Professional packing must withstand lifting, stacking, vibration, humidity and repeated handling while protecting the product and keeping labels readable.

Assess the cargo

Identify fragility, weight, dimensions, centre of gravity, moisture sensitivity, temperature needs and dangerous-goods status.

Choose suitable materials

  • Strong double- or triple-wall cartons
  • Foam, dividers and edge protectors
  • Heat-treated timber crates and pallets where required
  • Stretch wrap, strapping and anti-slip materials
  • Moisture barriers and desiccants when justified
