What are the Most Common Measures to Protect Your Packages?

The shipment of goods faces a great deal of complications from start to end. From having all permissions and regulations, both the FDA and CBD, to the sanitary measures, each product requires to arrive in a perfect state. Besides that, some factors can't be entirely controlled and could compromise the quality of the commodity, like the weather, vibrations and rough handling. How can you ensure your products are safely protected for transport? As it is impossible to foresee unexpected complications, protective packing is the solution to the problem!

Sea Freight

Shipping through the seas is one of the most efficient ways of transport, but it can also pose a risk for most commodities. Salt water contamination and salt water vapors are factors that could make their way into your goods. To avoid these two from affecting your products, have your shipper incorporate vapor barriers into the design of your packaging. Also, make sure that all your goods are properly sealed and placed in the case that tides cause excessive movement and misplacements.

Air Freight

Most companies need their packages to arrive as soon as possible, making this option a must for them. This mode of transport is, generally, really safe, and it also improves the level of service for customers. Unfortunately, not all goods are allowed or suitable for air transport. Also, this transport method often comes with airport taxes, excise, and customs restrictions.  
If you decide to use this method of transportation, you must consider the atmospheric pressure, as it can affect your products if not packaged properly. The movement is another factor that can affect your packages due to the acceleration, take-off and possible turbulences. To avoid potential damage to your goods, make sure all your products are properly wrapped to secure and isolate them.

Road Transport

All packages will require road transport at some point in the shipping process. Road transportation is the least expensive and the most efficient way of transporting perishables and raw material. But you must keep in mind that there are many complications on the way as well, like unexpected delays, bad weather, vibrations and careless driving.
To ensure the protection of your goods during road transport, you must be very selective with the design of your packages. For example, vibrations can be prevented by adding cushions to your package, as they absorb the movement. The cushion should be devised in a way that there’s no influence from vibration and the good is isolated from it.
Protecting your package will determine if your products arrive safely or damaged. If you work in a business that requires regular shipping, it’s your responsibility to handle your goods transport properly. Does your business need assistance in the whole shipping process?
