Packaging Requirement
Protection from rough handling: Packaging must be able to withstand a variety of handling and environmental conditions, including those encountered during the inventory, marketing and distribution processes. Improperly designed cartons are more susceptible to collapse under rough handling and high humidity conditions. Stacking strength: Cartons must be designed to withstand the weight of other stacked cartons. Overloading cartons and stacking them beyond their designed limits can cause damage to the cartons and their contents. Protection from moisture loss: Most packages must be able to tolerate exposure to high relative-humidity levels during transportation and marketing. Aiding temperature management: Appropriate vent cartons for chilled cargo promote proper airflow through the container. Cartons should be vented on the top and the bottom to allow air to circulate upwards through the load. |
