Air Cargo Packaging Guidelines
Proper Packaging:
Goods should be packaged securely to minimize the risk of damage during transit. Use sturdy materials such as corrugated boxes, bubble wrap, and padding for protection.
For fragile items, consider double-boxing or using additional cushioning to ensure safe delivery.
Palletisation:
For bulk or heavy goods, palletisation is recommended to keep items secure and reduce the risk of damage.Pallets should be tightly wrapped and appropriately labeled to prevent shifting during air transport.
Labeling:
Proper labeling is essential for all air cargo shipments. Ensure that all packages have visible and accurate shipping labels, including the contents of the package, destination address, and any special handling instructions (e.g., “Fragile,” “This Side Up”).
By following these guidelines, you ensure that your goods are safely transported by air cargo while complying with all international safety regulations. For any specific questions or assistance, please contact our customer service team.
