Supply Chain Delays Can Damage More That Your Bottom-Line
As consumers, we have all experienced supply chain delays. Whether it was a delayed couch or empty grocery store aisles, we have seen it all over the last two years. As consumers, this breakdown can be annoying. However, as manufacturers or logistic companies, this breakdown can cost you big time!
Ports all across North America are facing massive delays that continue to get worse. Large cargo ships that are making an already long trip across the ocean of 2-3 weeks are then forced to wait just as long at the port. If you are shipping items that are susceptible to corrosion, these delays could be catastrophic, not only for your shipments but also for your wallets.
In some ports, berthing delays can up to two and a half weeks or even longer. A shortage in labor, track drivers, chassis and overall space has led to these long wait times, and therefore the opportunity for catastrophe. Your products should be protected no matter how long they have to wait at sea, in storage or transport.
How Can We Help You?
This is where 3D Barrier Bags, Inc can help. Since our packaging is made from high barrier foil, we can protect your products with the lowest known transmission rates of any flexible materials. For instance, if you are shipping a large turbine from the Savanah, GA port to the UK, your container could be at sea for 4 to 6 weeks. This is largely due to the shortage of ships. These ships have to make up for the shortage by stopping at other ports along the way, with berthing delays. Once the ship makes it to its final destination, it will again have to wait to be unloaded before your product takes its final journey to the site (this could be another week or two). Taking the journey from 2-3 weeks all the way to 8-9 weeks!
Our box bag design coupled with the properly calculated amount of desiccant will guarantee your product or machine’s protection throughout its long journey. We calculate the desiccant amount for the climate, size of the bag as well as the maximum time in months of transit and storage. 3D Barrier Bags, Inc is here to help take the worry of corrosion and moisture damage off of you. We offer you completely customizable packaging made from high barrier foil and no minimum order quantities.
