The importance of export packaging (II) Palletisation

2min read 05/12/2014

With the containers chosen and the product conditioned inside them for transport, the next step is palletising. Wood fibre pallets and high-pressure moulded aminorresins eliminate the risks of raw wood (pest infestation, for example) and allow export to any destination, making them an ideal solution for our exports. Rajapack pallets in European or American format support loads of up to 900 kg. and a temperature range of -65º to 120º. The design of our pallets facilitates shrink wrapping, as they do not contain nails or angles that could tear the film

  • If you are going to use boxes of different sizes when placing goods on pallets, it is recommended to start with the smallest and finish with the largest, so that the angles of the base boxes distribute the weight of the top boxes evenly.
  • The use of corrugatedcardboard separators between products inside the boxes or containers and the use of protection on the sides and corners will prevent deformation of the goods.

finally, we must choose the right film so that the pallet is perfectly preserved during the journey, whether by land, sea or air

  • The weight and shape of the pallet will determine the thickness of the film, for example, a thickness of 17 microns withstands loads of up to 500 kg, while with 30 microns we can support loads of 800 kg or more.
  • With manual pre-stretched film we can save time or, if required, stretch film can be used with stretch wrapping/stretch wrapping machines.

  • Using coloured film helps to quickly identify the pallets.

  • There are times when, due to the type of product or the type of box, it is not necessary to use film, in which case the load can be strapped. Polypropylene strapping is recommended for light loads and polyester for heavy and/or compact loads or long-term outdoor storage, and textile strapping for heterogeneous, fragile and/or heavy loads.

at Rajapack you can find everything you need for the packaging of your exports and, if you wish, we can provide you with advice so that you can choose the right one depending on the product you wish to transport.
