In 2024, there have been significant changes in trade. Today, we’ll mainly analyze the importance of the packaging for the sea transportation of commercial refrigerators. On the one hand, appropriate packaging can protect refrigerators from physical damage during long-distance sea transportation. During the process of maritime transportation, ships may encounter shaking and jolting caused by winds and waves. Without good protection, the outer shell of the refrigerator may be deformed due to collisions, and the precision components such as the internal refrigeration system and circuits may also be damaged, thus affecting the normal use of the refrigerator. On the other hand, the packaging can also play a role in moisture-proof and rust-proof.
The marine environment has high humidity. If moisture infiltrates into the interior of the refrigerator, it may cause the parts to rust and mildew, reducing the quality and service life of the refrigerator. Meanwhile, good packaging also facilitates loading, unloading and transportation, improving logistics efficiency.
The packaging process for the sea transportation of commercial refrigerators is as follows:
Firstly, inner packaging.
Before putting the refrigerator into the packaging box, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive cleaning and drying treatment on the refrigerator to ensure that there is no residual water stain. Wrap the whole refrigerator with plastic film, and it is best to wrap it in more than three layers. This kind of plastic film should have certain flexibility and moisture-proof properties and can effectively isolate the external moisture and dust.
For the vulnerable parts such as the doors and handles of the refrigerator, bubble wrap can be used for additional winding protection. The bubbles in the bubble wrap can buffer the external impact and reduce the damage to these parts caused by collisions. Generally, important components are packaged in multiple layers with more than two cartons.
Secondly, intermediate packaging.
Put the inner-packaged refrigerator into a corrugated cardboard box of an appropriate size. The selection of the corrugated cardboard box should be determined according to the size and weight of the refrigerator, and the paper quality of the box should have sufficient strength and toughness.
After putting the refrigerator into the carton, use foam fillers to fill the gaps between the refrigerator and the carton to keep the refrigerator stable in the carton and prevent it from colliding with the inner wall of the carton due to shaking. The foam fillers can be polystyrene foam blocks or other materials with good cushioning performance. These fillers should be filled evenly and densely, especially the four corners and edges of the refrigerator, which should be given key protection.
Finally, outer packaging. For commercial refrigerators that need to be transported by sea, the intermediate-packaged refrigerators are usually loaded into wooden pallets. Wooden pallets can provide better stability and load-bearing capacity, facilitating forklift loading and unloading and stacking in the ship’s hold. Fix the cartons containing refrigerators on the pallets with steel straps or plastic straps to ensure that there will be no displacement during the transportation process. Protective corners can also be added around the pallets to further protect the safety of refrigerators during the loading, unloading and transportation processes.
During the entire packaging process, the following points need to be noted in summary:
Firstly, the quality of packaging materials should be strictly controlled. Any inferior packaging materials may greatly reduce the packaging effect.
Secondly, packaging operations should be standardized. Whether it is the wrapping of film, the filling of fillers or the fixing of pallets, all should be carried out according to the standard process.
Thirdly, attention should be paid to environmental protection. Try to choose recyclable and degradable packaging materials to reduce environmental pollution.
Fourthly, do a good job in the inspection after packaging to ensure that the packaging is firm, undamaged and the markings are clear, including information such as the model, weight and fragile product markings of the refrigerator, so that the staff can handle it correctly during the transportation process.
Based on Nenwell’s years of experience, only by doing a good job in the packaging work of each of the above links can it be ensured that commercial refrigerators can safely reach their destinations during the sea transportation process, reduce losses caused by transportation and ensure the smooth progress of trade.
