Key risk in seed and fertiliser shipments
Primary concern: bag integrity, moisture exposure and heavy pallet loads need separate attention. Identify the relevant product surfaces, contact points and route conditions before choosing outer protection.
Pack and application choices
Recommended approach: keep sacks on a dry pallet base, protect against rain where required and segregate products according to handling instructions. Keep the closure method and any product-level protection aligned with the actual carton, equipment and handling process.
Checks before dispatch
Practical check: check seam condition, bag punctures, label readability and pallet balance before dispatch. Record the pack configuration and inspect the shipment at dispatch and receipt before changing an approved method.
Request a technical assessment
For “Seed and Fertiliser Dispatch Guide,” share the product and carton dimensions, application method and transport route so the packaging steps can be reviewed against the actual workflow.
