What a Container Does to a Pack: Notes for Chennai Auto and Export Units

Chennai ships a lot of its output in containers, and a container is hard on a pack. Weeks of vibration, heat and humidity will find every weak tape line and loose strap.

Film and strap together

For export pallets, stretch film holds the load as one unit and PP strapping stops cartons from shifting. Using both is common for auto parts and electronics.

Auto and electronics, inland

The Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belts ship parts to OEMs within India too. Here the focus is on:

  • Fast, repeatable strapping on returnable packs
  • Carton sealers for small-parts boxes
  • Pallet trucks and stackers to move loads

Marks that survive a port

Labels and shipping marks should stay readable after handling and humidity. Wrap over labels or place them on a dry, flat face.

Humidity on your own floor

Store film and tape away from damp walls and use them in order of arrival so adhesive stays fresh.
