Packaging for export: how Egyptian manufacturers cut damage and shipping costs
Growing exports is one of Egypt's top economic goals, and Egyptian food, textiles, chemicals, furniture and building materials are reaching more markets every year. Packaging is where many of those shipments win or lose.
The problem
Weak cartons collapse when stacked, loads shift during long sea freight, humidity damages goods inside containers, and wrong pallet sizes waste space and trigger rejections at the destination.
Stronger, smarter boxes
Choose the right corrugated board grade (single, double or triple wall) for the stack height and journey. Correctly sized boxes use less filling and fit more units per pallet.
Secure the load
Quality stretch film applied with the right pre-stretch, edge protectors on pallet corners, strapping and buckles, and airbags or dunnage between pallets stop loads from moving.
Fight humidity
Container desiccant bags and moisture barrier liners protect goods on long voyages, especially textiles, paper, metal parts and food.
Use compliant pallets
Heat treated ISPM 15 wooden pallets or plastic pallets avoid customs problems in many importing countries. Check the standard size your market expects.
