As we all know, travelling by road, rail, air or sea is not a perfectly smooth ride - all the little bumps and vibrations will jostle your freight around with the potential to cause damage. But with correct packaging, damage to your freight can be minimized.
The real cost of damages is much higher than you may first think to include replacing goods and time lost to arrange replacements.
Most companies ship their products in standard corrugated boxes with 1 lining because they want to save money. The outcome? Damaged and opened boxes arrive at the customer.
This is how Kingly does it: Double corrugated boxes, strapped. The difference?The goods will always arrive to the customer in pristine condition.Additionally the strapping will ensure the contents will not be tampered with.
Improve your packaging
Take some time to look at your current packaging. Can you make any changes to what you are currently doing? Talk to your freight forwarder and see if they can suggest any other improvements. Correctly packaging your freight will prevent damage, save you money and prevent injury.
Our number one objective is to ‘deliver our customers freight on time, every time, complete and damage free’.
