Glass Bottle & Glassware Export Logistics

Glass breaks during handling and in heavy seas. When it does, the loss usually lands on the shipper.

Glass is dense and billed on weight. Heavy cargo also constrains container loading and cannot be mixed with volumetric cargo.

Standard cargo policies exclude fragile goods or carry high deductibles, and proving the claim is slow and difficult.

Poor stacking in warehousing and transhipment deforms bottom cartons and the contents break.

Five-ply corrugated cartons with EPE foam dividers and individually sleeved bottles, drop-tested to 1.2m.

Whole-pallet stretch wrap, corner boards and strapping reduce handling touches and the human error that comes with them.

Access to cargo cover that includes breakage, with a low deductible and simplified claim documentation.

Cartons marked fragile and handled accordingly; forklifts fitted with padded clamps to prevent rough handling.

The entire loading process is photographed and filmed and kept on file as evidence if a claim arises.
