Most goods need to be packed during long-distance transportation. According to its packaging method, it can be divided into single package and collective package.

Single-piece packaging refers to packaging goods as a single unit during transportation. For example, there are boxes, bags, buckets, bags, baskets, cans and so on.

Collective packaging is to combine several single pieces into a large package on the basis of single piece packaging to meet the requirements of port mechanization operation. Collective packaging can better protect goods, improve loading and unloading efficiency and save transportation costs.

For example, the common collective packaging methods are pallets, container bags and containers.

When formulating the transport packaging of goods, we should pay attention to the following five aspects:

1, packaging must adapt to the different characteristics of different commodities. Each commodity has its own characteristics, for example, food is afraid of moisture, glass products are easily broken, and fluid commodities are easy to leak, which requires transport packaging to have good properties such as moisture-proof, shock-proof, leak-proof, rust-proof and gas-proof.

2. Packaging must meet the requirements of different modes of transportation. Different modes of transportation have different requirements for transportation packaging. For example, marine packaging requires firm requirements and has the functions of anti-extrusion and anti-collision; Railway transport packaging requires the function of not being afraid of vibration; Air transport packaging should be light, not too big.

3. The laws and regulations of relevant countries and the special requirements of customers must be considered in packaging. The laws of different countries will have some different provisions on transport packaging. For example, the U.S. government announced that from 1998 12 17, all untreated wooden packing boxes and wooden supports in China will not be allowed to enter the country, so as not to endanger the United States by bringing in longicorn beetles.

4. Packaging should be convenient for transportation and identification. Transport packaging needs to go through loading and unloading, handling, storage, storage, inventory and inspection in the circulation process. In order to facilitate the operation of relevant personnel in these links, the design of packaging should be reasonable, and all kinds of labels on packaging should conform to the specifications, and efforts should be made to standardize commodity transportation packaging.

5, packaging should consider saving packaging costs as much as possible. The cost, weight and volume of transportation packaging are directly related to the expenses and economic benefits of enterprises. Therefore, when choosing packaging materials, packaging design and packaging, we should pay attention to rationality and economy on the premise of ensuring firm packaging.
