Poorly packaged cargo can lead to damage, insurance claims, delays, and disputes with carriers or customs authorities. Hapco ensures that every shipment is packaged according to the type of cargo, transport mode, and transit risks, turning a potential risk into a controlled logistics process.

Packaging Guidelines for Different Cargo Types

  • Use heavy-duty crates with reinforced corners
  • Secure internal parts with foam, straps, or padding
  • Apply anti-corrosion treatment for metal components

Perishable or Temperature-Sensitive Goods

  • Insulated packaging with temperature control devices
  • Include moisture barriers and humidity absorbers
  • Ensure fast transport options like air freight when necessary

Bulk & Palletized Goods

  • Stabilize pallets with shrink wrap or strapping
  • Use standardized containers for LCL/FCL shipments

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.
