Air transport places strict requirements on packaging to ensure the safety of goods in transit. With constraints on weight, strength, and compliance with international regulations, choosing the right type of packaging is essential to preserve the integrity of transported products. NO-NAIL BOXES, a specialist in foldable wooden boxes for industry, offers packaging solutions designed to meet the conditions of air transport while ensuring optimal protection for all types of goods.

Air transport requirements for packaging

Air transport demands packaging that is strong, lightweight, and compliant with safety standards. Here are some key criteria that packaging must meet to be suitable for air freight.
  • Notre engagement client | NO-NAIL BOXES
    Lightweight design

    Weight is a major constraint in air transport, as freight charges are calculated based on the total weight of the cargo. Packaging must therefore be designed to be as light as possible without compromising safety.

  • Sérigraphie | NO-NAIL BOXES
    Resistance to shocks and vibrations

    Cargo is subject to numerous movements and handling operations during loading, the flight itself, and unloading. Packaging must therefore be able to absorb shocks and withstand vibrations.

  • Compliance with international standards

    Goods transported by air often cross multiple borders. Packaging must comply with international standards, such as ISPM 15 for wooden packaging, which ensures the phytosanitary treatment of wood.

  • Ease of handling

    Packaging must be easily stackable and designed for straightforward handling, in order to optimise loading and unloading operations.

  • Protection against temperature variations

    Cargo stored in aircraft holds is exposed to temperature fluctuations that can affect certain sensitive products. Packaging must therefore provide adequate protection against these changes.
