5 The purpose of packing Packing is of great importance in foreign trade. It may be appropriately said that packing is to goods as what clothing is to man. The ultimate purpose of packing is to keep the transported goods in prefect condition with nothing missing on arrival. Good packing must be able to stand the roughest transportation.

6 Needs of Cargo Packaging
Four main reasons: 1.1 Protective function. The inward protective function is intended ensure full retention of the utility value of the packaged goods. The outward protection must prevent any environmental degradation by the goods. The inward and outward protective function primarily places demands upon the strength, resistance and leak-proof properties of transport packaging. 1.2 Loading and transport function Packaging should be designed to be easily handled and to permit space-saving storage and stowage.

7 Needs of Cargo Packaging
1.3 Stowage function The Packaging materials and packaging containers required for producing packages must be stored in many different locations both before packaging of the goods and after the package contents have been used 1.4 Promotion function Cargo packaging may also promote sales if promotion material placed on the packaging is intended to attract the potential purchaser’s attention and to have a positive impact upon the purchasing decision.

8 Two styles of packing Transport packing (outer packing)
——Transport packing is done mainly to keep the goods safe and sound during transportation. It must not only be soiled enough to prevent the packed goods from any damage, but also pilferage-proof, easy to store, convenient to load and unload. Sales packing (inner packing). ——Sales packing is done mainly to push sales.

9 The methods of shipping packing: Single-piece packing/ Collective packing
According to style: cases, drums, bags, bales, bundles, etc. According to material: cartons, wooden cases, iron drums, wooden casks, plastic casks, paper bags, gunny bags, plastic bags, etc.

10 Single-piece packing

11 Collective packing Container Pallet

12 中性包装: ——它是在商品包装上既不注明生产国别、地名和厂名，也不注明原有商标和牌号的包装。 ——中性包装分无牌中性包装和定牌中性包装。其目的是为了打破进口国所实施的关税与非关税壁垒或为了满足买方的特殊需求而采取的措施。

13 Factors influencing types of cargo packing for international consignments:
Nature of cargo Transport Customs or statutory requirements Insurance acceptance conditions Cost Ease of handling and stowage

14 1. Nature of cargo Packaging should be designed according to the need of the cargo. Cargoes like grains, crude oil, ingot aluminum, steel and automobiles are shipped according to the needs of the cargo.

15 2. Transport In addition to the nature of cargo, many other factors in relation to transport should be taken into consideration. To begin with, one should consider the nature of transit-the various types of carriers to be used before the goods arrive at their foreign destination. The cargo measurement is another factor to consider. Lastly, the types of hazard a shipment is likely to encounter.

16 3. Customs or statutory requirements
This is particularly relevant to dangerous cargoes to which strict regulations apply concerning acceptance, packaging, stowage, documentation, marking and carrier liability. It is advisable to obtain a certificate to prove the proper treatment of the packing material.

17 4. Insurance acceptance conditions
Packaging must meet the prescribed packaging specifications for particularly fragile cargoes and cargoes with a bad record of damage and pilferage; otherwise, the insurance company will refuse to cover them or refuse to cover them at a regular rate.

18 6. Ease of handling and stowage
5. Cost Packaging should be economical as well as adequate. 6. Ease of handling and stowage For irregular-shaped cargo, it is especially important to correctly design the packaging to make the handling as easy as possible. The tighter and more secure the packaging, the less likelihood there will be of damage.

19 Areas of Improvement 1. The standards of packaging
2. The utilization of transport capacity 3. Design of cargo packaging 4. The packaging cost

20 Marking Packing must be strikingly marked.
According to the uses of the packing mark, it can be divided into: Shipping mark （运输标志，又称：唛头） Indicative mark（指示性标志） Warning mark（警告性标志） Weight/Volume Marks （重量、体积标志） Original mark （Marks of Origin)（产地标志）

21 what is shipping marks? Conventionally, outer packing marks mainly include transport marks(★运输标志), directive marks(指示性标志) and warning marks(警告性标志). Transport marks consist of 1) consignor‘s or consignee’s code name; 2) number of the contract or the L/C 3) the port of destination; 4) numbers of the packed goods; 5) sometimes weight and dimensions; ——all of which can greatly facilitate identification and transportation. 按照国际标准组织（ISO）建议，为了简化单证，便于用打字机一次做成，运输标志不宜用几何图形。一般包括4行，每行不超过7个字母，包括数字和符号。①收货人或发货人的代号名称；②合同号码或信用证号码；③目的港；④件号、序号。
