Shipping & Logistics for Packaging Supply Chains in Asia

Packaging sourcing decisions are incomplete until freight, customs and delivery are considered. Package Asia will organize practical information on parcel, air, ocean and cross-border logistics for buyers sourcing packaging and related products across Asia.

Key logistics layers

Ocean Freight

FCL and LCL options for larger packaging orders and lower-value bulky goods.

Air Freight

Faster transport for samples, urgent replenishment and higher-value components.

Parcel & Courier

Samples, small orders and cross-border e-commerce fulfillment.

Customs & Documentation

Classification, origin, import requirements and shipment documentation.

What affects landed cost

  • Carton size, weight and dimensional efficiency
  • FCL versus LCL shipment size
  • Origin and destination port or airport
  • Incoterms and who controls freight
  • Duty, tax and customs-clearance costs
  • Inland transport and delivery appointments

Packaging is often bulky relative to its unit value, so logistics can materially change the economics of sourcing from another country. Compare landed cost rather than factory price alone.
