Detailed explanation of the process of cross-border product packaging and shipment and overseas warehouse packaging and delivery
In the field of cross-border e-commerce, packaging and shipping is not only an important part of the product sales process, but also a key link that directly affects customer experience and seller costs. Whether it is choosing suitable product packaging materials, controlling packaging weight gain, or improving packaging efficiency, sellers need to carefully consider it.
Selection of packaging materials
When selecting packaging materials, you need to consider the characteristics of the product, such as whether it is corrosive, volatile, or needs to be stored away from light. Packaging materials should have certain strength, toughness and elasticity to adapt to the influence of pressure, impact, vibration and other external factors. In addition, different packaging materials need to be selected according to the grade of the product. High-end products or precision instruments should choose packaging materials that are beautiful and have excellent performance.
In order to reduce the impact on the environment, it is recommended to choose materials that are widely sourced, convenient to obtain, low in cost, recyclable, degradable, and non-polluting in processing. For example, when packing fragile items, a distance of 2 cm should be left between the items and the carton and fully filled with soft filling; while for easily dissolvable items, they need to be packed into completely sealed containers.
Control packaging weight gain
International shipping charges are usually based on 0.5kg as a weight unit, so it is very important to control the weight gain of packaging. Under normal circumstances, the weight gain of products after packaging should be controlled within 10% to 20%. If additional re-weighting costs are incurred due to a large increase in packaging weight, you can consider changing packaging materials, reducing the weight of the filling in the packaging, or choosing other logistics methods to control logistics costs.
Improve packaging efficiency
Packaging efficiency directly affects labor costs and delivery timeliness, and is an important performance for sellers to improve service quality. Commonly used tools to improve packaging efficiency include label printers, weighing scales and code scanners. Label printers are suitable for quickly printing labels in batches; weighing scales should be given priority to models with USB input functions so that the weight can be directly input into the ERP system; code scanners can be used in conjunction with the ERP system to facilitate tracking of the status of goods.
Overseas warehouse packaging and delivery process
The overseas warehouse packing and shipping process mainly includes review, packaging, printing, labeling, weighing and other links. In the packaging process, the “three-dimensional packing” optimal packaging algorithm can be used to comprehensively calculate the placement of goods from aspects such as quantity, weight, and volume. In order to improve efficiency, hot-selling items can be packaged in advance and the package volume can be controlled. If an abnormality occurs when the product is shipped out of the warehouse, it must be placed in the abnormal area for manual processing.
Conclusion
To sum up, the process of packaging and shipping cross-border goods and packaging and shipping from overseas warehouses requires sellers to pay attention to details. From packaging material selection to controlling packaging weight gain to improving packaging efficiency, every link is crucial. . Only by doing twice the result with half the effort can we stand out in the fierce market competition.
