Transportation packaging
What are Transport Packaging Materials?
Transport packaging refers to specially designed packaging materials that provide optimal protection for goods during transit, ensuring they reach their destination safely. These packaging solutions play a critical role in logistics, shielding products from external factors such as moisture, impact, or temperature fluctuations. Common types of transport packaging include cartons, pallets, crates, and barrels, each tailored to the specific needs of the items being transported. Beyond damage protection, transport packaging offers practical benefits as well: for example, it allows retailers to store and stack products efficiently and facilitates space-saving loading. Well-designed, robust transport packaging helps prevent damage and, in turn, reduces returns, lowering costs and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Specific designs and assemblies ensure transportation packaging is easy and safe to handle when loading, stacking and unloading goods.
-
Optimising transportation
Appropriate transportation packaging helps maximise use of available space in vehicles or containers and this can lead to more efficient transport processes and potential cost savings.
-
Traceability
Transportation packaging can display information such as barcodes, labels or other markings to enable quick identification, traceability and handling of the transport.
-
Sustainability
More and more transportation packaging is being developed with environmental aspects in mind. These include using recyclable materials, reducing the use of materials to minimise waste and decreasing environmental impacts.

Brand presentation
Transportation packaging also presents the brand or your company. By integrating brand elements into the print image, the attention of potential customers is directed towards the company during transportation and this positively influences the brand image.
Transported appropriately: Where is transportation packaging used?
Transportation packaging is often used in the B2B sector as it reliably transports goods between individual trade levels. Its goal is to facilitate handling at the POS and protect products from damage and weather influences. However, some of our packaging solutions are also suitable for presentation in retail outlets.
Transportation packaging and the German Packaging Act
In Germany the Packaging Act (VerpackG) regulates the prevention and recycling of packaging waste. It concerns various types of packaging, including transportation packaging. Manufacturers and distributors who market packaging must register with the LUCID Packaging Register in order to comply with their legal obligations. Registration in LUCID is a prerequisite for participation in the dual system.
What does the Act mean for online shops?
The Packaging Act imposes a reporting and registration obligation on online shops for all packaging containing goods that is sent to end-consumers. In accordance with this legal situation, online shops continuously report their volumes to the LUCID Packaging Register.
