Introduction to Logistical Packaging

Hi! Eden here, here come the first post

The reason that goods have to be pack is due to this few following reasons :

(a) Protection of goods
One example would be the storing of dangerous cargo, the box used have to meet UN standard to ensure that the cargo can have maximum protect which protect it from leakage.

(b)Containment
Cargo which are going to be transported by ship have to be kept in the container be it a 20 footer or a 40 footer.This is to prevent the content in the package from shifting.

(c)Communication
Cargo are sometime paste with bar code or RFID.This enable each station to update the status of the cargo so that the customers are able to get on-time infomation of their product.

(d)Unitisation
Allow packages to be consolidated into larger packages and finally palletised into a single unit for shipping.One example would be when a forwarder want to forward a good, they will consolidate all the goods by putting them in a pallet and strap them together before sending them to the plane
