Mold-Proof Packaging refers to a special packaging method designed to prevent mold growth on goods during transportation and storage due to environmental factors such as moisture and high temperatures. It is typically used for mold-prone products such as textiles, leather goods, food, wood, and paper. Application scenarios include ocean shipping, long-term warehousing, or export to high-humidity regions. Precautions: Mold inhibitors (e.g., desiccants, mold-proof sheets), packaging materials (e.g., moisture-proof paper, aluminum foil bags), and sealing methods should be selected according to product characteristics, and must comply with the environmental and safety regulations of the importing country. Difference from other terms: Moisture-proof packaging focuses on blocking water vapor, while mold-proof packaging emphasizes inhibiting mold growth; vacuum packaging prevents mold by removing oxygen, but may not be suitable for all products. Mold-proof packaging is often used in combination with moisture-proof and rust-proof packaging, and is a common packaging clause in foreign trade contracts.
📝 Examples
1. The textiles under this contract shall be packaged in mold-proof packaging, with a mold-proof sheet added to each item and sealed in aluminum foil bags, to adapt to the high-humidity environment during ocean shipping to Southeast Asia. (Note: This specifies the detailed requirements for mold-proof packaging and explains the applicable environment.)
2. When exporting leather goods, we recommend using mold-proof packaging and attaching a mold inhibitor test report to ensure compliance with EU environmental standards. (Note: This emphasizes compliance to avoid returns caused by excessive mold inhibitor levels.)
