Export packaging enables your goods to arrive intact and undamaged with your overseas buyer. Export packaging is also often referred to as transport packaging. Examples of export packaging include wooden crates or boxes, metal drums and plastic shrink-wrapping.
As companies continue to develop their sales in order to secure a profitable future, they must look outside their domestic marketplace. To protect your goods from damage while internationalising your business, your export packaging is extremely important. In the export process, expendable packaging plays an important role due to different climate conditions and handling methods.
-Boxes and Crates
International shipping boxes and crates are used to pack a variety of items. Both may be made from wood, but their structure is different. Packaging boxes are solid and covered on all sides to keep items secure. Crates have open sides with a solid top and bottom. At ITS Ltd, we supply durable wooden crates. Wooden crates have been used extensively for exporting all types of products including electronics, machinery and engineering goods. We use high quality wood and other materials to manufacture crates to your exact specifications.
Pallets
Pallets are a flat transport structure that helps support goods and keep them stable as they are being lifted by forklifts or cranes. They provide structural foundation for a load unit and divides shipping container items among separate units. Items that are placed on pallets are usually secured by straps or shrink wrap for added security. ITS manufactures a range of pallets in Northern Ireland, Ireland and UK, using premium quality materials.
Containers
Many exporters prefer to use containers for their practicality and how easy it is to pack and move items. Containers can be made from standardised metal and provide all-around protection for high-value items like specialised equipment and expensive cars.
Loose or Unpacked Packaging
Some heavy vehicles may not be contained and are transported as general cargo instead. To prevent damage to such items, dunnage or extra protective materials are placed around goods to secure them and prevent moisture absorption. The sender of the shipping item is responsible for making sure that the goods are secured and kept firmly in place.
