What do glass bottles need to pay attention to in transport?

12-11-2023

Special attention should be paid to the transportation of glass bottles, as glass is relatively fragile and prone to breakage. Here are some suggestions to ensure that glass bottles arrive safely at their destination during transportation:

Selection of packaging materials: use high-quality packaging materials, such as foam, bubble film and cardboard. Ensure that the packaging is thick enough to absorb or cushion external impacts.

Appropriate inner packaging: Add appropriate inner packaging inside the glass bottle, such as cardboard separation, to prevent direct contact between the bottles. This helps to reduce damage caused by collisions during transportation.

Sealed packaging: Ensure that the packaging around the glass bottle is completely sealed to prevent external moisture, outdoor environment, or other elements from affecting the contents of the bottle.

Appropriate labeling: Mark the packaging with “fragile” or similar markings to remind transport personnel to handle with care. In addition, the direction of packaging can be indicated to ensure proper placement during transportation.

Maintain stability: Arrange the glass bottle firmly in the packaging to prevent shaking or tilting during transportation. Ensure that there is no space for the bottle to move back and forth.

Choose reliable transportation methods: If possible, choose transportation services that specialize in transporting fragile items. These services typically provide more cautious handling and additional protection.


Insurance: Consider purchasing appropriate transportation insurance to protect the value of goods in unpredictable situations.

Compliance: Adhere to national and international transportation regulations to ensure that the packaging and transportation of glass bottles comply with regulations and standards.

Transportation temperature: Ensure transportation within the appropriate temperature range, especially for certain types of liquids, to prevent pressure changes in the bottle caused by temperature changes.

Inspection during acceptance: When receiving goods, carefully inspect to ensure that the bottles are not damaged. If any damage is found, promptly contact the transportation company for compensation.

Please note that these suggestions may need to be adjusted according to specific circumstances, especially as there may be different regulations and standards in different countries and regions. Before transporting glass bottles, it is best to communicate with the shipping company to understand their specific requirements and suggestions.
