Beyond the Crate: What Every Breakbulk Professional Should Know About Export Packing

Export packing is often one of the most overlooked parts of planning an international shipment, yet the way cargo is prepared can directly impact handling, transportation, cost, and ultimately whether it arrives safely at its destination. “Beyond the Crate: What Every Breakbulk Professional Should Know About Export Packing” is an interactive workshop that takes participants behind the scenes of preparing breakbulk and project cargo for international transportation.

Attendees will learn how cargo characteristics, dimensions and weight, lifting and handling requirements, transportation mode, environmental exposure, and moisture and corrosion risks influence packing decisions. Participants will also explore common export packing methods, including skidding, crating, blocking and bracing, and protective barriers, while learning what information should be provided when requesting packing services.

Through real-world cargo examples, attendees will be challenged to “think like an export packer” and determine how they would approach different packing scenarios. Participants will leave better equipped to identify potential issues, ask the right questions, and make more informed decisions when planning international shipments.
