Packaging is one of the biggest challenges you face in cargo shipping. The packaging you use affects shipping costs and the safety of your cargo, which can have a huge impact on your bottom line. Protecting goods against moisture, extreme temperature, and contamination can prevent costly cargo damage.
At Eurolog Packing Group, we offer a wide range of packaging solutions to help you protect your cargo and your bottom line. We even offer custom solutions that are tailored to fit your needs. Learn more about how solution driven expert packaging can help you safely ship any cargo.
Packaging is often designed with cost savings in mind, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting the best packaging for your product. Solution driven packaging is designed to address the challenges you face in cargo shipping, including moisture and mold growth, extreme temperatures, and contamination.
Thanks to more than 15 years of experience, we understand the risks of cargo shipping firsthand. That’s why we’ve spent years developing a lineup of shipping solutions that are designed to eliminate common causes of cargo damage — from our Temcore series to our custom solutions.
Whether you’re shipping food and beverages or dangerous chemicals, it’s important to understand how external factors affect your goods. Let’s take a look at some common cargo shipping risks below.
The accumulation of moisture is one of the biggest challenges in shipping. Moisture can be caused by spills and leaks, container rain, and weather. If you allow moisture to collect in a shipping container, it can even lead to mold growth.
Each year, moisture accounts for a significant portion of global cargo damage. According to industry experts, about 10% of goods have to be discarded because of moisture damage.
Preventing moisture damage is especially challenging with global shipping due to changing weather and shipping conditions.
From food to pharmaceuticals, many types of goods are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Since climates vary throughout the world, maintaining stable temperatures can be a challenge with global shipping.
Extreme temperatures can cause food and medication to spoil. Certain chemicals may also react to extreme heat or cold, leading to dangerous reactions inside shipping containers.
Solution driven expert packaging is designed to insulate your cargo, protecting it against extreme temperature swings. Even if you can’t control the weather, you can maintain stable temperatures within your shipping container.
When it comes to global shipping, contamination is a serious concern. Shipping containers and cargo ships may contain a wide range of goods, from hazardous chemicals to consumable goods like food and beverages.
Proper packaging is a crucial part of preventing contamination. Contaminated goods can damage your reputation and result in major losses that affect your bottom line.
Understanding how to safely package various types of goods is essential. You may need to use food-safe packaging that’s airtight and watertight, while some goods may need to be packaged with a desiccant.
At Eurolog Packing Group, we offer a wide range of innovative packaging solutions to prevent contamination.
The cost of cargo damage depends on what you’re shipping and how badly it’s damaged. Since moisture damage is a leading cause of global cargo damage, let’s take a look at how much moisture damage can cost you.
Let’s say you have a shipping container that contains $500,000 in goods. If 10% of the goods in that container are damaged by moisture and you have to discard them, you’re losing out on $50,000. Even a 1% moisture damage rate will result in $5,000 worth of damaged goods.
In more severe cases, moisture damage may affect most or all of the goods in a shipping container. Depending on the value of your shipping container, you could be looking at losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The stakes are even higher when you’re shipping expensive goods like medication, prosthetics, and supplements. To make matters worse, some of these goods are especially susceptible to damage caused by moisture and extreme temperatures.
Cargo damage can also damage your reputation. If you have a contract to supply goods for various companies, those companies might choose another supplier if you can’t deliver on time. Solution driven packaging can help you protect your reputation and your bottom line, eliminating the stress of global shipping.
At Eurolog Packing Group, we’ve spent years developing innovative shipping solutions that help you protect your bottom line. We offer solutions for moisture control, temperature stabilization, preventing contamination, and more.
You can learn more about our innovative shipping solutions below.
Our Hydry series is specially designed to minimize moisture in shipping containers, with several unique products to choose from.
Hybags are desiccant bags that absorb up to three times their weight in moisture, keeping your cargo dry and fresh. If you need maximum absorption in a small package, you can try the Hybag Plus+.
For leaks and spills, the Hypad is ideal. Hypads are absorbent pads that can be placed beneath cargo in a shipping container to absorb leaks and spills. This is the ideal solution if you’re shipping liquids in containers.
The Hyblanket can be draped over cargo or hung from the ceiling of your shipping container to absorb moisture as it forms on the ceiling, preventing costly container rain.
Temcore products are designed to provide insulation to protect against extreme temperatures. If your containers endure extreme cold or heat during their journey, Temcore is the solution.
The Temcore Liner is a reflective liner that helps stabilize temperatures inside shipping containers. These liners are easy to install and reusable, saving you time and money.
Temcore Blankets can be draped over the top of cargo to provide extra insulation inside shipping containers. For maximum protection, you can use Temcore Liners and Blankets together.
Temcore Covers protect palletized cargo from extreme temperatures. Our Temcore Max Cover offers even more protection, holding temperatures to within 1 degree per hour.
If you’re shipping dry bulk goods, our Kratobag series is ideal. Kratobag liners protect dry bulk cargo from contamination and feature separate spouts for loading and emptying.
We have several Kratobag products to choose from, including:
If you need help choosing the right solution driven expert packaging, our experts can help you find the right Kratobag for your needs.

If you need a waterproof lining for your shipping container, you can try Kit Bond Absorbent Lining. Kit Bond provides superior protection against mold and fungus, and it’s hydrophobic so it won’t stick to the damp walls or floors of your shipping container.
When you’re shipping something sensitive to atmospheric agents like dirt and moisture, you can protect it with our Protepack foil insulation products.
Protepack reflective barriers are available in 70 ft. rolls, so you can easily wrap and protect your cargo whether it’s big or small. Protepack is commonly used for cars and motorcycles, furniture, and other large items that are sensitive to dirt and moisture.
