This chapter concerns on packaging
and materials handling
Each product has unique physical properties
Determines how and when the product
is packaged
Packaging attributes strongly influence materials
handling concerns
Section 1
Product Characteristics
Product Characteristics
 Product characteristics can
influence packaging and
materials handling
considerations physical
characteristics
 Substances exist in three forms
– solid, liquid, gas – and each
form has specific packaging
requirements.
 The product’s ability to with
stand the elements.
 Product density.
 产品的不同特征会影响
到对产品包装和搬运的
选择。其中之一是产品
的物理特征。
1）物质存在三种形态：固
态、液态、气态，每种形态
都有特殊的包装要求；
2）物质对外界环境的承受
能力；
3）产品的密度。
Product Characteristics
 The physical characteristics of
some goods change while
they are moving in the
logistics channel.
 Fresh fruits and vegetables –
respiration, harvest before
ripe.
 Perishables, such as meats,
fish, yeast and fresh produce
require special packaging,
loading, storage, and
monitoring.
 在物流渠道的移动过程中，一些产品
的物流特性会发生改变。
 (1)例如新鲜的水果和蔬菜。它们采
摘以后仍然会呼吸，释放出气体和水
分并产生热量。通常会在成熟之前采
摘以保证到达零售店时正好成熟。
 (2)鱼、肉、酵母、新鲜农产品等易
腐品需要特殊的包装、装卸、储存和
监控。（如大闸蟹）
 (3)化学性质。快熟和慢熟的水果不
能放在一起。如苹果和熟水果放在一
起的话会让其他水果加快烂的速度。
Product Characteristics
 Chemical Characteristics
 产品的某些化学性质也
 Incompatible products
会影响包装和搬运方式
 Characteristics must be

made known to consumers
不相容的。
 必须让顾客了解产品的
不同特性，以帮助他们
作出正确的购买决定并
正确地保存和使用产品。

Hazardous Cargo
 Explosives 爆炸品
 Compressed gases 压缩气体
 Flammable liquids 可燃液体
 Oxidizers 氧化剂
 Poisons 毒药
 Radioactive materials放射性物质
 Corrosive materials腐蚀性物质
Section 2
Packaging
Packaging
 Building-blocks concept
 Smallest unit is consumer package
 Each unit is stocked within the next larger one to protect the
product
Is it useful
for buildingblocking?
Packaging
 Packaging which refers to materials used for the
containment, protection, handling, delivery, and
presentation of goods.
 Three general functions:
 To Promote
 To protect
 To identify (label)
Packaging
 Promotional functions of Packaging
 For many products customers can examine only the
printing and pictures on closed cartons before making their
choices.
 It would be appropriate to display some advertising on the
outside of the box.
Packaging
 Protective functions of packaging
 Enclose materials
 Restrain materials from undesired movement
 Separate contents to prevent undesired contact
 Cushion contents from outside vibrations and shocks
 Support the weight of identical containers stacked above
 Position the contents to provide maximum protection
 Provide for uniform weight distribution
 Provide exterior surface for labeling
 Be tamperproof
 Be safe for consumers or others

Packaging
 The carriers established different classifications for two
main reasons:
 Packaging specifications determined by product density
encourage shippers to tender loads in densities （同时兼
顾体积和重量）
 Carriers specifications for protective packaging reduce the
likelihood of damage to products while they are being
carried （如：邮局对包裹包装要求）
Packaging
 It is difficult to know exactly how much carrier tariffs
and classifications control shippers’ packaging.
Packaging
 Labeling
 Usually done at the end of the assembly line.
 Avoids accumulating an inventory of preprinted packages.
 When the material is placed into the box, it becomes necessary
to label the box.
 Bar codes are widely used in labeling.
 Not all labels are visible to the naked eye, like RFID labels.
 Many regulations govern the labeling of packaging, including
the labeling of weight, specific contents and instructions for use.
 Labeling regulations differ from country to country.
Packaging
 Labeling Contents
 Batch numbers 批号
 Weight
 Specific contents
 标签内容包括：生产批
号、重量、内含物、使
用说明、通关信息、条
 Instructions for use
形码、智能标签或RFID
 Information to allow passage
标签等内容。
through customs
 One- or two-dimensional bar
codes
 Smart labels or RFID labels

 Figure5-6 : A Handheld Laser Scanner Scanning Labels on a
Pallet Load of Product Sitting in a Warehouse Rack
Packaging
 Package testing and Monitoring
 Vibrations 震动
 Dropping 坠落
 Horizontal impacts 水平冲击
 Compression 挤压
 Overexposure to extreme temperatures or moisture 过度
暴露在极端温度或湿度下
 Rough handling 野蛮搬运
 Figure5-10: Results of Compression Test
Packaging
 A package system requires 3 types of information to design
 Severity of the distribution environment
 Fragility of the product
 Performance characteristics of various cushion materials
Packaging
 Environmental Protection
 Reduce packing materials used
 Use packaging materials that are more environmentally
friendly with recycled content
 Use reusable containers
 Retain or support services that collect used packaging and
recycle it
 Metric System
Section 3
Unit Loads in Materials Handling
Unit Loads in Materials Handling
 Provide efficient yet manageable units
 Basic unit is a pallet or skid
 A unit load is one or more boxes secured to a pallet or skid so
that boxes can be handled by mechanical means
 Unitization describes this type of handling
Unit Loads in Materials Handling
 Advantages
 Additional protection
 Pilferage is discouraged
 More fragile items can be stacked inside the load
 Mechanical devices can be substituted for manual labor
Unit Loads in Materials Handling
 Disadvantages
 Provides large quantity that sometimes is of limited value
to resellers dealing in smaller quantities
 Must use mechanical or automated device to move, which
cost money to purchase or lease
 Lack of standardization in terms of pallet sizes

Unit Loads in Materials Handling
 The unit load platform
 Pallet is the basic unit in unit loading
 Wooden pallets compared to plastic pallets and steel pallets:
 Inexpensive
 Less longevity
 Easy to break and splinter
 Heavier
 Flammable
Unit Loads in Materials Handling
 Slip sheet can be used in place of pallet
 Saves vertical room
 Requires more care when moving
Section 4
Beyond the unit load
Beyond the unit load
 Slight clearances must be maintained between pallets to
allow for the loading and unloading processes.
 Bracing or inflatable dunnage bags are used to fill narrow
empty spaces
 Full Weight capacity——weighing out
 Full Cubic capacity——cube out

points.
 Container: a uniform,
sealed reusable metal box
in which goods are shipped.
Material Handling
 An intermodal container holds the unit
 load
 Interchangeable among rail, truck, and water carriers
 Air carriers usually use irregular shaped containers made
to fit fuselage

materials handling considerations?
 2. What is the building-blocks concept? How is it applied to
the handling of packaged goods?
 3. The chapter describes approximately 10 functions that a
protective package should accomplish. Does every package
have to accomplish every function? Explain.
 4. Discuss the role of labeling in logistics management.
Questions for Discussion and Review

 7. What trade-offs exist between wood, plastic, and steel
pallets?
 8. Discuss the various handling characteristics associated with
bulk cargoes.
