Shipping Wall Stickers from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Nizhniy Novgorod Port, Russia via Ocean Freight
Shipping Method: FCL and LCL
FCL (Full Container Load) is the most common method for shipping large volumes of goods. In this scenario, you can ship either a 20-foot or 40-foot container depending on the quantity of your wall stickers. For instance, a 20FT container offers around 33 cubic meters of space, while a 40FT container offers around 67 cubic meters. This allows for more efficient and cost-effective shipping for large quantities.
If your shipment doesn’t fill an entire container, you can opt for LCL (Less than Container Load), where your goods share container space with those from other exporters. While LCL is generally more affordable for smaller shipments, it is important to note that the transit time may vary slightly compared to FCL. The ocean journey from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Nizhniy Novgorod typically takes about 42 days.
Port to Port Transport
The CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) shipping option is a widely chosen method for shipping goods, which covers not only the cost of ocean freight but also insurance and freight charges up to the destination port. This means that once your goods arrive at Nizhniy Novgorod Port, the shipping company will handle the delivery to the port, and from there, you are responsible for inland transportation to the final destination.
Packaging for Wall Stickers
Proper packaging is crucial to protect the goods during the long ocean journey. Wall stickers, typically made of vinyl or other flexible materials, need to be securely packaged to avoid any damage. Here’s how you can ensure proper packaging:
Roll and Protect: To prevent creases, wall stickers should be rolled up carefully, with the design facing inward. This minimizes pressure on the artwork and ensures that no marks or damages occur. The rolls can then be placed inside protective plastic or bubble wrap to shield them from moisture and impacts.
Rigid Packaging: Once wrapped in protective materials, the rolls should be placed inside rigid cardboard tubes or boxes to ensure they remain intact during transit. This also prevents any bending or tearing of the stickers.
Labeling and Documentation: Proper labeling should be applied, including clear details about the contents and destination. It is essential to include shipping labels with handling instructions like “Handle with Care” and “Do Not Bend.”
Space Utilization: When shipping via FCL, careful placement of the boxes or tubes within the container is necessary to optimize space and prevent shifting during transit. For LCL, it’s important that the goods are packed securely to avoid damage during consolidation with other shipments.
