It mainly ships groceries, and is usually used to ship stationery, daily necessities, textiles, handicrafts, chemical products, Wujinjiaodian, electronic machinery, instruments and machine parts. Such containers account for 70%-80% of the total number of containers.


In addition to the door of the bulk shipping containers, there are 2 to 3 loading ports on the top of the box, which are suitable for loading powder or granular goods. When in use, keep the inside of the box clean and smooth on both sides to facilitate the unloading of goods from the box door. Using this kind of container can save a lot of packaging costs, reduce the damage of dust to the human body and the environment, and also improve loading and unloading efficiency and reduce logistics costs.
