Packing
Good packing is what stands between your goods and a bad journey.
Our warehouse team has packed just about everything that Bali exports. Furniture, handicrafts, wooden carvings, stone statues, motorcycles, knocked-down houses, food products, and cars. Each one needs a different approach, and knowing the difference is most of the job.
How we do it
We start by looking at what you’re shipping and choosing materials accordingly. Fragile pieces get bubble wrap, foam lining, and corner reinforcement. Bulky or irregular cargo goes into custom wooden crates, built to size in our workshop with internal bracing shaped around the object. Goods sensitive to humidity travel with silica gel sachets and moisture absorbers sealed inside. Items that need strapping down get polypropylene sacking and rope binding as a final layer.
For heavy loads, we have a forklift on site. If your goods require handling at your supplier’s location before they reach us, we can assist in arranging that as well.
We keep all these materials in stock, so there’s no waiting around while we source something.
ISPM 15 note
Wooden packaging and ISPM 15: when your shipment requires wooden crating, we use ISPM 15 certified timber and handle the certification ourselves. More detail on what that involves is on the Fumigation page.
Volume
The volume we quote is always the volume of your goods once packed, not before. Packaging adds size, sometimes more than you’d expect. If you need to estimate CBM for your shipment, our volume calculator walks you through it.
