Foreign packaging standards for agricultural products, especially for cartons. It mainly refers to the two standards of EU FEFCO and US FBA. Both of them have something in common, hoping to give a reference to domestic fruit and vegetable enterprises and agricultural product packaging box suppliers.
The size of the bottom of the outer packing box is mainly 600 * 400mm; 400 * 300mm; 300 * 200mm; 500 * 300mm; the size standard can achieve the optimal full load ratio on the pallet. It can also realize mixed palletizing between different sizes, which is conducive to sorting and stowing before different products and logistics links.
The loss of foreign agricultural products is very low, which is related to the form of packaging and logistics to a large extent. In the process of logistics, the open box is conducive to the cold air efficiency of the refrigerator car, the heat emission of fruits and vegetables, and the ripening effect caused by ethylene produced by fruits and vegetables. Therefore, most of the fruit and vegetable packaging outside the box, mostly using open box structure.
Some people may ask, how to solve the problem of 5 kg, 8 kg different packaging weight? The above two standards are based on the basic box bottom size and realized by improving the box height. The same box type can also be used to pack different products, for example, peaches and watermelons can be packed with plaform. For fruits and vegetables of different sizes, it is also based on the standard box bottom size to meet the requirements by improving the height of the carton. With the increase of packaging carton cost, logistics automation and labor cost, open box is not only used in fruits and vegetables products, but also more and more widely used in other products packaging.
With the rapid development of domestic e-commerce, is open box packaging still in line with the packaging trend? The open box packaging can meet the logistics requirements of e-commerce by adjusting the structure and adopting the form of cover box (heaven and earth cover), and the compressive strength is better to avoid over packaging.
With the concept of "new retail", Ma Yun announced that traditional e-commerce needs to transform to new retail. Open box packaging is more in line with the new retail characteristics: green environmental protection, logistics automation, reducing human intervention, reducing loss, improving consumer experience and so on. There will be new development and innovation in the new open box packaging in China.
