Before glass bottle production, we consider every detail in the import process for our customers. For example, regarding packaging, we communicate with our customers to determine which packaging method to use. If we use pallets with cartons or direct pallet packaging, we will ask the customer if there are any requirements for the stacking height of the pallet. The height of a short pallet is about 1.5 meters, while the height of a tall pallet is generally within 1.5 meters. There may be some variations depending on the height of the bottles.
The stacking height directly affects the floor space occupied by the bottles in the warehouse and the ease of use. Shorter pallets are more convenient to use but occupy more floor space. Higher pallets may not be as convenient to use at first but save warehouse space.
In some countries where labor costs are cheap, some importers may choose carton packaging without pallets. After arriving at the destination warehouse, workers would manually unload and stack the boxes neatly in the warehouse. The advantage of this approach is that it increases the container loading rate and maximizes the container space, reducing the transportation cost of the bottles. The disadvantage is that it requires manual labor and is time-consuming.
Regardless of the packaging method used, some measures should be taken to store imported glass bottles to ensure their quality and safety after transportation to the warehouse. Specifically, the following points should be considered:
- Smooth and dry ground: To avoid damage or tipping of the bottles, ensure that the storage ground is smooth and dry.
- Avoid direct sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight on the bottles. The refraction of light in glass bottles, under certain angles and light intensities, can ignite a fire.
- Avoid humid environments: The cardboard boxes of glass bottles are prone to absorb water and become damp, so they should not be stored in a humid environment. Otherwise, the cardboard boxes of the bottles may become damp, deformed, or moldy.
- Pay attention to temperature: Pay attention to the temperature of the storage environment. Store the bottles at room temperature and avoid storing them in extremely cold or hot environments. If the glass bottles are too cold or hot, they may crack during the subsequent cleaning or filling process due to a large temperature difference.
- Stack securely: Ensure that the bottles are stacked securely and not overlapped during storage to avoid damage to the bottles.
- Regular cleaning: Regularly clean the warehouse where the bottles are stored to prevent dust, debris, and other contaminants that may damage the bottles.
