Packaging for Automotive and Machinery Parts
These loads are dense and irregular. The packaging job is to turn a mixed set of parts boxes into one stable unit that survives forklift handling and container transit.
The problem
Parts cargo is heavy for its footprint and often mixed on one pallet, which makes unitizing the load and reinforcing the edges the priority rather than replacing the pallet.
What matters here
Specification Points for This Cargo
Dense, irregular loads
Mixed parts boxes can settle unevenly. A tier sheet provides a flat interface so each layer has an even base.
Rigid edge reinforcement
High-strength profiles are specified for heavy parts boxes where standard grades would crush under strapping.
Unitizing mixed cargo
Corner protectors used with strapping can help unitize loose boxes for forklift and container handling.
Wood-free alternative
Paper profiles can provide a wood-free alternative to timber edge protection for suitable loads.
Specification
Typical Specification for This Cargo
A starting point, not a fixed answer. Final values are confirmed against your own load before quotation.
| Item | Guidance for this cargo |
|---|---|
| Tier sheet thickness | 2–3 mm where mixed parts boxes rest on the sheet, so the layer does not settle unevenly. |
| Profile grade | High-strength laminated kraft for heavy parts boxes; standard grades are not specified for this cargo. |
| Sheet size | Cut to the pallet footprint so mixed box sizes all sit on a continuous flat base. |
| Unitizing | Corner protectors on all four vertical edges plus strapping is what turns loose boxes into one handled unit. |
| What to send us | Heaviest box weight, boxes per layer, layer count, pallet size, and current strapping method. |
