Blocking and bracing iso containers

Matching the packaging approach with the product being shipped and its transportation journey is one of the most important and also the most difficult things about winning in packaging. Well, there are times when crating is unnecessary. In those times, blocking and bracing may be all that is needed. But getting blocking and bracing right is a whole other issue.

Many people think blocking and bracing is something that can be done without much thought or preparation. In fact, though it can be simpler than crating, blocking and bracing requires rigorous planning and expertise in order to make sure that things remain safe and secure. The more the load weighs the more important blocking and bracing becomes, because the more there is that can go wrong. Blocking means preventing the load from moving laterally side-to-side, front-and-back and bracing means preventing the load from moving vertically up-and-down.

Without proper bracing, a load can jump over its blocks. And without proper blocking, the braces will not hold. A heavy object will want to stay moving and will need proportionally more blocking and bracing to prevent it from doing so. All containers are ISO certified for ocean transport and are seaworthy.
