Publish Time: 2025-09-28 Origin: Site
1、Factors for choosing dimensions: It is essential to consider multiple elements comprehensively. First, package content: The appropriate box size should be determined based on the dimensions and weight of items shipped from China, ensuring the goods are safely accommodated during the long journey to Latin America. Second, available space: Analyze storage areas in China and space in transportation means (ships, planes) to Latin America, and select a size that fits these logistics needs. Third, transportation costs: Different box sizes affect intercontinental shipping costs, so it is necessary to balance box size and transportation expenses to optimize total costs. Finally, regulatory restrictions: Some transportation companies have requirements for allowed box sizes for shipments from China to Latin America, so the service provider’s policies must be followed. Additionally, it is recommended to accurately measure products in China and conduct packaging tests before determining the final box size. STU Supply Chain always advises clients on dimension selection to reduce unnecessary costs in shipments between China and Latin America.
2、Material quality requirements: The quality of the box material is crucial for ensuring the integrity of goods during the long transportation from China to Latin America. Regarding thickness, it is recommended to select boxes with an Edge Crush Test (ECT) rating of at least 32, to ensure sufficient resistance against storage and handling conditions along the route. For water resistance, boxes treated with a coating to resist moisture (during sea transport) or temperature changes (during international flights) are preferred. In terms of durability, boxes made of materials that can withstand the weight of products and possible impacts and movements during transit from China to Latin America should be chosen. The ease of sealing should also be considered: select boxes with reinforced flaps or integrated adhesive tape, designed for secure sealing to prevent damage along the way. Furthermore, it is recommended to use heavy-duty boxes. STU Supply Chain only uses boxes that meet these quality standards to protect goods shipped from China to Latin America.

1、Filling and cushioning: Use filling materials such as bubble wrap or foam to protect items inside the box, preventing them from moving during the long transportation from China to Latin America (especially important for sea shipments with constant movement).
2、Sealing process: Use strong adhesive tape or industrial staples to properly seal the box, preventing the package from accidentally opening during transshipments or handling on international routes.
3、Clear labeling: Clearly mark the recipient’s information (in Latin America) and the sender’s information (in China) on the box, as well as special handling instructions (such as "Fragile" or "Keep Dry") to ensure proper handling throughout the journey.

STU Supply Chain provides a real-time tracking system that allows clients to check the location of their goods at each stage of the intercontinental journey.
