التعبئة والتغليف & حماية
Printed books are heavy and sensitive to transit moisture. Factory packing follows strict export standards to ensure books arrive pristine, flat, and retail-ready:
BC Flute Double-Wall Export Cartons
Heavy-duty BC double-wall corrugated export cartons with approximately 7 مم (6.5–7.5 مم) wall thickness. Carton interiors feature corner protection with no void spaces, and gross weight is strictly capped under 15 kg per carton to prevent transit crushing.
Moisture Protection & Pallet Packaging
Appropriate moisture-proof protection is implemented for every shipment to safeguard books against humidity during ocean transit. Cartons are stacked on ISPM 15 compliant pallets reinforced with protective corner boards, heavy-duty strapping, and multi-layer stretch wrap.
فحص الجودة & Packing Specifications
- 100% Pre-Packing Visual Inspection: Every book is inspected before packing to ensure it is intact and retail-ready, free from corner dings, creases, الخدوش, ink scuffing, binding defects, or loose pages.
- Third-Party Pre-Shipment Inspection: Factory welcomes independent third-party inspection agencies (SGS, TÜV, Intertek) prior to container loading.
- Individual Protective Packaging: Single-book shrink wrap, paper belly bands, individual book sleeves, or slipcases available per client requirements.
- Safe Freight Practice: Loose carton parcel shipment is prohibited for bulk orders; cargo must be securely palletized.

We support four standard international trade terms (EXW, فوب, سيف, DDP) according to your project needs and forwarding arrangements:
EXW (Ex Works)
Suitable for clients who have their own designated freight forwarders picking up cargo directly from our factory warehouse in China.

Door-to-door delivery service covering international freight, export/import customs clearance, tariffs, taxes, and final delivery directly to your door.
Regional Customs & DDP Service Coverage
We provide DDP (تسليم واجب المدفوعة) door-to-door shipping solutions for select international destinations, simplifying customs clearance and import tax administration. Regional service availability is outlined below:
- USA and Australia: DDP shipping is available for almost all orders. Your package will be delivered directly to your doorstep with no hidden fees. (Excluding remote areas)
- الاتحاد الأوروبي: We offer DDP shipping to most EU countries. (Please note that this only covers the EU; non-EU European countries, such as the UK or Switzerland, may have different customs requirements.)
- Other Countries: For regions where DDP is not supported, orders will be shipped via DDU/DAP (Delivered to Destination), meaning any local import duties or customs fees are the buyer's responsibility.
