Shipping and Freight for Packaging Orders

Overview
Packaging is bulky relative to its value, so freight strategy belongs in the design conversation rather than at the end of the project. We help buyers choose between assembled and flat-pack delivery based on their fulfilment line and the cube rate they are paying.
We document the agreed approach on the dieline or the quotation, not in a separate note.
Incoterms and Booking
EXW and FOB Shenzhen/Yantian are standard; CIF, DAP or DDP can be quoted with a nominated forwarder. We coordinate booking, handover and documentation with whichever party controls the freight.
- EXW and FOB Shenzhen/Yantian by default
- CIF, DAP or DDP quoted on request
- Works with your nominated forwarder
- Booking confirmed against production finish date
Buyers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil rely on this because it removes ambiguity at the quotation stage.
Packing for Transit
Cartons are packed to a declared count, corner-protected and palletised where volume warrants, with ISPM 15 treated pallets for markets that require them. Per-SKU carton marking and a photographed packing list make receiving and put-away straightforward.
- Declared carton counts and corner protection
- ISPM 15 treated pallets where required
- Per-SKU carton and pallet labelling
- Pre-dispatch photo pack
All of this is confirmed in writing before a deposit is requested.
Mode Selection
Sea freight suits planned seasonal programmes; air and express suit launches, samples and urgent replenishment. Flat-pack structures and right-sized cartons cut volumetric weight on air freight and container cube on sea freight.
- FCL and LCL sea freight
- Air freight and express courier
- Flat-pack structures to reduce cube
- Consolidated multi-SKU containers
