Export Packing

Export Packing Services by UK Shipping Agent & Freight Forwarder Tuscor Lloyds.

Conveniently based in the heart of the UK at the East Midlands Airport, the new warehousing depot is able to handle and package all types of freight for Export Packing and Shipping.

Preparing and packing goods correctly for export is a highly important aspect of international freight shipping. After all, the overseas customer has made a purchase in good faith and expects the shipment will arrive in good condition. Damage to cargo is common in the freight transportation business. If this occurs due to inadequate or poor packaging, the consequences can be severe. The exporter could lose the sale, the goods may be lost or returned damaged, and perhaps the customer will go elsewhere. This is not to mention the potential headache associated with a protracted or complicated insurance claim.

Experience and knowledge is the key to ensuring that the shipment is well protected while keeping the weight, volume and types of packing material to an efficient minimum.

The export packing operation encompasses the following key packaging services:

• Skilled joinery of wood, metal or composite crates
• Palletising, racking
• Vacuum packing
• Heat treatment
• Sealing, cargo marking
• Dunnage and packing
• In accordance with packing regulations in many countries, pre-treated materials can be used as required.

Of course the right facilities must be in place. Tuscor Lloyds has available a 20000 square foot site, with up to 16 tonne lift capacity. Plenty of space and capacity to offer cargo packing, container stuffing, lashing, chocking and securing as preparation for deep sea voyages.
