Corrugated cardboard and paper are materials for which special care should be taken when transporting them. Why? These are materials with hygroscopic properties, that is, they absorb and adsorb water molecules from the environment.
Material with such properties can shrink, wrinkle or even change the color of the texture when in contact with water. Paper is also damaged by dirt, dust, light and mechanical damage, such as compression, impact and friction.
So what should be kept in mind during transportation so that such delicate cargo reaches its destination whole and undamaged? At Imex Logistics, we pay special attention to:
- Protection from moisture, especially during rainy weather or when transporting through damp areas.
- Protection from mechanical damage - the goods we pick up from the customer are usually properly protected by using special pallets, bubble wrap and air bags. Our Drivers, on the other hand, are trained on how to handle material susceptible to this type of damage.
- Providing adequate ventilation to avoid condensation on the surface of the material.
Taking care of these few factors will ensure that your cargo arrives in its entirety, without the slightest damage. Even when the harshest conditions are on the way.
