Tag: transport modes

A number of factors determine what the best mode of transport is for us. For example, the weight, quantity and value of the goods, the distance to the destination, the budget and the delivery deadline. Moreover, in the 21st century efforts to support sustainable development also play an increasingly important role.

The greatest advantage of road transport is that it’s the only mode of door-to-door transport. However, the shocks and jolts of the vehicle, the sudden acceleration or slowing-down may pose a risk to the integrity of the goods. Ensuring safety, such as the use of padding and filling materials, is also essential in case of rail transport. Learn more about our packaging solutions!
