Global shipping and why good packaging helps

Over 80% of the world’s good are moved through the supply chain by sea, heralding it the most common way of shipping goods across the world.

To that end, robust and fit for purpose packaging solutions are required to ensure product makes the journey, intact and undamaged.

This is why corrugated remains a hugely popular choice for supply chain packaging.

Corrugated allows:

• A pack that is tailored specifically to product and shipping requirements, merging the two to deliver the best outcome for customer and global shipping partners.

• The product to be secured within the pack to eradicate damage or destruction. Packs can also be designed with types of board that help to prevent moisture absorption caused by fluctuations in temperature.

• Easy packing of products to ensure performance efficiencies are maintained or enhanced

Gavin Richardson, CEO, Boxes and Packaging commented; “The last few years have shown how important global supply chains are to our every day lives and in turn has made consumers and businesses more aware of how important it is to ensure product arrives intact and ready for use in the state it was intended.

“Whilst sea freight remains the preferred method for shipping many goods across the globe, air freight also plays its part in moving goods from one country to another.

“In a busy world where businesses and consumers have little time to wait for replacement products, correctly designed corrugated packaging remains hugely important to global supply chains, whatever the modes of transport used.”
