Packaging is a very important factor affecting the quality of transportation. It can be done by the shipper himself or entrusted to a professional packaging company. If it is entrusted to a company, additional fees will be required. The choice of packaging materials depends on the quality of the goods. The purpose is to ensure that the goods are safely protected and supported. Commonly used are wooden boxes, cartons, etc. Different countries have different requirements for wooden boxes. Some countries and regions even require wooden boxes to be fumigated.
