EXPORT PACKAGING OF HIGHTECH MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

Whether fluctuations of temperature and air humidity, vibrations, salt water, dirt or dust are concerned – sensitive high-tech export goods are subjected to many damaging environmental impacts before they reach their destination. FRAPACK GmbH specialises in secure export packaging for unit loads and heavy cargoes, in particular machinery, equipment and technical components, but also works of art, optical appliances and medical technology are treated with utmost care.

FULL SERVICE FOR PACKAGING, STORAGE AND LOGISTICS

Depending on the requirement FRAPACK GmbH selects bespoke wooden crates, folding boxes or transport bases made in-house in accordance with the relevant packaging directives and import regulations such as the HPE-Standard or ISPM 15 Standard. In this connection we, of course, always keep an eye on the economic and ecological balance. The packaging solutions are as low weight as possible and at the same time stable, resource conserving, efficient as far as loading and load securing is concerned; they offer optimum corrosion protection and withstand even the roughest handling conditions.

Put the cover on it and that’s it? Far from it! In order to ensure that highly sensitive export goods arrive at their destination safely and quickly we take over the entire project planning (link under “Project Planning”) – starting with the statics calculation, the selection of the packaging mean, the proper conservation and deadline monitoring, preparation of freight documents as well as customs clearance. In addition thereto FRAPACK GmbH provides all transport services and takes care of the interim or long-term storage.

FRAPACK GMBH: PROVIDER OF FORWARDING AND LOGISTICS SERVICES

The internationalisation of the movement of goods poses new challenges for the export economy every day. On route to countries overseas a container or package will not only cross several borders and reloading points but also changes the means of transportation several times before it arrives at its destination. Whether by using its own vehicle fleet or by cooperating with transportation companies, FRAPACK GmbH ensures timely and secure logistics be it in connection with truck transport, heavy goods transport, air cargo transport, transport by sea, special transport, barge transport, rail transport or container transport.

ON THE SAFE SIDE WITH TRANSPORT STUDIES

Of course we always keep an eye on cost development when planning routes and selecting forwarders and means of transportation. In order to avoid delays at all times because of narrow roads, low thoroughfares or transport weight limits, we prepare a detailed transport study ahead of time, particularly in case of special transports and heavy goods transports.

STATUS AS REGULATED AGENT SAVES TIME AND MONEY

Since the year 2006 air cargo cannot be loaded without security inspection unless the provider of the packaging and logistics has the status of a regulated agent. The requirements concerning building security, reliability of the employees and the amount of training they received are high and are subject to constant monitoring. FRAPACK Nuremberg has been approved as regulated agent by the Luftfahrtbundesamt (LBA – Federal Office of Civil Aeronautics). Consequently our customers enjoy the advantage that their shipments are loaded faster and at a lower cost.
