Here’s how to choose the right transport packaging for your product

1. Look at the characteristics of your products

It is very important that the type of material and structure of the transport packaging perfectly match the specific characteristics of your goods. With fragile products, it is smart to choose sturdy shipping boxes that offer protection against shock. For lightweight products, another type of box will suffice, as long as it still maintains stability and efficiency during transport. The American folding box is a widely used transport packaging suitable for various products and available in different qualities. Transport trays are ideal for products such as bottles because they provide extra strength during transport, preventing shifting or damage.

2. Material matching to product and transportation

Various materials exist for transport packaging, including cardboard, wood, plastic and metal. The selection of the most suitable material depends on the type of product and the conditions during transport. Cardboard boxes are popular as transportation packaging because of their versatility and lower cost compared to most other materials.

3. Look at the transportation method

The right choice of shipping packaging also depends on how your products will be transported. It is important to know how much the packaging will endure during transport. When the product has to travel distances, such as in international transport in a container, the packaging has different requirements than when it is only transported between Rotterdam and Amsterdam. If your product travels long distances and might be transshipped a few times, it’s smart to go for sturdy, shock-resistant packaging.

4. Match the packaging to the size of the product

Too much space in the package can increase the risk of damage. Therefore, it is advisable to choose transport packaging that is precisely tailored to the dimensions of the product. This can be achieved through customization.

5. Consider sustainability and environmental friendliness

At a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly important, it is crucial to choose transportation packaging that is not only effective, but also friendly to the environment. Go for recyclable materials and try to minimize the use of non-biodegradable components. In addition to the material of the packaging itself, it is important to reduce the environmental impact of the transportation process. Choose smart packaging designs, such as boxes that can be stacked, to optimize space and reduce the number of transport movements required.
