Freight on Your Schedule
Shipping for the plastics industry is typically straightforward, thanks to the material's ease of handling, loading, and unloading. Most plastic products are transported in dry vans, though some cases may require refrigerated trailers (reefers). Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery is often crucial for plastics shipping, making punctuality a top priority.

Challenges in Plastics Shipping
Plastics shipping comes with distinct challenges related to product variety, demand, and regulations:
1. Seasonal Demand:
Industries like packaging, automotive, and consumer goods experience spikes in demand, particularly before holidays or during manufacturing peaks. This requires adaptable logistics planning to meet production needs.
2. Variety of Transport Modes:
Plastics come in different forms, from resin pellets to large finished products like containers or auto parts. Depending on the shipment type, dry vans, flatbeds, or temperature-controlled transport may be necessary.
3. Regulatory Compliance:
For hazardous or chemical-based plastics, strict safety and environmental regulations must be followed. Proper handling, labeling, and transportation are critical to avoid penalties and ensure safe delivery.
4. Risk Management:
Plastics can be affected by extreme temperatures, impacting quality. Ensuring compliance with safety standards helps protect shipments from damage, contamination, or regulatory issues during transit.
