Transport Packaging

Transport packaging, also known as outer packaging or industrial packaging, refers to packaging designed to protect goods during logistics, facilitate storage, handling, and transportation. It differs from sales packaging (inner/consumer packaging), which directly contacts the product and faces the end consumer, mainly for promotion and information. The main functions of transport packaging are to protect goods from vibration, impact, moisture, theft, etc., to facilitate mechanized operations such as forklifting and lifting, and to comply with carrier and importing country regulations on packaging (e.g., fumigation for wooden packaging). Use scenarios include export sea, air, land, and multimodal transport. Precautions: choose materials (e.g., cartons, wooden cases, pallets, containers) based on product characteristics, transport mode, and climate; mark shipping marks, center of gravity, moisture-proof signs; consider environmental and recyclable requirements. The difference from sales packaging is that transport packaging usually does not reach the consumer with the product but exists as a logistics unit, with design focusing more on strength, stacking efficiency, and cost.
