Real-World Example | Successful Story HAPCO
Case Hapco
A manufacturer of industrial parts in Iran had previously shipped items with insufficient internal padding, causing minor damage and delays. Hapco redesigned the packaging process:
- Heavy-duty crates with reinforced interiors
- Clear labeling and secured pallets
- Pre-inspection before departure
Results:
- 100% cargo integrity
- No transit delays
- Improved client trust and repeat contracts
Risk: internal movement causing damage
Solution: reinforced packaging and pre-shipment inspection
Outcome: reliable, repeatable process for all shipments to Australia
Coordination with Transport and Transit
Packaging must align with the chosen transport mode. Sea freight requires water-resistant crates and stable container loading, while air freight focuses on weight optimization and fast handling.
