Essentials of Goods Packaging in Warehouse Storage Racking System

There are many types of storage racks to choose from, such as heavy duty racks, drive in  racks, mezzanine, steel platforms, shuttle racks, stacker three-dimensional warehouses, multi-layer shuttle racks, and various automated three-dimensional warehouse racks. Those racking system can satisfy various requirements for warehousing in different industries. At the same time, the packaging of warehouse goods is also vital to warehouse management, which may directly affect the entry and exit of goods, the turnover of goods, and the rate of picking.

EBIL TECH has more than 20 years of manufacturing experience and 16 years of design experience in research and development (R&D). It is a well-known high-end intelligent storage equipment supplier in domestic and committed to enterprise automated three-dimensional storage logistics planning and design, system integration, project implementation and after-sales maintenance.

There are many kinds of goods in the warehouse, but in terms of packaging methods, they can be roughly divided into three types: naked, bulk, and packaged goods. Nude packaging means no packaging at all; bulk packaging means a small unit with one packaging; packaging goods are self-packaged and do not need to be repackaged.

What are the factors that need to be considered in the packaging of goods?

How to better package goods and protect them from damage well? We must fully consider the source of damage to the goods. For example, what losses will be caused during storage, and what damages will be caused during transportation.

There are many uncontrollable factors in the transportation of goods, such as squeezing, bumping, falling, etc., as well as changing weather and other factors, which may cause changes in air humidity and content. Can these affect the packaging of the goods? Better protection of cargo is a big challenge. Especially for goods that need to be kept fresh.

But there will be corresponding solutions. For problems such as extrusion and bumping, there are generally several solutions such as filling, fixing, paying attention to the size and weight and loading order. There are also different packaging methods for goods with different characteristics, and filling and fixing are generally used. For goods that need to be kept fresh, vacuum packaging or lower temperature may be used. The packaging of the goods must be strong and stable, otherwise it will easily fall apart during the fabrication process, causing unnecessary losses, and severe cases may cause personal injury.

Packaging Information

The main information provided on the outer packaging is cargo information and operational information.

Operating information is the most common, such as fragile labels, etc. It mainly provides guidance for follow-up operations, knowing what are the operation taboos, or instructing the operator where to pull, where to insert the fork, and where to add hooks. And the logo should be marked in a conspicuous place, the font size and color should also be eye-catching, otherwise it is easy to be overlooked.

In terms of cargo information, for processing or sub-packaging in the warehouse, there are generally fixed formats and fixed standards, such as name, code, and packaging date.
