Seaworthy packaging offers a solution for transport by water. When goods are transported by sea, there is a considerable risk of those goods being damaged by weather conditions. For example, goods made of metal and not treated against rust have a high risk of corrosion. Therefore, seaworthy packaging is not an unnecessary luxury and can be realised in various ways.
In many cases, sea freight cases are used in waterborne transport. These wooden transport boxes provide optimal protection for your goods during transport. Sea freight cases can be custom-made if required and can also be fitted with various components to make transport easier. Think for example of handles or hinges. In addition, we can also package a sea freight case seaworthy, preventing damp from reaching the object. To achieve this, foam, plastic or specific paper or film is applied to the inside of the case. Bode Packaging uses wood that has undergone ISPM15 treatment at all times. This ensures that no organisms travel with your goods during transport.
In addition to wooden formwork as seaworthy packaging, it is also possible to use shrink film. Shrink film is heated and then stretched tightly along the object in question. The film then acts as a protective cover for the object, protecting it from weather and other dirt. In addition, it is possible to apply VCI foil to the film so that damp is dispelled from the shrink film.
When goods are transported by water, it is important to properly secure this cargo. Bode Packaging is a specialist in lashing and securing and with our experience, we can seaworthily secure all types of goods. We can secure containers, cases, pallets, flat racks and many other goods. We secure the goods with lashing straps and, if required, we can also have the goods covered with tarpaulins.
