Glass wine bottles are fragile items and are often used for food packaging. Therefore, special attention should be paid to glass bottles during transportation and storage. Nowadays, with the development of economy and technology, transportation has become very convenient. Small items or samples can be delivered by international express air freight, usually in about 5 days; Bulk commodities can be transported by land or sea, and the specific time limit for sea transportation depends on the port, shipping schedule, etc. If you want to inquire about the delivery time of the goods, you can contact us.
After more than ten years of export experience, QLT Packaging Products Co., Ltd. has summarized a set of cost-effective packaging methods. The damage rate of glass bottles exported to countries and regions such as Europe and America is controlled within 1% annually. Assuming you are purchasing a 750ml wine bottle, a large container can hold approximately 50000 bottles. The glass bottles are packaged by us and stored at sea for about 30 days, then transported by land to the customer’s warehouse. The entire process can result in up to 500 damaged bottles. Of course, we will also bear the losses caused by this part of the damage, and we can compensate or compensate you in various ways.
The trays we use are very exquisite:
1. Wood selection: Choose wood that meets international standards, such as pine, spruce, etc., to ensure the stability and durability of the wood.
2. Wood treatment: Preserve, mold, and insect resistant wood to extend the service life of wooden pallets and prevent contamination of goods.
3. Cutting and trimming: Cut and trim the wood according to specifications to ensure that the dimensions and specifications of the pallet comply with international standards.
4. Splicing and fixation: Splice the wood into the shape of a pallet and secure it with nails, screws, etc. to ensure the stability and safety of the pallet.
5. Surface treatment: Sanding, polishing, painting and other surface treatments shall be carried out on wooden pallets to make their surfaces smooth, beautiful, and comply with the hygiene and environmental protection requirements of international trade.
6. Packaging and transportation: Pack wooden pallets and use appropriate transportation methods to ensure that the pallets are not damaged during transportation.
The cardboard box is not a universal cardboard box and is custom-made according to the customer’s choice. It is usually a five layer corrugated paper thickened and hard cardboard box with partitions inside the box, which can separate each bottle separately to avoid friction between the bottle and the bottle during transportation, which can affect the appearance of the bottle. Large gaps between the bottles can cause shaking or impact, leading to bottle damage.
Shipping by sea will use containers, what do most companies do? What else can we do if we ship directly?
We will inform the freight forwarder in advance of the condition of our containers. If they are old or dilapidated, we will directly request replacement. Not all factories have the capability to do so. This way, the containers provided to us will be very new. When the containers arrive at the factory, we will have dedicated collision and quality inspection personnel to further inspect the containers, such as whether there are any damages on the appearance and holes inside. If so, we will contact maintenance personnel for repairs. At the same time, the interior of the container will be cleaned to ensure that the transportation environment for glass bottles is clean and tidy. In order to prevent temperature differences during transportation, we will circulate air inside the container in advance and extend loading and unloading time to ensure that the temperature difference is not particularly large.
Generally speaking, the transportation process accounts for more than 60% of the total order time, and is mostly remotely controlled, especially during the final shipping phase, which is the longest and completely out of control. Without more than ten years of experience in exporting and manufacturing glass bottles, it is easy for serious accidents to occur in these small details of transportation. So after importing glass bottles and safely transporting them to the warehouse, how should they be stored? Please contact us for more valuable information.
