The packaging of flexible packaging

Generally speaking, we will use carton packaging for flexible packaging, which is also in line with the packaging of most products. Generally speaking, we have some conventional carton size to choose from, and we will use this to calculate the approximate volume for customers before the production of the goods. However, sometimes we find that the conventional carton size is not suitable for this packaging after the production of the goods due to the flexible packaging size. Then we will reorder the carton according to the actual situation. Therefore, the volume we estimated at the beginning is for reference only, and it needs to be based on the volume of the goods after the final packaging.

In addition to carton packaging, we will use pallet packaging for roll stock directly (as shown below). We will first put a plastic bag on each roll stock, and then stack them neatly on pallets, usually a pallet can carry the weight of 1-1.5 tons. This packaging method can greatly reduce the volume, and convenient loading and unloading, and pallet can be reused all the time, in line with the needs of environmental protection. However, we suggest that this packaging method is only used in the case of full container transportation, because as shown in the figure, this packaging method can not protect the outer packaging of the product, so it is likely to harm the product during LCL shipping.

                                                                                                                                                                             The transportation of  flexible packaging

In international trade, there are sea transportation, air transportation and railway transportation. We need to decide which transportation method to choose based on the distance to the destination, the quantity and attributes of the goods, etc.
For flexible packaging, the most suitable solution is sea transportation. Sea shipping is the most commonly used mode of transportation. It has the advantages of low cost and frequent flights. Starting from China, sea shipping can reach almost every country on the earth. Of course, if you are from Central Asia or Europe, we will also recommend you to use rail transportation.
