In modern industry, ways to packing goods properly and correctly, ensuring product safety is still not given much attention. Packaging is an important part of the supply chain that determines how a product is viewed, received, and remains safe during distribution. Therefore, it is important to look at ways to packing goods properly and correctly so that they are safe and not easily damaged.
10 Ways to Pack Items Properly & Correctly in Accordance with SOPs!
To ensure product safety during shipping, here are ten ways to pack items properly:
1. Use Packaging That Suits Your Needs
For heavy or fragile items, be sure to choose sturdy cardboard boxes or containers with at least five layers. Successful packaging depends on good packaging.
2. Choose the Right Packaging Size
Make sure it is not too big or too small, as both can cause the goods to shift inside the packaging. The right size prevents damage inside.
3. Use Additional Protection
If your product needs bubble wrap, styrofoam, or foam padding, add them inside the packaging. Shock absorbers are very important for technical, electronic, and other products.
4. Protect the Edges and Corners of the Packaging
The edges and corners of the packaging are the most vulnerable or easily damaged parts. Therefore, you can use tape around the edges and corners of the packaging.
5. Utilize Empty Space by Filling It
To prevent items from moving when shaken and to avoid unwanted collisions or damage to the product, fill the empty space with shredded paper, sponge sheets, or packing peanuts.
6. Use the Right Tape
Ensure that the H-Tape technique is applied so that all sides are tightly sealed. Make sure there are no open joints or air gaps. Also, ensure that the size and material of the tape used are appropriate for its function.
7. Label for Handling
Attach stickers such as “Fragile” or “This Side Up,” as well as complete sender and recipient address information. This is useful so that when the product is shipped, the shipping/courier company can access this information.
8. Protect from Weather and Water
If the product is sensitive to temperature and humidity, use a protective plastic layer, silica gel, or dry wrap. This is useful to ensure that the product does not suffer damage or defects during shipping.
9. Meet Logistics Requirements
Ensure that the packaging meets shipping requirements, such as packaging type, maximum weight, etc. This can be anticipated by inquiring about the requirements with the shipping company in advance.
10. Use Automation Machines
Currently, many industries are switching to automation systems to make production processes more efficient and reduce production costs. An example of automation machines in the field of packing is the friction feeder machine, such as the Light Feeder from Solo Abadi.
