Requirements for export packaging

In this era of economic openness, international trade is increasing day by day, and export has become the “key industry” of our country. Domestic companies must pay attention to special packaging of products to improve their advantages and competitiveness with goods from other countries. Export packaging regulations should be learned and carefully researched as each country/region has specific requirements.

Requirements on export packaging characteristics:

Before export, the goods are carefully inspected both internally and externally. In particular, due to world environmental protection laws, the quality of exported plastic packaging must be more strictly censored. To pass the tests, they must have all of the following characteristics:

• The package is suitable for the type of transport (eg transport by ship, truck, bulk cargo, container cargo, plane, etc.).
• The package must be of suitable size for easy use in warehouses, pallets or containers.
• The package meets the requirements of strength and durability to withstand shocks, pulls and jolts during storage, handling and transport.
• The package must be suitable for different weather conditions in different continents and countries.
• The packaging must ensure the protection of the product so that the object does not start to smell, mold or damage. The package clearly states the requirements that must be taken into account when loading, transporting, storing the package….
