Transport Packaging

Transport packaging is critical for safeguarding your products during handling and shipment. Whether fragile electronics, food, beverages or consumer goods, the right packaging ensures every product arrives safely, not just without damage but in pristine condition.

We can customise transport packaging solutions to meet the needs of any size, shape and weight of product – come and challenge us!

Why is transport packaging important?

Transport packaging shields packaged goods from physical damage, environmental conditions and possible tampering during shipment.

Inadequate transport packaging risks dissatisfied customers, on top of the cost to replace damaged products. Should tampering occur, consumer trust and business reputation could also be damaged.

Understanding the demands of global logistics and adhering to transport packaging standards is more important than ever.

Understanding transport packaging standards

To assure safe and timely delivery, companies must follow established transport packaging standards. These guidelines dictate the type of packaging materials, how durability should be tested and what labelling is appropriate. As well as ensuring your products are suitably protected, following these standards also guarantees compliance with international shipping regulations: that means smoother logistics, without unnecessary delays.

Choosing transport packaging materials

Material choice can make all the difference to whether packaging does indeed maintain product integrity during shipping. The benefits of various materials depend on the nature of your product.

We customise packaging design and material choice based on material performance specifications, testing, environmental impact and our extensive experience. This ensures product integrity without using excessive material.

Making transport packaging sustainable

For many years bubble wrap and polystyrene foam have been popular as lightweight cushioning materials inside sturdy outer packaging, especially for electronics, glassware and other delicate goods that require greater protection during shipment. Unfortunately while they score highly for convenience, they score less well on ease of recycling and sustainability. 

Our transport packaging solutions are more sustainable: we use clever design and fibre-based materials to create simplified, flexible packaging ranges that still meet the demands of fragile product shipment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the best packaging for transport?

The final solution depends on the product being shipped, but our approach ensures that sustainability does not have to compromise reliable product protection. We can design solutions for your product or range using simple-to-source fibre-based material, which is easy to recycle anywhere in the world.

Is transport packaging classed as primary, secondary or tertiary?

Transport packaging may fall into any of these categories.

Primary packaging is the first layer, i.e. in direct contact with the product. This could be shipment-ready branded packaging, such as a printed corrugated carton.

Secondary packaging groups small quantities of product together for logistics, for example a plain brown outer carton that holds 6 primary packs.

Tertiary packaging is used to transport larger quantities of goods in primary or secondary packaging, for example a pallet or shipping container.
