You're paying for container space you don't use — the cartons are full, but the container is still full of air.
The hidden risk
Poor carton sizing and packing density quietly inflate your per-unit freight — the factory ships your cartons, but the empty space still bills you at the full rate.
How to judge
Ask for the carton dimensions, the pieces per carton, and the container utilization — then compare the CBM per unit across your quotes.
What the factory must provide
Carton dimensions, pieces-per-carton, and a packing-density plan aimed at maximizing container fill.
How DONGFAN handles it
DONGFAN engineers carton size and packing density so more of your units fit the same container — the air you were paying to ship, we squeeze out.
