Planning packaging for freight and delivery

How pack-out, master cartons, shipment method and destination affect packaging before production begins.

Technical guide

How pack-out, master cartons, shipment method and destination affect packaging before production begins.

01

Calculate the pack-out before finalizing size

A small change to the retail package can affect how many units fit in a master carton, on a pallet or in a shipment. Review orientation, dividers and void space before the structure is locked.

02

Match protection to the journey

Parcel delivery, palletized freight and container shipping create different handling, compression and vibration conditions. The retail pack, insert and master carton should be tested as one system.

03

Choose air or sea freight with the launch plan

Air freight can support urgent or staged quantities, while sea freight usually requires more schedule allowance. Typical stated windows of 5–7 days by air and 20–35 days by sea remain subject to route, customs and shipment conditions.

04

Approve shipping details before dispatch

Final inspection should confirm quantity, packing method, carton marks and visible quality requirements. Delivery address, consignee information and required documents should be checked before the shipment leaves production.
