How to choose the right packaging material to protect your cargo

Proper packaging is essential to protect cargo during transport and ensure that it arrives in optimal condition at its final destination. Choosing the right packaging material is essential to ensure product safety and avoid damage during the logistics process.

Knows the type of product

The first step in choosing the right packaging material is to know the type of product to be transported. Some products may be more fragile and require stronger packaging, while others may be lighter and require lighter packaging.

Method of transport and storage

Another important factor to consider when choosing packaging material is the method of transportation and storage to be used. If the cargo is to be transported by truck, airplane or ship, it is important to select a material that is resistant to moisture, temperature changes and sudden movements. On the other hand, if the cargo is to be stored in a warehouse for an extended period of time, it is advisable to use materials that protect against dust and dirt.

Evaluate the size and weight of the load

The size and weight of the load are also determining factors when choosing the right packaging material. If you are shipping large products, it is critical to select packaging that is strong enough to support the weight and size of the cargo.

Sustainability and environmental impact

Nowadays, sustainability and environmental care are fundamental aspects to take into account when selecting packaging material. Opting for environmentally friendly and recyclable materials not only helps to reduce waste generation, but can also improve the company’s image in the eyes of environmentally conscious consumers.

Prioritize material quality and strength

Last but not least, it is essential to prioritize the quality and strength of the packaging material. While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper options, it is important to remember that cargo protection is paramount to avoid potential damage and claims. Investing in quality packaging material can help you save in the long run by reducing the risk of product damage and loss during transport. Therefore, choose materials that are durable, strong and capable of maintaining the integrity of the cargo at all times.

Protecting goods

And finally, something very important, to protect all the goods, beyond their particular packaging. For this purpose, the different Niupack models are adapted to all needs and means of transport.

In which sectors is the Niupack system recommended?

The Niupack system is recommended mainly in the following sectors:

  • FMCG: Including food and beverages, where it is crucial to avoid rolling or tilting of the goods during transport.
  • Electronics: Where product protection is essential to avoid damage during transport.
  • Industry: any type of pallets with boxes, sacks or drums and with a small space between pallets.
  • Each model is designed to address different needs for protection and stability during the transport of goods, ensuring the safety of loads. In addition, Niupack products are made from recyclable and biodegradable material, which reduces the environmental impact compared to non-ecological packaging solutions. We have FSC® and PEFC certifications, which guarantee that the raw material used comes from sustainably managed forests. This ensures that the production of Niupack products does not contribute to deforestation and promotes the responsible management of forest resources, and is an environmentally friendly alternative to other filling methods that may be less sustainable, thus contributing to more responsible transportation.

These benefits make Niupack systems not only effective for the protection of goods, but also a more sustainable option for companies looking to reduce their environmental impact.
