Buying Guide
Top Materials for Wood-Free Container Load Protection
Buyer shortlist of wood-free export protection materials from China: edge boards, dunnage bags, slip sheets, paper pallets, honeycomb, wrap—and how to RFQ them as a system.
Quick answer
Build wood-free container protection from a shortlist: edge/corner boards, dunnage air bags, slip sheets or paper pallets, honeycomb panels where flat crush matters, plus stretch wrap/strapping. Spec them as one load plan.
Material shortlist
Edge & corner boards — strap and corner impact
Dunnage air bags — voids between cargo and walls
Slip sheets / paper pallets — unit-load bases
Honeycomb pads/panels — surface and compression gaps
Stretch wrap & PP/PET strap — containment
How to RFQ without chaos
Send cargo photos, void dimensions, and handling equipment notes. Ask suppliers to quote a kit, not only the cheapest board length.
Validation
Pilot one lane with install photos and arrival condition. Overinflation and missing edge boards remain top claim drivers.
