Package
You must know the importance of an effective package, especially for long-distance transportation or export/import logistic. As long as you keep the points for packaging design in mind, the damage and collision of goods are greatly reduced during transportation.
The following 4 key points of package design that you must pay attention to.

Wooden box, Pellet, Corrugated Cardboard Carton
2 Fill The Space As Much As Possible
Expanding Foam Packaging, EPE Foam, Bubble Wraps
3 Fasten The Goods Together

Accessory Packaging Material
Generally speaking, during chain transportation, there are lots of handlers. The shipper and receiver hardly determine the damage point and where goes wrong as the damage delivery unfortunately happened. Are your main products high value-added commodities, such as precision instruments, medical equipment, LCD screens, servers or solar energy? Any incident increases irreparable and high costs. Production cost, additional freight charge, lead time and goodwill causes unnecessary trouble.
In this section, we provide 2 accessory packaging materials for transportation, which has been proven to effectively prevent damage delivery by 70%!
1 Shock indicator
The shock indicator we mentioned here is a shock indicator for shipment monitoring. The shock indicator has 5 types, each can detect a different impact force and drop height. The shock indicator can accurately be applied to different goods. Its usage is very simple, just like a shipping warning sticker. You just tear off the sticker and apply it to your outer carton.
Under normal circumstances, the shock indicator is white. Once the goods that contain the shock indicator are dropped or impacted, the middle window will immediately turn red, indicating product damage. The red activation makes the shipper, logistic chain, and consignee react fastly.
The great advantages of using a shock indicator are to remind the handlers of a careful handle and to provide smoking-gun evidence in case of damage delivery. Moreover, most handlers pay more attention to goods with shock indicator to avoid trouble.
2 Tip Indicator
The tip indicator turns from silver to red on a plane greater than 80°. Its usage is as simple as shock detector. Just tearing off its back adhesive and apply it to the outer surface of shipments.
When the tilt angle of the anti-tilt label on a plane is greater than 80°, the indicator in the middle will turn from silver to red, and it is as simple to use as the anti-shock label, just tear off the sticker and stick it on the goods.
Under normal circumstances, the tip indicator remains silver, even if the airplane takes off or landed, the tip indicator will not cause error activation.
Ship Via Quality Logistics Companies
There are many logistics services in the market, but what are the conditions to be viewed as an excellent logistic service?
A high-quality logistic company usually has 3 traits as follows.
1 Complete Transportation Equipment
A good transport service should have a series of transportation equipment, such as cranes, stackers, air-ride trucks, etc., in order to be able to provide better handling and transportation chain.
2 Transport Efficiency
The logistic company must be highly efficient to meet the needs of customers. Many logistic companies or express are able to deliver from place of departure to destination within 3 days.
3 Highly Rated
The logistics company ensures perfect delivery that the transported items are not damaged to the destination.
This is the main point that a good logistics company should have. You should choose a high-rated logistic company among logistics so that you don’t need to worry about the lack of experience and training.
