Bulk liquid bags/containers
- A bulk liquid bag can be used to accommodate various types of liquid cargo. When it is not in use, it can be folded to 2% of its volume. It costs about one sixth (1/6) of the price of the steel drum and one quarter (1/4) of the price of the tank container. Each bulk liquid bag can carry a volume of liquid cargo of about 210 litres.
Shrink wrapping
- This is very popular with air freight consignments whether conveyed by air or surface transport. This is a form of packing whereby goods are placed on a base usually a pallet and covered with a film of plastic. This packaging aids handling. It is a relatively cheap form of packaging particularly in relation to timber and fibre board cartons. It gives rigid protection to the cargo and it is widely used.
