A lot of people think packaging is just a box around a product. In reality, packaging affects: • protection • handling • transport efficiency • storage • information flow • customer experience • and cost In this video, we explain the basics of packaging in logistics before going deeper into mode-specific packaging later. You’ll learn: • what packaging really is in logistics • the difference between product packaging and transport packaging • the 5 core functions of packaging • the main packaging levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary • what good packaging needs to balance • why packaging must match the transport journey • and what the most common packaging mistakes are This episode is useful for: • logistics beginners • e-commerce brands • importers and exporters • warehouse and fulfillment teams • product businesses • anyone who wants to understand packaging before going deeper into parcel, air, road, or ocean packaging Topics covered in this episode: 00:00 Why packaging is more than just a box 00:20 Introduction 00:45 What packaging really is in logistics 01:35 Product packaging vs transport packaging 02:25 The core functions of packaging 03:25 The common packaging levels 04:20 What good packaging must balance 05:20 Why packaging must match the transport journey 06:15 The biggest packaging mistakes 07:15 What this means for businesses 08:10 Final takeaway Subscribe to The Logistics Channel for practical videos about: • packaging • logistics basics • courier delivery • air freight • ocean freight • fulfillment • supply chain education #packaging #logistics #shipping #supplychain #transport #ecommerce #freight #warehouse #delivery #packagingdesign Created by the professionals at arrow supply chain management https://www.arrow-scm.com #logistics #supplychain #transportation https://youtu.be/sb3cmulg66E https://www.youtube.com/embed/sb3cmulg66E https://arrow-scm.com/blog/chargeable-weight-explained-why-your-shipment-can-cost-more-than-it-weighs-nXWtrc 2026-04-07 monthly 0.7 https://img.youtube.com/vi/nXWtrciCAtQ/maxresdefault.jpg Chargeable Weight Explained: Why Your Shipment Can Cost More Than It Weighs Why can a light shipment still be expensive to transport? Because in logistics, freight is often priced not only by actual weight, but also by the space a shipment occupies. That is where chargeable weight comes in. In this video, we explain: • what chargeable weight means • the difference between actual weight and volumetric weight • why carriers use dimensional pricing • why light but bulky cargo can cost more than expected • where this matters most in air freight, courier, parcel shipping, and e-commerce This is one of the core concepts behind freight pricing, shipping quotes, packaging decisions, and transport cost control. If you work in logistics, supply chain, import/export, procurement, parcel shipping, or e-commerce, understanding chargeable weight will help you avoid surprises and compare freight offers more accurately.

Global supply chains do not break in silence. In this episode of the Crisis Logistics Podcast, we unpack the latest Middle East developments through a sharp, interactive discussion focused on what they mean for shipping, air cargo, energy flows, freight costs, lead times, and supply chain risk. Current disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, pressure on Gulf export infrastructure, and air-route instability are already forcing rerouting decisions across multiple sectors.  This episode connects geopolitics with real operational consequences: delayed vessels, constrained capacity, volatile energy exposure, shifting trade flows, emergency workarounds, and the growing need for contingency planning. It is a practical, dynamic logistics conversation built for shippers, freight forwarders, importers, exporters, procurement teams, and supply chain professionals trying to understand what matters now. Broader maritime data also shows that geopolitical disruption continues to reshape global shipping patterns well beyond one single corridor.  If you work in logistics, transport, or international trade, this episode helps translate fast-moving events into operational insight. #logistics #supplychain #shipping #freight #transportation #middleeast #crisispodcast #aircargo #maritime #riskmanagement Created by the professionals at arrow supply chain management https://www.arrow-scm.com #logistics #supplychain #transportation https://youtu.be/jTa5et0yaXs https://www.youtube.com/embed/jTa5et0yaXs https://arrow-scm.com/blog/fob-vs-fca-for-container-shipping-which-one-fits-modern-export-flows-dRT7ZJ 2026-04-06 monthly 0.7 https://img.youtube.com/vi/dRT7ZJT7e0g/maxresdefault.jpg FOB vs FCA for Container Shipping — Which One Fits Modern Export Flows?

Starting with transportation, this channel covers freight, shipping, Incoterms, customs, pricing, packaging, documents, tendering, KPIs, crisis logistics, handover, receipt, shortages, damage, and the operational details that shape real supply chains. The focus is not theory for its own sake, but commercial and operational understanding you can actually use: how transport works, why costs change, where risks appear, what documents matter, how responsibilities are split, and how better decisions are made across the supply chain. Topics include air freight, ocean freight, road freight, rail freight, courier and parcel, ecommerce logistics, freight pricing, customs basics, landed cost, warehouse interfaces, logistics performance, and crisis response. New videos break down complex logistics topics into structured, practical lessons. #logistics, #supplychain, #freight, #shipping, #transportation, #incoterms, #customs, #importexport, #airfreight, #oceanfreight, #roadfreight, #warehousing, #inventorymanagement, #packaging, #ecommerce Created by the professionals at arrow supply chain management https://www.arrow-scm.com #logistics #supplychain #transportation https://youtu.be/_URcbXLIvxs https://www.youtube.com/embed/_URcbXLIvxs https://arrow-scm.com/blog/d-incoterms-explained-dap-dpu-ddp-and-what-delivered-really-means-T_yK1q 2026-04-14 monthly 0.7 https://img.youtube.com/vi/T_yK1q62Hv4/maxresdefault.jpg D-Incoterms Explained — DAP, DPU, DDP and What “Delivered” Really Means What do DAP, DPU, and DDP really mean — and what does “delivered” actually include in Incoterms?
