The main types of packaging include:
· Loose or unpacked - a common option for large items such as heavy vehicles. Making sure they're stored securely is more important than adding a layer of protective packaging.
· Boxes or crates - one of the most common options. They are often stacked on pallets and shrink-wrapped for stability. Less durability is required if goods are also containerised.
· Drums, usually made of metal or plastic - commonly used for transporting liquids and powders or goods that need to be kept dry.
· Wrapping - often used with goods stacked on pallets, wrapping both adds to stability and protects goods.
· Pallets - allow smaller packing units such as boxes and cartons to be grouped together. They allow easy mechanical transporting (eg forklift trucks), which eases the process of loading, unloading and warehousing.
These options are not mutually exclusive, so may be use more than one.
