It also aids in inspection, counting, and distribution.

The transport packaging shall meet the following basic requirements:

possess sufficient strength, stiffness, and stability;

It has protective capabilities such as waterproofing, moisture resistance, pest resistance, corrosion resistance, and theft prevention;

The packaging materials selected meet the requirements of economy and safety;

The packaging weight, dimensions, markings, and form shall comply with international and national standards to facilitate handling and loading;

It can reduce the labor intensity of workers and make operations safe and convenient.

The fundamental principles for the design of transport packaging equipment include: standardization and serialization; containerization and large-scale principles; diversification and specialization; scientific principles; ecological principles, among others.
