals with hazardous or special products should learn the handling requirement of that specific product. Does it require special packaging? What kind of labeling is mandatory? Do you need a commercial license?
Choose the right kind of transportation mode and packaging material for a seamless supply chain process.

Choose the right kind of transportation

Transporting highly fragile product in single-packaging on a truck will result in loss of products.
Each transportation mode offers different environmental exposure, risk of damage, re-handling requirements, and physical stress. Keep these things in mind, when choosing packaging material. Moreover, the insurance requirement of different transportation mode will also vary.

Match packaging with physical traits

Outline the traits and characteristics of your product to match it with durable packaging material.
Products can be perishable, fragile, and sensitive to sunlight, moisture, air or certain temperatures. Conduct a physical stress test on your chosen packaging material to save yourself from repackaging cost.

Is your product subjected to inspection?

Inspection and oversee custom are dreadful processes. Cargos are inspected on delivery for accurate ship count and quality check. Choose an inspection-friendly packaging that can be easily opened and counted. Use standardized bulk-packing to streamline the inspection process.

Optimize the packaging profile

Your shipping expense is calculated according to the weight, quality and density of your shipment. Opt for cost-effective bulk packaging to avoid higher freight cost and partner with multiple shipping carriers to get competitive shipping rates.

Be green

Use reusable and recyclable packaging material for long-term sustainability. Modern customers are eco-aware. Offer them green solution to build brand image and improve sales.
