Products can be transported on pallets, depending on factors such as the nature, size and weight of your product and the transport requirements. Cardboard transport is usually suitable for some larger, heavier or stackable products, which can improve transport efficiency and protect the products.
There may be the following reasons for the higher shipping cost after using cardboard for shipping:
The weight of the cardboard itself: cardboards are usually made of wood or plastic and have a certain weight of their own. When a product is placed on a cardboard for shipping, the weight of the cardboard is also counted in the shipping cost, thus increasing the shipping cost.
Weight and volume of the goods: The weight and volume of the goods are important factors that affect the freight cost. If the goods are heavier or bulkier, they need to be transported on bigger pallets or more pallets, which will lead to an increase in the freight cost.
