Preface to Packaging and Transportation

Packaging is not merely about enclosing products; it is a comprehensive safeguard. The choice of packaging materials is of great significance. Corrugated cartons are widely used due to their good balance between cost and protection. For high - end or long - distance transported clothing, more robust options like crate boxes and wooden boxes are employed to ensure the products remain intact. Plastic bags, with their various forms such as flat bags, rectangular bags, and hanging bags, are also essential in different packaging scenarios. Additionally, supplementary materials like bubble wrap and air pillows provide extra protection against damage during handling and transit.


Selection of Packaging Materials

• Cartons: Corrugated cartons are commonly used. For some high - end clothing that needs to be protected from pressure and for clothing that is transported over long distances, more sturdy crate boxes and wooden boxes can be used. In addition, airplane boxes are also quite commonly used. For example, in some foreign trade e - commerce, they come in various specifications and are mostly made of corrugated cardboard.
• Plastic Bags: Bag packaging is widely used, and the main material is plastic bags. Some plastic bags are required to have air holes. The plastic bags used for folded packaging include flat bags, rectangular bags, self - opening bags, schoolbag - shaped bags, etc.; the hanging bags used for hanging packaging should have hanger holes at the top and the opening at the bottom.
• Other Materials: Bubble wrap, air pillows, kraft paper and other materials can also be used to protect the clothing, preventing friction and extrusion during transportation.

Packaging Methods

• Cartoning Packaging: After the clothing is placed in the inner box, it is put into a large outer box (usually a corrugated carton). The cartoning methods include packaging with the same color and size (clothing of the same color and size is packed into the same carton), packaging with the same color and mixed sizes (clothing of different sizes but the same color is packed into the same carton), and packaging with mixed colors and sizes (clothing of different colors and sizes is packed into the same carton).
• Hanging Packaging: The finished products are hung in the cabinet in the way specified by the customer during delivery. This method can save the materials of inner and outer boxes, adhesive tape, packaging costs and labor costs for cartoning. It can also keep the appearance of the finished products clean and beautiful, and customers do not need to spend extra time on sorting after receiving the goods.
• Folded Packaging: It is the most commonly used packaging method. When folding, the distinctive features of the clothing, the key parts of the style, especially the clothing tags, should be displayed in a visible position. The folding should be flat and smooth. According to different types of clothing, the number of folds should be reduced respectively to minimize the ironing work for consumers after disassembly. To prevent loosening, safety pins or plastic clips should be used to fix at appropriate positions. To prevent the product from deforming, cardboard can be used as a lining. After folding, it can be put into the corresponding packaging bags or boxes.
• Vacuum Packaging: After the clothing is put into a closed plastic bag, the air in the bag and the clothing is removed, and then the bag mouth is sealed. This method can reduce the volume of the clothing, reduce the weight of the clothing, and facilitate storage and transportation. It is especially suitable for bulky and fluffy cotton and fleece clothing.

Selection of Transportation Modes

• Air Transportation: It is fast, making it suitable for transporting some high - profit and lightweight clothing items, such as summer fashion clothing. However, the freight cost is relatively high.
• Maritime Transportation: It has a large transportation capacity and low freight cost, making it suitable for transporting large - volume and bulky clothing, like thick winter clothing. Nevertheless, the transportation time is relatively long, which may take several weeks.
• Land Transportation: It is commonly used in foreign trade transportation between adjacent countries. The cost is relatively moderate. The transportation time is shorter than that of maritime transportation but longer than that of air transportation. It can be considered for clothing transportation with less strict time - limit requirements.
• International Express: Such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc. It is fast and provides good service, but the cost is high. It is suitable for transporting small - batch and urgent clothing.
